'Racism Is a Feature of Capitalism' Claims Labour MP Zarah Sultana
2021-03-23
[BREITBART] Zarah Sultana, the leftist Labour party Member of Parliament for Coventry South, claimed that "racism is a feature of capitalism" on the United Nations
...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks...
’ so-called "Anti-Racism Day".

Sultana, an acolyte of former Labour leader and fervent socialist Jeremy Corbyn, wrote on social media late Saturday night that the only way to fight racism is through the adoption of "internationalist socialism".

The 27-year-old MP went on to share an article she penned in Tribune Magazine in January, in which she wrote: "Racism in society isn’t a glitch, it’s a feature. It’s functional to the key driver of our economic system: the accumulation of capital. This, rather than meeting human need, is fundamental to capitalism. And it is why racism is embedded in its social relations."

"This racism isn’t incidental. It’s central to capitalism — both its history and in the present day," she claimed.

"The wealth that enriched the British Empire and established it as a global superpower meant the murder, destruction, and brutalisation of people across the world. Millions died and civilisations were destroyed. The perpetrators of these crimes had to believe that what they were doing was justified," she suggested.

Sultana concluded by quoting directly from the author of the Communist Manifesto, Karl Marx, writing: "There is an old socialist slogan, ’workers of the world, unite!’ It’s not a relic from history, it’s an injunction for today. It calls us to an internationalist approach to socialism, one which can truly tackle racism at its core. It’s a vision worth fighting for."
How boringly reactionary they are, these old-fashioned Communists hearkening back to ideas nearly a century and a half old — ideas that were nonsensical even when freshly birthed.

#5  People of color coming in every day, people of color refusing to leave. Something doesn't square with these claims.

#4  I was wondering how long it would take to call a capitalist a racist.

#3  To the extent that capitalism provides the prosperity in which all these absurd discontents masquerading as desperate social ills (rayciss, sexiss, trans-hate-iss, etc, etc, etc) flourish fester, yeah, it's capitalism's "fault..."
