Socialists (including myself) DO NOT strongly oppose democracy and we are not dead set against Democracy It is true to state that all socialists (like me) without exception oppose a phenomenon ( https://b.thumbs.redditmedia.com/uTj40lLYk1p36h65NtA879gUYroqgwJPUBSJZOnIEWg.png ) that we variably call ‘bourgeois democracy ( https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1919/nov/06.htm )’, ‘capitalist democracy’, or ‘(neo)liberal democracy’: where the handful of parties with any chance of winning elections are both almost identical functionally and are invariably dominated by the upper classes.

But unfortunately, China and India still concern themselves a lot about face and caste. So this is simply another case of something that appears to be about racism but is really more about class. There are also sell products to darken y...
From this post First, Jefferson didn’t just speak “privately” against slavery; he wrote that message into the Declaration of Independence. Though Street doesn’t say so specifically, he seems to follow the widely held and utterly wrong progressive myth that Jefferson never meant to include black people in his statement “all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.” The fact that Jefferson absolutely did mean to include people of African descent in that statement is proved by a clause that Jefferson had inserted into his earlier draft, which was then stricken by Congress for fear that it would alienate South Carolina and Georgia. The King of Britain, Jefferson wrote, “has waged cruel war against human nature itself, violating its most sacred rights of life and liberty in the persons of a distant people who never offended him, captivating & carrying them i...
