That’s why I keep calling you a pedant. If you say “capitalism invented racism” and don’t specify “white supremacism” people are going to call you full of shit.
Except that I’m correct, and what I’m saying is basically unanimously agreed upon among historians and there’s ample literature of racism first appearing at this time. So if people “think I’m full of shit” I can then educate them on reality, as I’m doing here. And while doing so, it’s a great time to also spell out dialectical materialism with a concrete example. This is why the difference is significant, cause your definition doesn’t challenge the idealists while mine does.
Stop trying to change definitions. Just stick to what is universally understood. It causes confusion and misunderstanding and feeds into Liberals idealism, as seen in this thread.
