Ran across this video, I initially thought it was a quote from Mao or one of the Kim’s, but when she said that the opposite of capitalism wasn’t socialism or communism, that’s when the alarm bells started going off. Are bourgeois feminists STILL pushing the whole “socialism is for old white men” thing?

    I hate this liberal idpol sophism. The point of Marxism (etc.) is to be a science. We can and should complain about Darwin being a white chauvinist, but that doesn't mean we throw out evolution or his contributions to it, because the truth of them exist independently of his having said so, as is the point of science! It would be just as absurd to reject using your phone because it is "tainted" by having a touch screen and other parts that were originally invented by white men!

    What we should care about with these evaluations is how conducive theories are to the destruction of, for example, white supremacy, by means of practical action aimed at definite ends. I'll be waiting for an approach that is better in this regard than Marxism. Let me tell you, an "ethos" of "service" is not going to cut it when the CIA sends a rightwing death squad to gut you like a fish.

    Watch this fucker then rush to embrace white neoliberals who happen to be women
