Ran across this video, I initially thought it was a quote from Mao or one of the Kim’s, but when she said that the opposite of capitalism wasn’t socialism or communism, that’s when the alarm bells started going off. Are bourgeois feminists STILL pushing the whole “socialism is for old white men” thing?
“Socialism is just old white men”

was having a conversation about worker struggles, specifically the difficulty in organization of certain professionals and somebody i didn’t expect to brought up “post-marxism” as an alternative to worker organization. and i said, earnestly, “i don’t really understand what that refers to in this context.” and they said that marxism was “just for white guys” so it was not relevant. and all i could think was, “noted white guy, Mao Zedong. noted white guy, Thomas Sankara. noted white guy, Ho Chi Minh. noted white guy, Kim Il Sung.” but like a coward, i just kinda accepted that as a critique and moved on. because i am a noted white guy. it should also be noted that, like the tiktok, this was an class 4 [high level] white woman.
