"Oh, your cartel assassinated the mayor? Fucking casual. Mine just destroyed a country."

You see, we don’t call a positive political event a coup.

"if we like it then it's not a coup!"

o7 I totally agree!

One of my favorites is Gerda Lerner. She grew up fighting Nazis in Austria in the 1930s. At one point they came for her dad. Gerda refused to snitch so the Nazis threw her in prison. After she got out, she fled to the US and tried to have a normal life, got married, founded a communist group, had a couple kids. Then she went back to school and became one of the founders of the academic field of women's history. She wrote The Creation of Patriarchy, a materialist history of the patriarchy that goes back over 5000 years.

First off, war and governance are completely different. War is about killing the other side and capturing territory. Governance is about obedience, which is much harder. If they came at us with tanks, bombs, etc., many workers would die, and many others would leave, so the wages of the remaining workers would have to go up.

The other thing is, this century will not be like the last. IMO the most important difference will be the mass-migration of networked workers who can keep in touch with friends/family back home in real time from whereever they work. This will give labor organizing a multinational dimension.

Every immigrant worker is an ambassador for labor. Capitalistic climate destruction will cause hundreds of millions of people to leave their home countries. That means multinational labor will confront multinational capital. Imagine strikes that span continents, that cover every stage of production, from agriculture and extraction to light and heavy industry to information work.

Libs when Trump supports Nazis: "If 10 people sit down at a table with a Nazi, there are 11 Nazis at the table."

Libs when they support Nazis: "You're smearing me! Guilt by association!!"

Libs 2002: "Yeah, LoTR is kinda racist, the bad guys are swarthy hordes from the East and all that, but the movies are cool anyway."

Libs 2022: "KILL THE ASIATIC ORCS!!1"

Sakai is right. This notion that Black workers are being manipulated by the ruling class against white workers is white supremacist propaganda that goes back to the post-Civil-War reconstruction period. W. E. B. DuBois writes about this in Black Reconstruction in America. Foster is using Klan rhetoric.

They know little of the race problem in industry who declare that is can be settled merely by the unions opening their doors to the negroes. It is much more complex than that...

Bullshit. The solution was full and total desegregation. The only thing "complex" was the white supremacy of the white settler labor aristocracy.

ETA: Calling something a lie is more than just disagreeing with it. It's claiming a deliberate misrepresentation of the facts. Sakai used a direct quote from Foster's own work, then put it in the context of post-Civil-War white supremacy. Even if you disagree, where's the lie?

Holy shit he just murdered her the way she murdered Rosa!
