    I was giving a class exposition on the BLM protests because OP was upset I said USA should be balkanised

    I wasn't saying to focus on one or the other (though I would say anti-imperialism is more important)

      You're literally arguing that a spontaneous mass movement against racism and police violence is reactionary, because people on the streets did not spontaneously learn Marxism and generate internationalist, class-conscious demands.

      Your balkanization point was also wrong, there's nothing to be gained for the working class by dividing the US along lines that track the voter base of bourgeois parties , but that's sort of secondary to the worst "Marxist" analysis of race, racism, and social movements I've ever seen in my life.

      though I would say anti-imperialism is more important

      Might racism play some sort of role in maintaining US capitalism and its super-exploitation of workers abroad?

          Try actually responding to the argument.

            I'm not interested in discussion with you.

            We already discussed and you had to deliberately chop my comment at 1/4 the way through to shoehorn your disingenuous twisting of my words.

            So have a nice day I hope civil war happens in US soon k bye

              I deliberately cropped it to include the part where you said "The BLM movement represents social fascism as outlined by Stalin," but don't worry, I also linked to your comment so everyone can get the full context for your reactionary take.
