The purpose of this community is sort of a "work out your frustrations by letting it all out" where different leftist tendencies can vent their frustrations with one another and more assertively and directly challenge one another. Hostility is allowed, but any racist, fascist, or reactionary crap wont be tolerated, nor will explicit threats.

Why would I expand my knowledge outward when you have not satisfied the rudimentary?

I mean, this all that needs to be said, isn't it? There has been so much scholarship on this topic. So much written. So much conflict in the CPUSA on this topic that eventually led them to full on revisionism. And yet, you won't read Haywood, Crenshaw, Fanon, Freire, Tuck and Yang, Newton, X, because I personally haven't managed to get through your rhetorical smokescreen?

Why would you expand your knowledge? Because you claim to be a Marxist. What you demonstrate, however, is that you are a chauvinist.

a nation is not a race and so it is not liberalism to advocate they govern. Yes, this makes sense, we must simply train them in Marxism.

This is chauvinism.

I am white however I have seen racism first hand with friends and family. You misjudge me.

I mean, I don't know what to say anymore. I have clearly stated that racism is not what your friends and family do, that it is a super structural system, and you make noises with your rhetoric to pretend like you understand what I'm saying. And then you say this? I mean, at this point I just walk away.
