ICE has been killing non-whites for decades and libs called it 'maintaining law and order'. Amerikkkans literally get more vocally upset about disappointing video game slop than virtually any number of dead brown children. Still a century away from any meaningful form of revolution. The social consequence of believing in nothing.
The social consequence of believing in nothing.
Liberals believe in social-darwinism/eugenics, tho. Maintaining bourgeois law and order is essentially eugenics and consolidate the social pyramid where those at the bottom are sacrificed for those at the top.
While I get the point you're trying to make, how would maintaining bourgeois law in any way be eugenics, seeing as the lower classes disproportionately have the most children and are more likely to become parents at younger ages? Eugenics isn't the right word here seeing as the mass-propagation of the working classes is necessary for the continued supremacy of a capitalist system.
Culling the working classes is counterintuitive to capitalist ends.
The higher classes, the owners of capital, have better diets, easier access to healthcare, and avoid many mental suffering that the working class goes through. By eugenics, I mean something closer to behavior, environmental rather than anything inborn. The rich consider themselves as naturally superior to others. They regard the lower classes to be an inferior species. This is why the “middle class” (mainly professionals) of a global south country is vulnerable to a color revolution. These classes relate to Western monopoly capital, not just because of similar interests but also due to similarities in consciousness. Liberals, as a class, have a consciousness opposed to proletarian consciousness. There are multiple classes with a respective consciousness. We can't speak of class consciousness as if only one exists. And the point is not genocide of the workers but to solidify their consciousness, to make them believe in an innate inferiority and thus cement the status quo and class hierarchy.
That makes sense, however wouldn't that simply be a form of class supremacy? Eugenics as a concept includes the practice of culling those groups deemed inferior and undeserving of propagation, which is why I'm saying that I'm not sure that that's the proper word in this situation. That's why racialized violence racial against minority populations is seen as ideological racial supremacy, yet isn't classified as eugenics unless additional measures such as sterilization, forced abortion, child separation, genocide, or other culling measures are used to whittle down the target population, as was seen in the United States with Black populations, and Nazi Germany with Jewish and disabled populations.
Sorry for the questions, this is a very pedantic line of inquiry over the application of a single word. I understand what you were trying to get across in your original message.
Well, partly because of people being genuinely unaware. This is the silver lining of Trump being so mask off and people need to leverage it for education as best they can, whether they are in the US or somewhere else where educating better about the US can still have value for shaking off imperialism.
As awareness, I'd say there are two main types of liberals in the US. There are the consciously-liberal types who are aware of how things work, that liberalism is a tool of the power elite, and they intentionally use it to try to block and absorb revolutionary energy. These are the Biden, Harris, Clinton, Obama types. And on a smaller power scale, the sort of people who organize the democratic party machine from the top end to make sure it stays in the limited corporate form it is. Then there are the liberals who are like "live, love, laugh", who haven't really confronted the cognitive dissonance of them espousing pacifist beliefs while also not being out there objecting when their country is in constant wars. This group can more so be persuaded and moved. It's just an uphill battle against decades of anti-communist, pro-imperialist media and culture, and any material benefits they're directly or indirectly getting from that. But now is a great time to be trying, when they are getting pissed off at the developments of the status quo.
People are unaware because there’s not enough people to care for awareness to build. Racism is more systemic than individual.
I agree with your 2nd sentence. I don't follow on the meaning of the 1st. It reads as self-defeating, like it's impossible to build awareness because too few people are aware. I also just don't see that reflected in the reality. A kind of awareness appears to be building, at what pace is difficult to say, but people are out there trying.
I agree with you I hope the momentum sustains.
Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.
