To End Racism and Police Brutality, End Capitalism!

[mythology]

151. This is just utterly silly and unsubstantiated nonsense

It relies on ideas that can't be supported by any reading of history like if we just have a marxist society we can get rid of cops. Because of course none of the marxist governments had any police forces, secret or otherwise.

Also historically, in the U.S. a majority of the unions were on the side of the Civil Rights Movement. There really isn't the same level of institutionalized racism in the unions as there is in the overall economic, political and judicial systems in the U.S. Yes some unions were against integration, but Dr. King died in Memphis working on behalf of the Memphis sanitation workers, who were unionized. The CIO unions were integrated back in the 1930s.

At best this article is presupposing the end point, ie that marxism is the best long term solution and then stating that via some form of magic, everything will be better once we go with marxism, without bothering to provide evidence to make the case. Not that I think they could as every time marxism has been tried on a large scale it has failed and there were plenty of divides racially that predate capitalism, or existed in non-capitalist societies.
