My mother unironically told me this
Note I don't really argue with her anymore, she's far, far, too long gone. (She's MtF trans but also an anti-"groomer" psycho... don't ask) I just ask probing questions/statements which is why I didn't go off on her
You should mention to her that the amount of wealth loss by slavery, segregation, Jim Crow laws and systematic racism, have given white people an unfair advantage and doesnt allow black people to have a fair chance. We dont get equal opportunities and our starting point is way way way more back than yours.
This was a few years ago before I really got radical too
How is your relationship going since then?
We live states away. I just try to keep it cordial on rare occasion we see each other, but it's mostly not a problem due to distance.
Though of the wrong topic comes up we really get at it... lord help me if she ever finds out I'm actually a communist party member. Prolly disown me
If you are an only child she probably won't? 😂
Nah, my sister is pretty radlib though which is pretty much "Marxist", according to my mom.
I guess that’s her problem then. She gotta get with the times 😎
She's right that it's easier to blame others than to look in the mirror. We have to give her that.
She just applies it to the wrong ground of people
Discussion Community for fellow Marxist-Leninists and other Marxists.
Rules for /c/communism
Rules that visitors must follow to participate. May be used as reasons to report or ban.
This subreddit is here to facilitate discussion between marxists.
There are other communities aimed at helping along new communists. This community isn't here to convert naysayers to marxism.
If you are a member of the police, armed forces, or any other part of the repressive state apparatus of capitalist nations, you will be banned.
Do not attempt to justify your use of oppressive language.
Doing this will almost assuredly result in a ban. Accept the criticism in a principled manner, edit your post or comment accordingly, and move on, learning from your mistake.
We believe that speech, like everything else, has a class character, and that some speech can be oppressive. This is why speech that is patriarchal, white supremacist, cissupremacist, homophobic, ableist, or otherwise oppressive is banned.
TERF is not a slur.
Posts that are low-effort or otherwise irrelevant will be removed.
This is not a place to engage in meta-drama or discuss random reactionaries on lemmy or anywhere else.
This includes memes and circlejerking.
This includes most images, such as random books or memorabilia you found.
We ask that amerikan posters refrain from posting about US bourgeois politics. The rest of the world really doesn’t care that much.
Posts asking entry-level questions will be removed.
Questions like “What is Maoism?” or “Why do Stalinists believe what they do?” will be removed, as they are not the focus on this forum.
Marxists of all tendencies are welcome here.
Refrain from sectarianism, defined here as unprincipled criticism. Posts trash-talking a certain tendency or marxist figure will be removed. Circlejerking, throwing insults around, and other pettiness is unacceptable.
If criticisms must be made, make them in a principled manner, applying Marxist analysis.
The goal of this subreddit is the accretion of theory and knowledge and the promotion of quality discussion and criticism.
