A white woman tries to disrupt a multiracial solidarity event against police brutality by demanding white people go back to their own community & solve racism there, and everyone tells her to fuck off.
I’m sorry but White Leftists are not the most advanced segment of the working class, that’s laughable if it wasn’t reactionary.
The most advanced segment of the working class are the workers in the labor movement committed to Marxism. That segment is multiracial. I'm not talking about "White Leftists."
In their position of racialized privilege, they have blinders to a lot of the struggles the rest of the working class has to deal with. And without constant study and self-criticism, they will not truly move towards a successful revolutionary movement.
You are just describing petite bourgeois radicals, but claiming that it is a product of "racial privilege" rather than their class consciousness. The "racial privilege" comes in when you consider the demographics of the petite bourgeoisie, which are disproportionally white.
why are white leftists more eager to unify with racialized communities than organizing your own people first? unity with black people is meaningless as long as the masses of white people are indoctrinated into white supremacy and liberalism.
I don't know where you're getting "swooping into a racialized minority community, where someone else has done all the work" from.
Her comments has two parts:
This is a complete rejection of the notion that the most advanced segments of the working class must lead mass struggle. Instead, she is saying that the most advanced segments of the working class cannot lead mass struggle. Instead, they must correct individuals with backwards ideas. That is textbook petite bourgeois radicalism.
Absolutely, there is a long history of once-revolutionary Marxists abandoning the genuine working class struggle.
Yes, there are countless tools used to prevent workers from aligning with the multiracial working class movement. Black workers also had to fear being ostracized from their community for aligning with working class movement.
Aligning with Communists was often interpreted as provoking Klan violence. Also, it was interpreted as pushing "godless Communism" if their community was based around a reactionary church.
I am talking about people with radical politics, not the working class in general.
The mass of workers will always act in their perceived material interests. It is the duty of radicals to teach the masses the objective truth: their material interests are best served through a multiracial union against the ruling class.
