Oh come on now - this sounds like some bourgeois objecting to the divisiveness of class analysis. Is there a white community? An American community? A community of Detroit? A world commuinity? In some banal sense these things probably exist, but what Marxist could ever endorse the use of such empty and mystifying phrases? They obscure more than they reveal, either unconsciously or consciously (in the hands of propagandists).
