“It was never about ‘legal’ immigration, but always about upholding white supremacy,” said one human rights lawyer.

    That is frankly false, and also my biggest gripe about the modern communist movement. Racism is basically America’s caste system. If the caste system isn’t destroyed either before or during the class warfare, then it will either reform after a revolution or prevent people from banding together to form a revolution in the first place.

    Telling people that racism is a distraction to be ignored is a major mistake. If the modern communist movement wants their class revolution, then this would be far easier (or actually possible) in a America without racism. Hence, why bosses have been perpetuating Racism in America for hundreds of years.

      Racism is an issue. It’s also a symptom of the problem. It’s used as a tool to pit the working class against each other.

      Head on over to Beattyville, Kentucky or Ironton, Ohio and tell them how privileged they are because they’re white, I’m sure that will get then on your side. Most Jobless drug addicts living in hovels. No chance for any prosperity but at least they’re “privileged.”

      I guarantee if you reach out a hand and tell them you were left behind by this country too they’ll be more receptive to marching with you.

      It’s a class war, always.
