I don't think it's possible to overstate the degree to which every mass liberatory movement in the US has failed because of racism. Like there really cannot be functional working class unity until we figure out how to systematically liquidate all forms of white chauvinism in progressive organizations

To the people saying that misogyny and transmisogyny should be added to this: I hear you, I get what you're coming from, but we need to recognize how racism specifically (and anti-blackness especially) have played a much more significant role then any other systemic prejudice in dividing the proletarian movement here. This is in part evident through the fact that racism played a significant role in diverting both the feminist and various queer liberation movements over the past century! Intraorganizational misogyny and transmisogyny in the US are problems which we need to solve, but racism (and, again, especially anti-blackness) is arguably the biggest barrier to proletarian solidarity in this country

I hate anti-vaxers now. Actively loathe them. There was a time where I had a modicum of empathy and understanding for people being distrustful of the medical establishment, even though every study has shown that vaccines are safe and effective and beneficial, I know some wounds are hard to heal. Now? If you’re seeing the people regurgitating anti-vaccine misinformation and witnessing their agendas, reading the news reports of diseases that were nearly eradicated coming back to kill children again, hearing the distress and fear from medical professionals and parents of immunocompromised children and still saying “Hmm. Fuck you.” and deciding not to vaccinate your children and yourself, there is no excuse for you. You’d like to see me dead. I’m not tiptoeing around you. You’re a horrible person and a terrible parent.
