[Trump rally] Crowd: "lock the bitch up!!" Me, naive fool: "huh, I think some sexism might be involved." You, wise brain genius: "this is because the prison lobby wants more dollar bills."
By the way, you people do realize that "according to Marx and the material dialectic it's all about money and racism doesn't exist" is actually a nuclear hot take, and not a normal ass thing to say, right?
Nobody with even a slight understanding of Marxist materialism would say that, wtf. Race and gender, as social constructs, developed from divisions of labour. They exist, like all other elements in the superstructure, as reflexes of a economic base.
No serious Marxist would argue that ideologies do not exist. But they do reflect objective economic processes and class interests. Racism in America began as a justification for an economic system, slavery, and exists today to divide the working class.
Racism exists. nobody in their right mind would deny that. But why? Because those white workers are just stupid? Most of the time, no. It’s because most racists are unable to recognize their racism for what it is, which is due to their material reality.
Didn’t even Marx right about racism?
To be clear: is that a hot take because it's an implicit criticism of Marxism indicating that as a theory it can be further revised and refined, or because self-proclaimed leftists genuinely believe it means racism is fake? Because I think the former is kind of a given.
