Corporations, neoliberal politicians, war criminals, & land owners will happily chat with you all day about race/gender—it’s only when you talk about redistributing their *capital* or empowering their *workers* that they turn. Class interests come first in a class based society. https://twitter.com/joshuayjackson/status/1350858750639431680
That’s why we can have a black President or black CEOs or a woman leading the army. At the end of the day, capitalism and the originally white bourgeoisie doesn’t care about race enough to let it impede their creation of profits and keeping their privileged class position.
All of the biggest capitalists today are happy to endorse Black Lives Matter, intersectional politics, and the latest gender theories. This is no threat to them, in fact it’s good business. The problem is when you start talking about who owns what, trade unions, class issues.
