Thank you Louis -- I was totally convinced by the article -- I had no idea Carlson was such a DANGEROUS mix of accurate economic analysis and dangerous racism ..... In the 1890s, the Populist Party for a brief moment made an effort to create a black and white alliance -- but after the 1896 elections, decided that the top dogs in the South had been able to "corral" the black vote --- so the Populists opted for disenfranchisement in the hope that they (the Populists) would command the white majority based on self-interest -- But in fact from that point on, the only way to get elected in the South was to sound the alarm about black folks (using different language of course). The last gasp of the black-white alliance (which included Populists) was the terorist insurrection that drove out the elected government of Wilminston, North Carolina in 1899 --- The novel THE MARROW OF TRADITION by Chesnut (sp?) is a pretty good fictionalization of some of what was going on there ... but I bet there are some good historical treatments as well. <https://www.currentaffairs.org/2018/11/what-the-left-must-fight-against> > <http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm> > <https://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/mameerop%40gmail.com> _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: https://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
