The harder pill for Marxists to swallow is that race ALSO alters the bourgeoisie. The position of Black bourgeoisie, for example, cannot be understood relative to their workers without thinking about race.
Not all workers are the same, comrade. If you want them as part of the vanguard, you need to recognize that their material conditions include their racialized oppression and that the structures that maintain the oppression also condition the economic exchanges you’re critiquing.

"Funny fact about a cage: they're never built for just one group, so when that cage is done with them and you're still poor they come for you. The newest lowest on the totem well golly gee you have been used. You helped to fuel the death machine that down the line will kill you too."

The concentration camps will not only be for immigrants, documented or otherwise. They already aren't.

They won't only be for brown and Black people.

The targets will keep expanding. It will not end.

The only way it will is if we stop it. Both in and out of the system. There is no other way.

Everyone else's "New Year" celebrations starting during Black History Month is a sign from the heavens that now is our time to reject white supremacy TOGETHER.

Or it's heralding the new Golden Child. Either way, rejoice!

Down the rabbit hole of blankets made by the women of my family and this is tangential but I was cute as fuck.

I was honestly shocked when I sat down and watched the first three. I didn't know the movies had Something To Say.
going to repeat my take that the purge franchise is some of the best political filmmaking of the last fifteen years

Have to do a short familial project for my digital humanities classes and it never super occurred to me how many blankets exist in my house that were made by the women in my life (great grandma, grandma, wife, stepdaughter) until I needed to pick a theme.

Hey so, profs and teachers, is there a point at which asking students to come to class while the gestapo is afoot is unethical? And like. How do you manage that?
