    Black people have been and continue to be subjugated for being black though. Let’s not pretend like exploitation in the US isn’t race-based.

    Of course our goal is liberation for all, but let’s be real, any attempts at justice will necessarily assist black people especially, because they have been treated especially poorly for centuries.

        You mean the rainbow coalition? It was multiracial and was led by black revolutionaries and emphasized black justice. So I dunno why you’re insisting that black reparations and multiracial equity are mutually exclusive. They’re not.

        Also it didn’t succeed because its leaders were assassinated and the movement got broken up by the feds. Reparations haven’t happened because racism is profitable for capitalists, not because people haven’t organized hard enough.

            Of course white people are going to be involved, but we must keep in mind decolonization and self determination. We aren’t just gonna turn Amerikkka socialist, the wrongs of the Amerikan project must be righted. Every successful Marxist Leninist state has been decolonial.
