Exactly, social and economic issues are intertwined, and that is why there is a common goal, but people either don't understand that or are too small minded to rise above the prejudices they were brought up with.
I also think separating social and economic issues and accusing the other group of neglecting one is usually an attempt to justify sticking to those prejudices

That is just one of the things that stops people from realising they have a common enemy and goal
