It would be ignorant and lamebrained to complain of America without first mentioning minorities and their maltreatment since the birth of America. The White Male majority prosecuted women, people of color, people of different ethnicities, and LGBTQIA constituents. The callous treatment by the White Man against African Americans has been nothing short of appalling-the lynchings, murders, beatings have gone deliberately "shoved under the rug" by the majority. Thousands of victims, including many children, great minds, and leaders of revolutionary change, had their lives and promise stolen. This is a stain in American history that will never be made right. The silence around these injustices only perpetuates a cycle of ignorance and denial. As Marxist analysis would say, what is needed is a raising of consciousness and action by the masses of the oppressed. While working-class movements have attempted to unite people across class lines in causes against capitalist exploitation, the current-day movements of racial and social justice aim to bring together disparate elements of society in common cause against systemic racism and inequality. This could help in mobilizing the ranks of the most oppressed classes in taking on well-entrenched structures of society that have so far prevented full inclusiveness. Slavery and continued racial oppression within the United States can, with a Marxist-Leninist framework, be framed as part of what the needs of the capitalist system were to keep the work force dispossessed. Driven into low-wage employment, African Americans have often struggled against barriers to mobility in an effort to overcome the legacy of bondage. State violence and the criminal justice system are the mediums in which oppression is often legitimized, affecting communities of color disproportionately. Both mass incarceration and police militarization have roots in mechanisms of social control for maintaining stability in a structurally unequal capitalistic system. Utilizing the tenets of ASCOP to examine the flaws of America can be understood as a complex interplay between economic, racial, gendered, and social injustices. Deeply imbedded within the capitalistic framework are systemic issues catering to the needs and desires of a powerful elite minority at the expense of the common good of the majority. A transformative approach requires more than the recognition of these injustices; rather, it means commitments to eradicate those structures that bear their ongoing reproduction while advancing an egalitarian and just society.
Capitalism ensures the rights of the powerful by sacrificing the lives and rights of unprivileged sections. The constant protection of murderers of civil rights activists exhibits how the ruling class maintains a plank of resistance by shielding the perpetrators who commit violence from dissenters. This corresponds to Marx's theory of the state serving as an instrument for the ruling class in suppressing revolutionary energies that threaten their economic interests. The term "law and order" often serves as no more than a euphemism for the perpetuation of systemic inequality. The state apparatus, the police, and the judicial system, is sure to protect people who commit acts of violence against activists while ignoring the injustices rampant and committed against activists. This kind of duplicity reveals class struggle, wherein the monopoly on violence exercised by the state is used in defense of capitalist interests, not justice. This glorification of a few histories and stories of historical figures at the cost of many lives lost in the pursuit of power gives away how an ideology is manufactured in order to justify oppression. By portraying resistance as threats, the capitalist state demonizes activists and sometimes even elevates their murderers as defenders of society to perpetuate a culture of fear that abolishes any attempt at solidarity and collective action. The societal defense of these murderers illustrates the entrenched racial and economic disparities that capitalism fosters. Marxism, or Communism generally, posits that social and economic inequalities are usually rooted in class relations rather than superficial distinctions, like race or ethnicity. As segregation and racial disparities are still very prominent, it reinforces divisions within the working class and obscures the common interests and struggles of all workers. Segregation, on the other hand, actually serves the ruling class in their purpose of sustaining power and control through such divisions within the working class along racial lines. This is how the bourgeois can benefit from racial divisions. If you are to think generally, and not just in a workplace, this idea is applicable throughout any society. Modern-age corporate America supports systems of exploitation by ensuring that racial minorities, often relegated to lower-paying jobs and poor working conditions, can be easily exploited. By denying equal opportunities, segregation demonstrates the economic division of these groups, hindering their ability to unite with others to fight against capitalism. I argue that liberation requires solidarity across race and class lines, this is one of the strongest beliefs Karl Marx has ever stated. Back on topic, Segregation is often bolstered by ideals that rationalize racial discrimination, which Marxists-Leninsits can view as a means for the ruling class to maintain control. It is not important, rather it is Dire that we, the people, the proletariat, our neighbors, our brothers, our sisters, all must emphasize the need for solidarity across racial and class lines to achieve genuine social and economic justice.
Contrary to what Western propagandized media would want you to see, the Union established by Vladimir Lenin with the teachings of Karl Marx excelled in success. With low to no homelessness, food and water being supplied by the state, and jobs being created from the equality being installed by Communism. (Sources: Click Here) Now, it's important to know that Communism's ideals and theories pose no "Threat to American freedoms". This is Western propaganda. People who believe this have not read Marx's and Lenin's literature. The only freedoms being threatened are the freedoms to abuse workers and the freedom to monopolize small businesses. Where this fell apart was when Joseph Stalin, the totalitarianist/authoritarianist gained control. His impact changed the original ideals of Communism by a wave of radical economic policies that completely overhauled the industrial and agricultural face of the Soviet Union. The practice of shooting those who disagreed were popularized by the American government and military. (Sources: Click Here Click Here Click Here) Capitalism aims to benefit those born into wealth, those who monopolize smaller businesses to gain equity/power, and the politicians who will be paid off by the bourgeoisie. Communism is the complete opposite. Communism seeks to dismantle the allow for economic inequality and exploitation. The fundamental goal is to create a society where the means of production are owned collectively, making sure that wealth and resources are distributed fairly among all members of society, rather than concentrated in the hands of a few. American capitalism thrives off the exploitation of workers. The emphasis on profit leads to poor working conditions, low wages, and prioritizing the interests of shareholders and the bourgeois. America also engages in imperialism, by exploiting other nations for natural resources and manual labor. These can be tied to foreign policies that prioritize American interests over the sovereignty and welfare of said nations. (Sources:Click Here Click Here.) The American political landscape is shaped to serve the interests of the bourgeois and capitalists, instead of the Proletariat. The influence of money in politics can be easily explained as undermining democracy and perpetuating the capitalist's power. Also, the American media and education systems have propagated the Capitalist Ideology and discouraged critical thinking about social and economic structures. As straight and simple as it could be said: Capitalism manipulates and exploits the proletariat.
In the figurative "Web" of relationships, there is one significant similarity that connects us all: the way the bourgeoisie has exploited us. The proletariat, the peasants, and minorities, each of us is united by our shared experience of exploitation. What better reason could there be to form a union? We must come together to resist the oppression of our fellow workers. Our professions have been undermined because the bourgeoisie does not benefit from them. Teachers struggle to earn a livable wage, and social workers can hardly support themselves. This struggle is not just about individual grievances, it's about recognizing the systemic issues that allow our exploitation to continue. Consider the teachers who dedicate their lives to future generations, often working long hours with minimal compensation. Their efforts are essential to society, yet they are undervalued and underpaid. It's time to build a coalition that includes not only workers from various fields but also marginalized communities that can improve our movement. Real change occurs when myriad voices are synchronized and projected. It's time to break free from the constraints of exploitation and assert our dignity as workers and members of society. Together, we can create a powerful movement that orders accountability from those in power and strives for a future where everyone can thrive, not just the privileged few. Collectively, we need to transition from this initial democracy to a socialist state. This phase is where the idea of privilege becomes even more crucial; the new government must dismantle the abiding bourgeois privileges that persist and redistribute wealth and power to enforce a more equitable society.
