You've found a reliable ally for revolutionary social change in the US? Have the black bourgeois come through for you, or the indigenous intelligentsia? America's foundation is pitting peoples against each other to support capital, of course the group most benefited by capital is the one it is hardest to get to oppose it, but none of these groups are our allies. The movement of gay but cis men and women to turn about and spit in the face of other queer people(not all but a noticeable amount) once they got themselves slightly more accepted tells you all you need to know about american social movements. We are the only ally of so many groups that will denounce us instantly to help themselves. No one will help us unless we force them to.
