Why do you say needs rather than uses?

^^^^^^^ CB: It does "use" it, but I would say that we can go so far as to say that it is a form of the logical categories _modus ponens_ and _modus tolens_.

White supremacy is a necessary condition of capitalism.

If capitalism, then White supremacy. Not White supremacy , not capitalism

"Need" is a form of the word "necessity".

Capitalism needs White supremacy to keep the working class divided, both in the US and worldwide, preventing the workers of the world (and US) from uniting, and losing their chains, fulfilling Marx and Engels famous "command" slogan.
