    Communism is now being reworked upon racial lines, which is why progressives are so racist and pro segregation. They want racial segregation to play it off against each other.
    That's right, but it is still an analysis of pragmatism and strength.

    It is easier by far to convince a person his race is oppressed than to teach him to take responsibility.
    For these people, it is not about communism; it is only about war against the enemy.
    If you are white, they are convinced you are the enemy, have always been the enemy and always will be the enemy.
    The psychological damage is done and there is no realistic way to ever reverse it.
    Making concessions to them or pandering to their communist leaders/agitators only will serve to weaken your position.
    You should accept the individuals of any race who aren't fooled by the bullshit. They will never extort you, blame you or ask you to make concessions to the communists.

    More importantly, which groups are strong and which groups are a liability?
    Are the paid BLM mobs and inner city criminals, who have been so desperate to steal a television or sucker punch an elderly Asian woman, strong in any way?
    How about the Central American street gangs, migrants and Mexican drug cartels? Would they be able or willing to function as part of a disciplined, loyal, organized, cohesive group when faced with setbacks, struggle or limited resources?

    In what way is the whole Marx thing a fake?

    A fantastic little 180 second retort to The Enemy. We all know who this applies to…

    That appears to be data gathered by the city, which makes it dubious in my mind. Do not trust New York City, it is corrupt as all hell.

    Silly fellow, who is "bourgeoisie" and who is "proletariat" is not decided by what car you own. It's decided by the communists who decide who needs their shit taken away by the state.

    From eugyppius:

    Anne Will is probably the most important Sunday political talkshow in Germany. Yesterday’s episode featured a gaggle of obnoxious guests, who had clearly been assembled to warn against any loosening of Corona restrictions ahead of the minister-president summit today. Among them was Hendrik Wüst, minister president of Nordrhein Westfalen (CDU), who at one very revealing point explained why he thinks we need to mandate vaccination:

    “The purpose of mandates, is so that we can signal to those who have done everything right in the last two years—who have gotten vaccinated, who have been cautious, who have had themselves tested, who wear masks—that now it’s down to those others who have thus far refused, so that we can all get a bit more normality back – step by step, and certainly no return to lockdown next winter.”

    When Will, clearly puzzled, ask him to clarify, he doubled down:...

    Interesting, that this is never mentioned.

    They also leave out the reasons why Russia might be concerned over its neighbor Ukraine. CNN reported recently that the Biden Administration approved another $200 million in military aid to Ukraine last month, making nearly half a billion dollars in weapons over the past year.

    Imagine if China was sending half a billion dollars in weapons to Mexico to strengthen and embolden a hyper-aggressive anti-US regime. Would the US not be “massing troops near the Mexican border”?

    Also there is that issue about the US-backed overthrow of the democratically-elected Ukrainian government in 2014, which is the starting point of all these recent problems. And this week Yahoo News reported that the CIA is training Ukrainian paramilitaries on US soil!

    We could be in a full-scale war with both Russia and China, and it would never be mentioned on the network news.

    His bio is so full of plot holes, it is out of this world. Take any period in his life, just a random one:
    An outline of "Marxism" had definitely formed in the mind of Karl Marx by late 1844. Indeed, many features of the Marxist view of the world had been worked out in great detail, but Marx needed to write down all of the details of his world view to further clarify the new critique of political economy in his own mind.[86] Accordingly, Marx wrote The Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts.[87] These manuscripts covered numerous topics, detailing Marx's concept of alienated labour.[88] By the spring of 1845, his continued study of political economy, capital and capitalism had led Marx to the belief that the new critique of political economy he was espousing—that of scientific socialism—needed to be built on the base of a thoroughly developed materialistic view of the world
    The dude was born in 1818, and by 1844 he had an outline of his political philosophy? A kid of 26 had an "outline" of the CMC, MCM, M..M thing? The only outline that interested any actual dude at 26 in 1844 was an outline of a lady's ankles under the xxl dresses they wore.

    Mind you, according to the bio, he was such a prolific writer by the time he is supposed to have come up with an "outline of Marxism", I am surprised he had any time to think about anything else other than Hegel and getting married and starting to raise a family and unbelievable bullshit they are trying to pass as history. Doesn't matter though, who ever actually wrote the Capital is one funny motherfucker, this is the only book in the dumb, boring, fake field of economics that made me laugh out loud. I got a chuckle or two from Keynes's General Theory, but I physically lolled at parts of the Capital.

    I think it's far easier to just convince someone they are oppressed for any reason than to get them to take responsibility. This is something I've learned in my own life just looking at the lines of thinking I've fallen into in the past.
