WilyRickWiles replies on Jan 16, 2021:
@rway Black people may have been accumulating some wealth under segregation, and that wealth stayed in their segregated community. After segregation, there was no more economic wall and wealth was more easily extracted. There was a small window for real equity after the Civil Rights Act of 1968. But Nixon was elected on a white backlash mandate and he shut it down the next year. The Democrats then transitioned to a neoliberal party as the Republicans transitioned to a white supremacist one. And together they disinvested from the public sector and grew the carceral state while the Democrats offered bourgeois rights (which were still better than the Republicans' racial violence). Neither party has a solution, but you can find ones in the Civil Rights legislation, the Great Society, MLK Jr.'s speeches late in life, W.E.B. Du Bois's writings, ideas for reparations and truth and reconciliation, in Reconstruction, and from other leftist and abolitionist thinkers.

Public investment and inclusion (with actual power), especially locally, are the solution, IMO, to inequities and the top/down dynamic this narrative discusses. And of course there needs to be bottom-up organizing to make this happen.

WilyRickWiles replies on Jan 16, 2021:
And there is a contradiction in the narrative. It admits that the problems still exist yet it is used to discourage any public problem solving or discussion. Indeed, one only needs to study history to understand how the problems started and why they haven't been solved.

WilyRickWiles replies on Jan 16, 2021:
Neolibs want to do work that doesn't cost anything. "Change hearts and minds," have token representation in the elite, philanthropy vs. public investment, "don't boo, vote," etc. Black people struggle with whether they can actually succeed in a racist, capitalist system where they are the minority. The options are 1. Trying to integrate, 2. Trying to reform the system, 3. Trying to dismantle the system, 4. Trying to succeed separately (through a. capitalism, b. leftism, or c., e.g. leaving the US). This narrative doesn't engage any of those dilemmas.

@rway It's easy to find examples where different flavors of socialism have been successful. Sometimes that success is tarnished by failures, sometimes it manifests in successful programs in mixed or reformed economies, sometimes it is interrupted by US foreign policy, and sometimes it succeeds despite US foreign policy. A recent example of the latter is Bolivia.

@Beachslim I suppose it's a matter of perspective. Some would equate taxation to violence, others property. Some organized labor, others wage labor for authoritarian firms. Some democracy, others neoliberalism, fascism, feudalism, or colonialism. Some multiracial liberty, others racial exclusion. If you believe that the people on the wrong end of the gun are less human, then I suppose it becomes easier to rationalize capitalism as voluntary.

WilyRickWiles replies on Jan 14, 2021:
@Thefallenangel Hyperexclusion + Authoritarianism. It has different flavors: fascistic neoliberalism like they had under Pinochet and like we'd see under Bloomberg, and plain old nationalistic fascism like with Hitler and whoever the Uihleins and DeVoses of the world happen to be backing in the Republican party. For it to be actualized and not aspirational fascism requires unification of the elites. I.e., in the US it requires the Bloombergs and Uihleins to fully unite in order to stave off a greater threat, e.g. from the left, climate change, etc.

WilyRickWiles replies on Jan 14, 2021:
@govols They don't rule shit. They barely have a majority in Congress. Biden ran a campaign appealing to Republicans. Most public goods are administered privately by Bill Gates. Republicans reporting to the ALEC-affiliated State Policy Network run the states. Democrats reporting to Mike Bloomberg run the cities. And as I already said, the Federalist Society has the final word in the Supreme Court. Moreover, Republicans will likely take back the Senate in two years and the Presidency in 4.
