Identity politics and anti-Semitism

Erich Fromm revisited



The black bourgeoisie -not the black working class - was enthusiastic for " Wall St. Hillary ". Establishment USA supported " Corrupt  Hillary ". The mainstream news media supported " Corrupt Hillary ". What does this say about the political morality of Establishment USA ?

Working class black people owe nothing to the Clintons - who led the cruel " reforms " on welfare. Way back in 1965 Black Muslim Malcolm X made a connection between racism and capitalism, between racism and imperialism ( read " The Last Year of Malcolm X " by socialist George Breitman ).

Malcolm X evolved into revolutionary - not anti-white, not anti-Semitic. But he did say : " Show me a capitalist and I will show you a blood sucker ".

" Identity politics " is itself making RACE an issue where it is not. The real issue- which the Bernie Sanders campaign focused on - is unacceptable economic inequality.

The rise of fascism in Nazi Germany was a consequence of capitalist decay .Read Erich Fromm's " The Sane Society ". Fromm was a socialist humanist.
