dominant ideological element of western society is white supremacy and it obscures that core foundation in so many ways that otherwise nice people, white and non-white, embrace it unknowlingly.
Yep, I think dispelling the idea of race being anything but an ideological excuse to galvanize and dehumanize groups against each other is core to actually establishing socialism.
Just as capitalism is built upon the false prophecy of infinite growth, western society is built upon the fallacious ideology of race theory. Without removing both pillars holding up the western hegemony, its hierarchical structure will self reinforce by some other means.
Have to say I wasn’t quite sure where you were going with your first comment because I read ‘cracker’ as a synonym for ‘white supremacist’. I’m glad you followed it up with this. Persuasive.
One challenge I have is that race is real, though. Not biologically real. But it affects people in material ways. I think you’ve captured this already in your wording of ‘ideological excuse’ and ‘race theory’ but thought I’d mention it, anyway.
