Leftism as it exists in this nation today basically consists in the rich and the poor trying to destroy the middle. The rich want more power, and the poor want more stuff, and they are indoctrinated into feeling that they deserve it without working for it, even though the only way this has ever happened in history is through theft and war.
Well, what is being waged on the middle class in America–the bourgeoisie, or as Saul Alinsky put it the “have a little, but want more’s” (versus the Haves and Have Nots, who of course were his people)–is in fact a war. It has theft as a motive, and the denigration and destruction of the class itself.
The rich want control, and they simply use the poor to get it. They need useful idiots, and have turned most of our schools into factories to create them.
Now, Leftism generally relies on the emotion of resentment, which justifies theft. You steal because the people you are stealing from don’t REALLY deserve what they have, even if they and their parents and their parents parents worked their fingers to the bone across long lifetimes. They have stuff, some people don’t, so it must be stolen. It is that naive and vulgar when you boil it all down.
That is where White Supremacy comes in. When we mention White Supremacy, who are we talking about? White people. Who are we not talking about? Among others, persons of color.
Why is this significant? Simple: if you want to solve problems, you focus on the problems. If black Americans are not sharing equally in what was under Trump general prosperity (they were, but the tides are being reversed for these reasons), then we need to ask why. Is racism REALLY the best answer? No. It hasn’t been for 20-30 or more years. It was in 1965, but if you have not noticed, it is no longer 1965.
And back then it was DEMOCRATS pushing the racism. Woodrow Wilson REsegregated the Federal government after Taft desegregated it. FDR only awarded contracts to labor unions, and all or nearly all of those unions would not accept black folks. Even now, the most robust reports of REAL–we don’t like your kind around here–racism is from union workers in big cities like New York and Chicago who feel untouchable, and probably are.
There is no Republican equivalent to Jim Crow. Does not exist. To accuse us of racism the Left literally has to equate wanting everyone to succeed according to their effort and merits with racism, which itself is racist because it presumes persons of color are both less able, and lazier. I don’t think that is true, but it is the bedrock assumption of most Leftwing rhetoric, even if an unstated one.
What the black community needs, in my view, is better schools, better jobs, and more support for the nuclear family. Human physiology has not evolved in the last 25 years such that kids do not do best in two parent homes. All loving families can be good, but this is the basic model upon which human civilization has depended in varying but similar ways across human history, and no doubt prehistory. This does not become untrue if someone doesn’t like it. Facts don’t do that, and people who do not value facts do not value people.
And many of these kids grow up in such traumatic environments that many really, really need years and years of effective therapy. What form that could or should take would make an interesting and potentially useful research project for someone.
The specifics are subject to discussion, but NONE OF THESE IDEAS ARE EVEN ON THE TABLE. What is being said is that if we can all just gang up on Whitey and steal his shit, everything will work out. But it won’t. It never does. You run out of Other People’s Stuff, and burn down the system for making more in the process. Then you get Zimbabwe, or Cuba, or North Korea, or Venezuela. China only kind of works since they have implemented Fascist economics, rather than true Communistic economics.
So “White Supremacy” is hate speech of the most vulgar kind. It is intended to mobilize hatred in support of theft and violence. And IT WILL NOT RAISE ANYONE UP. No person of color will benefit more than momentarily from any of this, and in burning down the system those already at the bottom will feel it first and worst.
No sane moral individual could ever embrace any of this. Yes, by all means let us own our history. By all means, let us work TOGETHER to improve the lives of all Americans. Because the alternative is destroying the lives of all Americans but the very small power elite that the Left exists rhetorically to destroy, but which it exists in reality to serve.
