    It’s hard for americans to shake essentialist views about race and come to a Marxist understanding –

    • Their conservatives have essentiallist racist views

    • The liberal 白左 aren’t interested in coming to a correct view – “Our dogmatists are lazy-bones” – they’re interested in showing off how good a person they are by howling idealist noises on social media

    Both their propaganda mills are pushing them to divide the working class based on race; getting to a correct, structuralist understanding of race is hard.

    Also Americans are insular and can’t understand that the world ≠ America

    Mao is definitely the best path out: the Little Red Book, the Mass Line, On The Correct Handling of Contradictions Among The People.
