I wonder whats Stalin’s take on how to deal with people with “conservative values”
In the U.S.S.R. anti-semitism is punishable with the utmost severity of the law as a phenomenon deeply hostile to the Soviet system. Under U.S.S.R. law active anti-semites are liable to the death penalty.
This reminds me of the Boots Riley interview where he talks about how capitalism needed racism to operate: https://youtu.be/JmyWvjszBOw
Before seeing this, I’d read about intersectionalism but this is one of the things that really made the concept click in my head. In the case of the video of course racism is being discussed, but transphobia, homophobia, sexism are all intertwined with the capitalism and used to manipulate and/or exploit various groups. I’m still not well-versed on the topic by any means, but it now seems bizarre to me that people like this don’t see those links between social and economic justice.
I see Boots Riley, I upbear.
