Have WOKE Democrats not noticed that the pillars of Critical Race Theory in the academic community are invariably secular ZIONIST Jews who do not apply this theory -sound or wacky - to APARTHEID Israel ? Do the phony " progressive " Democrats ever consider the democratic socialist perspective on racism ? Way back in 1965 Black Muslim leader Malcolm X made a connection between racism and capitalism, between racism and imperialism. Those Jews who embrace capitalism, imperialism , and Zionism should not - by what political logic ? - be categorized as antagonists of working class people in " OUR democracy " and in the so called " Free World " ? How can any democratic socialist group - inspired by socialist internationalism - not UNFRIEND Zionist APARTHEID Israel ? I understand that the ex-Trotskyist American Socialist Workers Party embraced Zionism years ago. But Jack Barns ' SWP is exceptional on the Left - for years now a crackpot personality cult. One wonders if any current members ever browse the archives of their newspaper " The Militant ". They are in for an Orwellian big shock .
