@newport_p @BlackSocialists I found The Conquest For Bread by Peter Kropotkin to be very helpful to understand what a society without private property would look like. He's an anarcho socialist. Also, their website has a whole list of videos and readings to help understand.

When discussing racism and white supremacy, we should probably start with the fact that “white” people (Europeans) created “whiteness” and “race” to begin with.
