      There’s never any point where labor oppresses capital because, at any point, any capitalist can instantly stop being a capitalist and, health dependent, start being a laborer.

      If money actually worked the way the on-paper institutions and laws said it did, sure, this would be true My argument is that in the world as we actually live it, this is false, and this falsehood cuts to the core of what was so challenging about Marxist revolutions in real life

      The USSR and PRC never achieved that classless society because, wouldn't you know it, that "class consciousness" is remarkably persistent no matter what you do

      The weird thing here is that I think I am a "class reductionist" in that I think race/gender/sexuality/all that good stuff *is class*, they are all "class structures"

      But what YOU call "class" is an extremely weaksauce definition of "class" (which is why the new breed of academics went looking for new words like "power structure" and "marginalization") There is so much more to it than what is written down on pieces of paper

      This is why I hate the Marxist cultural thing of pitting "idealism" against "materialism" so much It's really just a preference for an institutional, "rationalized" lens (Weber's terminology) for measuring the world, but it's not "material"

      Like come on A briefcase of $100 bills, a title deed to an apartment building, a 51% controlling share in a C-corp All of them are just pieces of paper, ideas in someone's head Snap your fingers and reset the world with no institutional memory, they're all just toilet paper

      They *seem* more real than other things because they're *written down*, because the system says they're real, but the system is a fucking lie A real radical should know that, and know that lies are always motivated

      There are other sources of power that are just as real that don't leave a paper trail, and that override the official, institutional sources of power surprisingly often

      If you really think stuff like what family you're from and what "kind of person you are" is mere superstructure and the pieces of paper are the base, you're misleading yourself In a way, you're cheating to make things easier on yourself

      Social change is so much easier when the only wealth that really matters is the kind that's easy to redistribute, the kind you can lay hands on Just move the pieces of paper into different wallets, program a new set of rules into the computer, and we're done

          I think youve been reading too many white marxists. Black radicals have been pointing this out - like the book Black Marxism that talks about racialised capitalism. Capitalism was found on racial lines in unfair colonial trade agreements
