@nephs Fuck all those people, but the fact is, we won't get rid of racism with socialism. We need to START by getting rid of ISMs. Period.

@Vertraumir You are very ill-informed, I'm afraid. While things may have been that way in Paul Robeson's day, it's well known in this day and age that Russians are racist, violently so, and a Potemkin nation. A gas station run by thugs. Please, educate yourself. Russia is not doing well at all. Marxism has failed in every nation it has been introduced to.

@knfrmity Name me a single socialist state that has cured the evil of racism. Take as long as you want, I will be here.

@nephs Look, racism has been around WAY longer than class struggle. You don't want to call them capitalists. Even Mao made a distinction between national capitalism and compradore capitalism. I don't hate anybody. I know my enemies are not the people who want to start their own businesses. They are the people who want to deny any good things to the people they don't like. Socialism hasn't cured racism or sexism in >100 years. Get real. It never will.

@nephs Fuck your class struggle, which was created and described by white colonialists at a time when they didn't think POC deserved even basic human rights. If you can't see that the past X years of life on this planet have been about looking for scapegoats, and scapegoats are ALWAYS the DIFFERENT ones, i.e., women, BIPOC, LGBTQ folks, disabled folks, and the elderly, I'm not going to be part of your revolution.

@SpaceDogs I don't the term "capitalists" is what you want here. I think it's "oligarchs" or "wealthy fascists." And it's not just the working class they despise, it's women, LGBTQ folks, the disabled, the elderly, the poor, people with different religion or skin color. Let's be honest, it's white Christofascists we need to worry about. And they hate EVERYBODY. Even the other species we share the planet with.
