Political Memes

Normally I'd agree with you, just not in this case. It's not even a matter of debate. You can draw direct lines from the start of integration to basically half of the current Republican parties platform. I mean the second schools integrated, and the Department of Education was created, Republicans started working to destroy it. It's half the reason the alliance between the religious right and the Republican Party exists. That's why they champion charter schools. So many lines you can draw directly here. And they all come back to conservatives hating the idea of black kids getting educated, more specifically educated next to white kids.

You can't fight a class war without remembering where you're fighting it.

Class reductionism is largely unhelpful. Class war requires a genuinely united working class, and racism is one of the primary weapons of capitalism used to keep the working class weak. Dismissing racism instead of directly working to dismantle it hurts the cause.

Middle class Liberals doing the Divide et Impera work amongst the poor and working class so that the ultra-rich can keep in power their political minions whilst they steal from everybody else, is Modern America in a nutshell.

Well that is the point of the post, isn't it? Right winger supporters are swallowing corpo/oligarch manufactured propaganda promoting racism, misogynism, ageism and all other sorts of bigotry against outgroups as the reason for their political ideals.

And it is all constructed to obfuscate against the real issue of class war. But actually understanding that issue requires complex thinking of how society actually functions (a lot of people aren't even aware that they are working class for example), while biogtry reduces the problem to a very simple us vs. them explanation, which even the most moronic person can understand.
