We don't need DEI. We need decolonisation and workers' / communal power. We don't need CRT. We need a fucking Proletarian Revolution. We need exactly what is happening in China, Cuba, the DPRK, Burkina Faso, etc. A Socialist human-centric system that decolonises every aspect of BIPOC society.

They are the same fight. Critical Race Theory is a liberal tool. It describes the problem but can't solve it. Marxism is a revolutionary tool. It explains the problem and provides the path to end it. We don't need better laws in capitalist and white supremacist systems. We need a new system.

A Marxist analysis doesn't deny racism's reality. It deepens it. Racism is real. Structural and deadly. But it exists because capitalism needs it to exist. Capitalism and white supremacy are inextricably linked. The fight against racism is not separate from the fight against capitalism.

And what is the result of CRT so far? A framework that has been co-opted by corporations. Goldman Sachs has a diversity officer. Walmart does anti-bias training. The system absorbs the critique and sells it back as a product. And do you know why? It's because capitalism will fucking co-opt anything!

CRT focuses on outcomes (disparities) rather than processes (exploitation). It talks about "equity" but not ownership. It demands seats at the oppression table, but not smashing the table to build a better table where working class Black people own the table.

Marxists understand racism as a tool of capitalism. It was created to justify slavery, colonialism, and the super-exploitation of racialised labour. It divides the working class. It ensures poor whites side with their "race" rather than their class. Racism serves capital. Always has. Always will.

shaka 🦁👑 @beejonson.me · 3h
From a Marxist perspective, CRT's fatal flaw is that it treats race as autonomous from capitalism. It doesn't ask why racism exists, or who benefits from it. It doesn't ask what material conditions produce and reproduce racial oppression. It describes the cage but not who built it or why.

According to them, capitalism has absolutely nothing to do with racism. In order to fix racism, DEI is one of their main solutions. The (capitalist) market stays. No Socialism. No decolonisation. Capitalism must stay, but just make it "fairer" and more "diverse" and "inclusive." No class analysis.

And their answer was: "Systemic" and "institutional" racism. According to them, racism becomes a system of its own, separate from the economic system. These liberal scholars argued that racism can be fixed with better laws, diversity trainings, and of course, liberal holy grail, "representation."

They wanted to reform law and institutions, not abolish capitalism or the white supremacy that gave birth to, and keeps racism alive. CRT emerged as a response to the limits of the Civil Rights Movement. After legal segregation ended, racism persisted. CRT tried to explain why.

· Social construction of race: Race has no biological basis but real social consequences. · Counter-storytelling: Centering marginalised voices to challenge dominant white narratives. Sounds good, but unfortunately, CRT is a liberal framework whose founders were basically working within the system.

Key concepts of Critical Race Theory include: · Interest convergence: Progress for Black people only happens when it aligns with white interests (Bell). · Intersectionality: Oppression overlaps; race, gender, sexuality (Crenshaw).

shaka 🦁👑 @beejonson.me · 3h
CRT emerged in the 1970s and 80s from liberal legal scholars like Derrick Bell, Kimberlé Crenshaw, and Richard Delgado. It grew out of Critical Legal Studies. The core claim: racism isn't just individual prejudice. It's embedded in (white) legal systems and institutions. Structural, not personal.

shaka 🦁👑 @beejonson.me · 3h
I've got time, so let's talk about Critical Race Theory. What is it exactly? Where did it come from? And why, despite its insights, is it ultimately a liberal framework (like so many others) that isn't going to liberate anyone? Just liberals writing fancy words and saying a bunch of empty stuff.

shaka 🦁👑 @beejonson.me · 3h
It's always funny when people ask me what "Critical Race Theory" is, because I'm Black, and I have to explain to them that CRT is liberal slop, and that I'm actually a Marxist. And if I were to publish an analysis of systemic racism, I sure as shit wouldn't be coming up with fucking toothless CRT!

The israeli military initially accepted responsibility for the killing, but later changed course and denied it, claiming that either he was killed by Palestinians or he never died. One pro-israel activist even claimed France 2 staged the incident, until they were convicted of defamation and fined.

To think this has happened tens of thousands of times in the past years without the world truly seeing it due to everything being carefully hidden by the west, and western corporate news media. Tens of thousands of children murdered like this child, all of them terrified. Absolutely heartbreaking.

On this day in 2000, 12-year-old Muhammad al-Durrah was killed by israeli troops in Gaza. These images capture his father's desperate attempt to shield him. He was pleading with the soldiers not to murder his son. They killed him anyway. Never forget. It didn't start on October 10.
A four-panel composite image showing the final moments of 12-year-old Muhammad al-Durrah, alongside his father, Jamal, in Gaza on September 30, 2000.

· Top-left panel: Muhammad, wearing a blue and white patterned shirt and blue jeans, crouches alone against a rough concrete block wall, looking to his left.
· Top-right panel: Jamal, wearing a white t-shirt and blue jeans, crouches behind his son, wrapping his arm around him to shield him. Jamal's face is contorted in distress, his mouth open as he looks toward the camera.
· Bottom-left panel: Muhammad crouches low against the wall, alone and facing away from the camera.
· Bottom-right panel: Jamal sits against the wall with his legs spread, looking toward the camera with an expression of anguish.

The sequence captures the desperation of a Palestinian father trying to protect his child from murderous israeli military terrorists, in the midst of gunfire with the Palestinian Resistance.A grainy, zoomed-in frame. It shows Jamal al-Durrah, a Palestinian man in a white t-shirt and blue jeans, crouching against a rough concrete block wall. He is desperately shielding his 12-year-old son, Muhammad, who is huddled in front of him. The father's face is clearly visible, his mouth wide open in a scream or plea, as he tries to protect his son from incoming israeli fire. The image is low-resolution and heavily pixelated.

One aspect of DPRK foreign policy that isn't often mentioned is their efforts to aid African countries, whether through aid, defense or art, especially via building decolonial architectures for countries like Senegal and Namibia. Anyway, one day the Occupied Samsung Republic will be liberated.

I'll be discussing the decolonisation of Africa with some of my African Marxist friends, and when we get to the topic of what we'll do with the white settlers, especially the super wealthy ones, someone would share an idea that'd make me think, "Damn, bruh! I ain't radicalised enough!" 😭

Lol. Sometimes I meet someone who's more radicalised than me (I'm not gonna say how I usually know, cos I'll surely get banned on this liberal zionist hell site), and it not only excites me, but also pushes me to go back and read more theory, and get radicalised some more.

Y'all parents gotta get off the fucking couch and raise your sons. Cos if you don't raise them to be better, some misogynistic podcasters will raise them to be toxic. And tbh, I don't know about other people, but if your son were to hurt a family member of mine, they'd end up in an early grave. 🙂

It's a constant battle to raise better sons in a capitalist and white supremacist system that's constantly promoting misogyny and rape culture, and teaching them that girls and women are beneath them, and are "lesser" and "weaker" beings for them to trample on, and use whenever they want.

shaka 🦁👑 @beejonson.me · 30/09/2026
youtube, twitter, and instagram are constantly shoving algorithms filled with sexist, misogynistic and rape culture content down their throats. And for that reason, y'all parents must be present in your male children's lives. Y'all have to raise them, every damn day!

shaka 🦁👑 @beejonson.me · 30/09/2026
Talking to your sons every time a girl or woman gets raped or sexually assaulted, and it's in the media, is good and all, but what y'all really need to do is to raise better sons. Capitalist and white supremacist systems already tries to bury male children deep in rape culture, every damn day!

This is Western liberal democracy. They tell you to vote. They tell you it matters. And when you vote for the actual anti capitalist Left, they throw your ballot in the bin and hand power to the fascists. It's literally a dictatorship of the capitalist class, wearing a ballot box as a mask.

And what of the government emmanuel macron put together? It's made up of ten ministers from the right-wing Republicans, and just one from the Leftist Bloc. The Left's victory at the polls was simply erased! People took to the streets because they knew exactly what it was: a coup against the voters.

shaka 🦁👑 @beejonson.me · 29/09/2026
And this is actually not new. It's exactly what liberals have always done. Side with the fascists whenever capitalism is threatened. It happened with the Paris Commune, it happened with German liberals siding with hitler and the nazis against the Communists, it happens in the US, and now in France.

The capitalist, loudmouthed and obnoxious French liberal president (macron) totally threw the people's majority vote out of the window and sided with far right nazis, for "institutional stability", which literally means to preserve the status quo (the dictatorship of the capitalist ruling class).
1182
shaka 🦁👑 @beejonson.me · 29/09/2026
Nope! Liberal emmanuel macron refused to appoint the Leftist candidate, Lucie Castets, as prime minister. And his excuse was "Institutional stability." So instead, he spent weeks negotiating with the French far right nazis. In September, he appointed Michel Barnier, a right-wing conservative as PM.

shaka 🦁👑 @beejonson.me · 29/09/2026
Never forget that during the last general elections in France (July 2024), French people voted in record numbers for the Leftist Bloc (the New Popular Front). The Leftist Bloc won the most seats in the French National Assembly. According to your precious "western democracy", the people spoke, right?
