@jacqueline similarly, I will also not #vote for any candidate that the Democrats nominates in 2028 unless something dramatically changes in the next 3 years. 🍿

I do wish people would treat #transphobia as the serious #redflag it is, cos if someone is repeating bullshit #pseudoscience talking points from #rightwing cranks, that's just as bad as conceding to #antivax nonsense & undermining trust in #science & #medicine, alarm bells should be sounding!

They used #racial ideology to construct a global division of #labor, a massively inequitable global division of #wages, & a global #hierarchy of rights. Racial ideology was promoted so aggressively that it developed its own momentum of #hatred & #violence.

#Racism, like #imperialism itself, is not a side-show to #capitalism but a structurally necessary feature of it. It is not a standalone problem that can be addressed with a few #liberal #reforms here & there. It has always been central to capitalism & it remains that way today.

These arguments have been established by a long tradition of scholarship -- WEB du Bois, CLR James, Cedric Robinson, Angela Davis, Walter Rodney, Claudia Jones, Utsa Patnaik, Ali Kadri, Immanuel Wallerstein, Samir Amin & more -- and they remain as relevant today as ever.

Overcoming #capitalism - in other words, transitioning to a #democratic #socialist #economy - is ultimately necessary to end structural #racism & #imperialist #violence.

And of course these very same discourses were deployed within the core itself, to justify paying lower #wages to radicalized people, & to deny them equal access to #resources.

This is where #imperialism comes in. As Utsa Patnaik puts it, #capitalism requires “an #imperial arrangement” to maintain access to cheap #labor & cheap #nature, and thereby to stabilize accumulation.

To avoid this outcome, you need some kind of “outside”, an external frontier, where you can exploit #labor & #nature with impunity, where you can externalize #social & #ecological costs, and where any rebellions can be destroyed with brute force.
