1/ Marxists believe the fight against racial oppression is inseparable from the fight to liberate the working class, and thus all of humanity--that the two-fold and three-fold oppression of racial minorities is an offense against all of humanity.
2/That the working class must demand and fight for an end to all forms of racial oppression. We believe that the only solution to racial violence by the police is a united stand against it by the working class--that all workers must organize against it.
3/I believe this is correct. Perhaps you don't; perhaps you believe there are other effective ways to address the problem, or perhaps you believe that this is an ineffective or impossible way to address racial oppression. That is an important conversation.
4/But when pseudo-lefts distort the position of "this is the only effective way to carry on a struggle against racial oppression" to "you don't care about racial oppression," it says nothing about Marxists and a great deal about the pseudo-lefts. /eot
