White leftists have a history of using class reductionism to ignore racism and even of making common cause with white supremacy itself.

When I drag white ‘leftists’ for for having the nerve to “we don’t have a race problem, we just have a class problem”, I’m dragging them because this shit goes back as far as O’hare and Debs.

Yes. Our nation does have a race problem, and it’s just as big as the class problem.

    I’d say the class problems created and perpetuate racial problems but race/national antagonisms have taken on an independent form and will still need to be addressed by a socialist government. Yugoslavia ignored the national question, look what happened. A modern socialist republic would need to immediately address such matters as one of its first acts.
