The problem with people who argue that race/ethnic oppression is more important to oppose than class oppression is this. They fail to grasp that the question is not which type of oppression is more important to oppose, but rather HOW to oppose race/ethnic oppression.

The WAY to oppose race/ethnic oppression is to identify it, condemn it, and ALSO (this is KEY if one wants to enlist the vast majority of people to oppose it) show how its PURPOSE is to divide-and-rule and thereby oppress ALL the have-nots, not only those most obviously targeted by the race/ethnic oppression.

I do this regarding Zionist oppression of Palestinians in my article at https://www.pdrboston.org/israel-s-government-attacks-jews-to and it persuades to become anti-Zionists even formerly passionately pro-Israel Jews (who aren't rich).

Excellent summary: “If you accept that mass immigration is being used nefariously, then it has to be viewed in the context of a barrage of measures imposed by the ruling class on the native population, of all colours, in the West. The desired effect would be to increase wage competition, stoke social friction, and debilitate the native population, as part of an overall strategy of creating instability within the population, to demoralise and weaken it. Other prongs of this strategy are manufactured pandemics, war, censorship of dissent, and the construction of a technocratic surveillance and control grid, together representing the most concerted attack in modern history by the ruling class on a population that it views as a grave liability and threat to its grip on power and wealth. All in all, it’s a class war being waged by the ruling class on both the working and middle class.”

And this: “The transnational oligarchy’s ambition is global, and its control plan is an all-or-nothing venture.”

File under Sad but True: “I saw a bunch of kids who were wrong about covid and right about Gaza. A large number of people claiming to be part of a freedom movement were put to shame by those students.”

Worth repeating: “In March 2020, we witnessed the terrifying power that a global billionaire class can wield when they unite. The entire planet was placed under house arrest and then made an offer it couldn’t refuse – get injected with poison to qualify for release. It’s going to take a united global working and middle class to counteract it.”

And this: “We are all in the firing line of the Greatest Replacement of all.”
