Y’all ain’t shit You are wrapped up in the conversation of identity politics that you forget the hierarchy of capital. Your text implies that you oppose the formation of the dictatorship of the proletariat and is thus problematic. You are not a communist, but a social fascist. Literally eat my ass. You can’t divorce capitalism from white supremacy. It’s not “identity politics” it’s facts. The original poem cannot be taken out of its specific racial and sociopolitical context. To flatten Scott-Heron’s poem is to ignore how oppression systems are connected. I’m sorry that you can’t see that So again suck my entire flappy ass Vaush adjacent communists saw one post on reddit about identity politics and said finally, a way to make racism sound educated. There is no racism without capitalism. Racism is not an intrinsic human value. The material conditions of capitalism leads to imperialism, which leads to the division of people. You are not looking at racism through a Marxist lense, which is the scientific and only true outlook on the issue of racism. The elimination of the bourgeoisie to the proletarian class will inevitably lead to a dictatorship of the proletariat, which is a society free from racism. The racialized slave trade predates the modern inception of capitalism. To say that Marxism is the only true lens to analyze racism is not only ridiculous, it ignores all the Black scholars who have analyzed white supremacy with class in mind. Idk why you think a white guy who barely even considered race in his books has all the answers to racism. The Atlantic Slave trade literally rose during the time plantation slavery was expanded. While Africans were enslaved before the implementation of capitalism, they were not the only victims to be enslaved. The purpose of slavery during a feudal/pre-capitalist society was not to generate mass profits through institutions such as chattels and plantations and was practiced everywhere from the Egyptian Empire to the Roman Empire and the Japanese feudal states. While the adverse affects of plantation slavery should not be obscured, precapitalist slavery was not even close to the scale of capitalist plantation slavery. Karl Marx is highly relevant to the discussion of slavery because he literally wrote about the relations between capital and humans during the 1800s, which was the peak of the Atlantic Slave Trade. Please review basic facts, as this is the exact ignorance that leads to support figures such as Louis Farrakhan and Marcus Garvey, who were both outspoken anti-semites. -- source link
