The capitalist system was LITERALLY built on the backs of enslaved people of color and the systematic destruction and exploitation of their societies.
This is the undeniable, demonstrably accurate origin.

To begin the capitalist system, a relentless machine that continues based on and fueled by the continual exploitation of people of color, European powers relied on the mythology of white supremacy to enslave and destroy people. That’s how accumulation worked.
Slavery, colonization, forced labor, genocide, the establishment of prejudiced laws and government, were all tools of capital accumulation.
Capitalism isn’t incapable of racism. It’s literally intertwined and indivisible. Pointing out cultural “progress” doesn’t change this.

This continued misinformation push by the Right isn’t accidental. While white supremacy is being challenged they are continually telling a mythologized version of history.
It’s a weapon. A fairytale that protects them. None of this is accidental.

As people keep trying to explain, this constant drumbeat of “replacement,” the danger of “radical ideas,” and this mythologized history of white supremacy is all preparing legitimized violence in defense of white power and wealth.
