The purpose of the #DemocraticParty is to paralyze lots of people who otherwise would be more actively involved in resisting #fascism. That's why it's gotten this far over decades.

So do all those #journalists & #professors get their jobs back too or is it just the millionaire comedian whose cancellation ate into #Disney 's #profits?

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

The struggle against #racism must be #anticapitalist, & the struggle against #capitalism must be #antiracist.

#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.

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.

... to provide the ideological scaffolding necessary to justify #apocalyptic levels of #exploitation & bloodshed in the periphery.

This was an extraordinarily #violent process, involving #colonization, #dispossession, mass #enslavement, & #genocide.

And for #capital, the purpose of #production is not to meet #human needs, or to achieve #social progress, but to maximize & accumulate #profit. That is the overriding objective.

This bears repeating: despite the massive #productivity of the world #economy, nearly one-third of the #human population does not have secure access to #food.

Given that secure access to #food is central to the BNPL method, this suggests that post-2011 #poverty trends have probably not improved much.
