White Supremacy, Capitalism, & American Identity

Within bourgeoisie information circulation, white supremacy, capitalism, and American identity are defined all types of different ways that are drastically different than the clear scientific meaning for each.  By bourgeoisie we mean the people and institutions that dominate world political, economic, and social activities.  The bourgeoisie have an obvious vested interest in using every mechanism in this society to maintain their interests and they recognize that the only way they can effectively accomplish this is by keeping the masses of people confused about these concepts we are talking about because this confusion prevents the bourgeoisie from being exposed for the corruption they practice 24/7/365 against humanity.  So, the bourgeoisie organize themselves to ensure they are placed in decision making positions on Ivy League curriculum bodies because they know that those bodies influence education all the way down to kindergarten levels.  The bourgeoisie place much emphasis on making sure they hold dominant elected positions to ensure policies are in place to uphold their visions.  And, they maintain control over the institutions that enforce their policies and visions. 

So, under this system, instead of white supremacy being defined as systemic oppression against colonized people, the bourgeoisie are able to convince most people that white supremacy is simply an emotional attitude of "racial hatred."  With this approach, white supremacy becomes no different than Black, Brown, Red, or Yellow supremacy.  In fact, they all become the exact same thing.  An attitude that anyone can have.  There are no systemic elements to it.  

Capitalism, under bourgeoisie direction, isn't defined as the dominant economic system that is based on the super rich owning and controlling all the production apparatus for the purpose of private profit as it should be.  Instead, under bourgeoisie direction, capitalism is mostly understood to be a system of "free market enterprise" where anyone with the right ideas and the drive to succeed can become a millionaire or better.  The historic and systemic denial of access to capital is completely ignored under this bourgeoisie definition of capitalism.  

And, American identify, under the bourgeoisie flag of confusion, is never defined as simply the tactical way to get most people to accept and justify white supremacy and capitalism.  Instead, American identity is commonly understood to be a love of this nation at best (without any criticism assessment of what this nation is doing), and a determination to keep anyone from being against the foundation (unspoken, yet commonly understood) of this country that its a European country and those norms, values, and practices must be upheld at all costs.  By European - or white - what the bourgeoisie have done is teach people that European/white/capitalism/American identity are all one and the same.  That all white people have a vested interest in protecting capitalism and seeing their personal identities as one and the same with that of the super rich bourgeoisie.  This logic explains clearly why so many working poor people identify with the goals, objectives, and agendas of the super rich.  These people have been conned into actually believing that the super rich, and the political process of elections that they control, is really something that will work in the interests of everyday people and/or at least these everyday people can figure out a way to make this bourgeoisie system respond to their needs.

What we will counter with is that white supremacy is the tool used by the bourgeoisie to convince white people that their interests lie with the bourgeoisie, not the masses of colonized people on earth.  Doing this upholds the interests of capitalism and the belief that all of these things are the same is the glue that holds this backward system together so well.  

This all explains why we can easily see bourgeoisie elections in Britain, the U.S., etc., be based entirely on working class people buying into their legitimacy and actually being the primary forces that uphold that legitimacy.  That's why every bourgeoisie election is "the critical election."  This will be the case for the next 500 years if we let it.  Meanwhile, the masses of people, regardless of how these elections turn out, will continue to struggle to have adequate healthcare.  They will continue to not have affordable housing.  They will continue to suffer from systemic oppression from police agencies and the other agents of the bourgeoisie and imperialism.  

The only solution to all of this is a mass political education campaign that is designed to reverse the successful tactic of the bourgeoisie to convince most people that intellectualism is a worthless pursuit of your time.  All you need to do is earn money because earning money is the solution to any problem, any individual problem (because that's all that matters) you have.  What seekers of justice need to do is be able to begin to implement mass political education in the form of schools, meetings, rallies, etc, and most of all, constant and consistent political education groups, that we can learn to make palatable and attractive to everyday people.  This can be done.  It has been done before and its more needed now on a mass scale than it ever has been.  

If you are currently not engaged in any ongoing political education process, the first priority you should make is ensuring you begin doing that.  If you don't have an organization with such a process, you have to join one that has it.  If you don't want to join any organization, you have a responsibility to start an organization that contains such a process.  On a collective level, we have to start thinking about how we can make political education as palatable and popular as the Superbowl or the World Cup.  If you don't believe we can accomplish this, that is a major source of the problem.  We have to believe we can achieve this because if we don't, we will never have mass consciousness.  And, if we never have mass consciousness, we can never truly have collective forward progress.  Whether your vision is revolution, like mine, or something else, this is the absolute only way we will ever achieve it.  We know this because the masses of people are always the true makers of history.  Individualism has never accomplished anything to move society forward and it never will.  Only mass struggle, fueled by political education on a mass level will make these positive things happen.  Anyone, anywhere, who wants help with this, you should reach out here.  We are always ready to build.
