��The black bourgeoisie have shown no interest in the ‘liberation’ of Negroes except as it affected their own status or acceptance by the white community…When the opportunity has been present, the black bourgeoisie has exploited the Negro masses as ruthlessly as have whites.” –E.

@PinguTeer@em_umoh@Gattungswesen25 That’s a different point than the one I’m making, China can be considered imperialist by multiple different definitions, Marxist or otherwise, sure; I don’t see a mention of China in this thread or a quote tweet.
@em_umoh@Gattungswesen25 The Marxist definition of imperialism is describing a historically specific engine. The definition you’ve provided is describing imperialism as an act, something you *do* not something that *is*.
When I went to France last year a black French server told us how happy he was to see black Americans because he knew we would understand him as he proceeded to list every racist thing that happened to him that month.
There’s not really a point beyond diaspora wars are silly lol
i’ll never forget telling my classmates in school that it made no sense making “african booty scratcher” jokes because we’re of african descent too since we’re black and having them look at me like i had seven heads…
Many on the Left wrongly assume that the ideas about the state advanced by Marx in The Communist Manifesto or by Lenin in State and Revolution are inadequate and outdated.
No defensible theory of the state is possible without Marx and Lenin.

Rest in power to Pengo Bossio Wangi, who was killed in a white supremacist attack in France that also left a 12 yr old girl in a hijab and others injured. The gunman was targeting “Blacks and Arabs.”
Down with these fascist scum!
