I think I see what you're saying here, Carrol, but I don't think that's what Charles was doing. I thought he was making a point about Marxism and its specific, concrete anti-racism, which is different from an abstraction about whether Marxism is good or not. For people who are doubly or triply oppressed--women, black people, et al.--who are trying to analyze the connections between a theory of class struggle and their own oppression as a whole, the details of these intersections are rather interesting, no, gripping.
