Thing is, maintaining racism as a goal by the deplorables became more a goal than approximating equality in control of the means of production. With the racists and the elites working together, we got a mess during the conservative era, the recent unraveling. You seem to be working with a theory in which capitalism was the major problem, to the exclusion of all others. With race being the more dominant problem these days, your system of analysis which does not include racism is totally inadequate.
S&H projected that the major problem confronting the crisis would be confronted. The problem you are driven to solve just is not drawing the attention of the culture. Sorry, the problem of division of wealth seems to be waiting its turn. Even then, you are making the Industrial Age mistake of assuming violence is required to significantly change the culture. Not so anymore. It seem’s likely enough that when the problem is finally addressed, it will be resolved by means not anticipated.
This is the rhetorical position of the Left-Wing Of Capital, e.g.

And this is the proper response to it.

Racism is useful for Capital (which again is not a mere division of wealth but a total social relationship) because it can never be solved in a satisfactory way. Capital can be abolished, but if we make racism the enemy, and tell each other only to focus on that, we need not worry about Capital. (Is racism a problem? Of course. Can it be dealt with to some conclusion without first dismantling capitalism? No.)
You in the petit-bourgeois and/or labor aristocracy think this is clever. A Trump voting hardware store owner isn't the enemy, but ExxonMobil, whose class interests he serves, is. Similarly, you aren't the enemy, but Google and Microsoft, whose class interests you serve, ade.
