"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

An example as a general response to the comments on this thread about apparent concerns about me conflafing white settler nation and imperial core nations with labour aristocracy because of relative internal domestic poverty...
After Brown Vs Board, it got worse for black folks immediately after. White civil society en masse took to further discrimination, lynching and torture against the black population. There was a decrease in black teachers (for example). So what exactly happened here? Integration was a top down initiative from the state, not becauae of a black + white worker collaboration against the capitalist state, but why? Because the state was worried about marxism spreading like wildfire both domestiy and internationally citing US capitalist segregation (including how it dirrctly inspired Nazis). As a concession for this, civil rights groups like the NAACP had to purge communists from their ranks and institutions like HCBUs had to purge them too and many black only shchools lost their licenses to practice too.
When the Obamas of the 21 century point to the progressive nature of the US State - they have realworld examples of the above to point to. The USAmerican state at times had been more progressive than White civil society, which means the institution racism is at service to the white settler nation, not juat the richest few. This should not be a surprise to marxists, because we should know the state exists to protect a class, the question is which class and in this it is the settler nation and the segregation of old was now formenting real revolutionary black movements wielding the science of marxism - an actual threat to capital.
It is partly fucking why when the epstein files were revealed there was no real mass revolt because (1) not a threat to the settler nation (2) this was already well known happening to folks who were not part of the settler nation. It'a like being aghast at ICE killing white folks, when that shit was happening to black folks everyday.
