> White supremacy is a necessary condition of capitalism.
Even in Asia?
^^^^^ CB: I'm glad you asked that question. It is analogous to the question Chris asked about Iceland.
Capitalism is a world system , no ? And capitalism today is "caused" by the history of capitalism. So, without the long history of White supremacist colonialism,slavery and imperialism in Asia , no capitalism in Europe , America or Asia (See Marx on colonialism and slavery as the chief momenta of the primitive accumulation of capital _in Europe_). Capitalism _in Europe_ needed White supremacy _in Asia_.
More recently, the White supremacist, imperialist, neo-colonialist Korean and Viet Nam/Southeast Asian wars ( against "gooks" and peoples who allegedly "value human life less than we do" , et al. ) were necessary to prevent the overthrow of capitalism in Asia. Those wars and pointing intercontinental ballistic missiles at Red China were necessary to menace it into leaving the "road to socialism, bypassing capitalism." Currently , American troops stationed or occupying nations throughout Asia are necessary to prevent the economic independence of many of them from the imperialist system. No US troops all over Asia, no Asian meltdown enforced on behalf of international finance in 1998, for example. In conjunction with the legacy of the anti-Communist wars described above, this prevents socialist revolutions. In sum, capitalism _in Asia_ , too, "needs" White supremacy.
Ergo, White supremacy is a necessary condition of world capitalism ( which is redundant, because world capitalism is capitalism)
Obama's election as President with the majority of his votes from White people is an advance against White supremacy and an objective advance to ending capitalism. Glory to the White people who voted for Obama. This is a reason for the Nobel Committee to give him a prize. Like M.L. King his persuading so many White people to deliver a significant blow against White supremacy is worthy of a Peace prize. Of course, like any Nobel prize the winner gets it representing a lot of other people. M.L. King didn't earn it by himself.
