industrial (labor) reserve, underlie the accumulation of superprofits,
make viable tens of thousands of marginal enterprises and -- hardly the
least of it -- serve to divert the working class to struggle against
itself rather than to unite and struggle against capital."

While I disagree with the analysis of racism here -- it is a vulgar
Marxist one -- it seems pretty clear that the Guardian was something of a
Marxist publication at one time or another.
