[lbo-talk] Lincoln Gordon, he dead

[Carrol Cox]

"Anati-racism" is a generalization, not an abstraction. That is, no one
fights racism; rather, people attack specific racist practices or
institutions. "Anti-racism" is merely a convenient general label for
those struggles. 

On the other hand, anti-capitalism is an abstracction rather than merely
a generalization. That is why itmakes sense to have an anti-capitalist
demo (without specification of what that means) but does not make sense
to have an Anti-racist demonstration (and no one ever has). Or when they
do pretend to have one, as in the annual Not In Our Town rally started
here during the period of church burnings, they are hollow at the core
and soon grow boring.
