European fascism was and has always been a response to the siren call of USA plantation #slaveocracy, #ManifestDestiny and post-Civil War #JimCrow. if capitalists have to pick between enriching themselves thru slavery or the labor of free citizens, they will go with slavery.

Karl Marx told us as much back in 1861:
https://libcom.org/library/american-civil-war-karl-marx

do you get why #BlackLivesMatter is the most #antifa shit you can say in USA?

#MAGA is the negrofication of the white middle classes.

deal with it.

text from Karl Marx - The American Civil War, as found at libcom.org:

In the Northern states, where Negro slavery is in practice unworkable, the white working class would gradually be forced down to the level of helotry. This would fully accord with the loudly proclaimed principle that only certain races are capable of freedom, and as the actual labour is the lot of the Negro in the South, so in the North it is the lot of the German and the Irishman, or their direct descendants.

The present struggle between the South and North is, therefore, nothing but a struggle between two social systems, the system of slavery and the system of free labour. The struggle has broken out because the two systems can no longer live peacefully side by side on the North American continent. It can only be ended by the victory of one system or the other.

If the border states, the disputed areas in which the two systems have hitherto contended for domination, are a thorn in the flesh of the South, there can, on the other hand, be no mistake that, in the course of the war up to now, they have constituted the chief weakness of the North.

Today in Labor History December 5, 1955: E. D. Nixon and Rosa Parks initiated the Montgomery Bus Boycott. The boycott lasted until December 20, 1956, when the Supreme Court ruled that the Alabama and Montgomery bus segregation laws were unconstitutional.

I missed this a few years ago. I regularly lecture about Homer Plessy and his work in 1892 to fight racial segregation in the American South. His work backfired when the Supreme Court immortalized him with their disastrous Plessy v Ferguson decision enshrining racial segregation as constitutional. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-59888947 #segregation #CivilRights #JimCrow #PlessyVFerguson #HomerPlessy #SCOTUS

Homer Plessy: Pardon for 'separate but equal' civil rights figure

Homer Plessy's arrest 130 years ago led to one of the most criticised Supreme Court decisions in US history.

to be part of the American oligarchy/ruling classes, you have to be a capitalist.

USA oligarchy treats labor as a plantation. so to them, white working classes are akin to plantation managers.

#MAGA #techbros #petromafia decided they don’t need the white working classes anymore ―that’s the whole push for #AI.

the American plantation owners have turned against their plantation managers and are eager to treat white working classes the way they treat Black, Indigenous & People of Color…
