We have received the following report from rural California: “In the past week we’ve had a black man trying to open a bakery on Main Street here had his business attacked with racist literature, a young gay male was beaten while leaving work walking to his car and a Hispanic woman who owns a smoothie shop was verbally attacked by an old white bitch telling her to go back where she came from...." read more: here: https://oaklandsocialist.com/2024/11/20/report-from-rural-california-racists-emboldened/
I post this in reply to "Sartesian" who wrote about people feeling anger and grief over Trump's election: "Really? Grief? over the departure of Biden/Harris? Anger? More than the "normal" anger over the daily practices of the US bourgeoisie?" I don't know him, but I guarantee he is a straight, white, U.S. born male whose privilege enables him to totally discount the extreme danger that the election of the fascist connected Trump represents. Just take a look at the report from the article above. Of course, if "Sartesian" lived in that town - or any other rural town - he wouldn't be threatened and he clearly doesn't care about those that are so he can afford to belittle the danger. And one other point: "Sartesian" made his privileged comments on a post yesterday. Several others replied today but not a single person called him out on his privileged attitude. This is Marxism? Total insensitivity to oppression? I don't think so. -- *“Science and socialism go hand-in-hand.” *Felicity Dowling Check out:https:http://oaklandsocialist.com also on Facebook -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
