Trump administration plans to deploy 500 more National Guard soldiers following D.C. shooting
The only reason Guardsmen are in D.C. in the first place is because Trump ordered the troops deployed to the city in August under the pretext of “fighting crime”

Correct. Despite pervasive racism, it is class and not race that make the world go round. Racism is a form of the class struggle, by which the slaver-owners then and capitalists now divide labor. All of us must fight for compete social equality, and the first step is to *redistribute the wealth.*

This is an obtuse falsification of Mackaman’s review and also demonstrates a lack of understanding of historical materialism. Apparently the raising of the consciousness of the colonial masses had no impact on the revolution according to the poster. Complete nonsense.
