Absolutely not
What I'm saying with this meme is that a lot of people who scream, "No war but Class War," and refuse to engage is social issues are allowing those who are fighting to strip rights away from people (culture war) to continue under some vague idea that if they cede that ground they can get unification to fight a Class War.
Okay so why are you trying to confuse an anti-war slogan with racism? The slogan is referring to actual war. As in the working class should fight the bourgeoisie and not themselves.
There's no one here confusing it with racism except you.
The slogan may have started as an anti-war slogan but it has gained a lot of popularity with people using it in reference to "class war not culture war"
I think you're making up a person to get mad at.
Can you please make this make sense?
You asked if I wanted a race war in your first comment
Was the opening line of your reply when I said that wasn't the case
You're the only one bringing race into the conversation
Nooo... you brought race into the conversation with your original post when you said that 'no war but class war' interfered with social justice.
Bringing race or intersectionality into a class debate with the intention of poisoning the well, IS propaganda from the ruling classes. The wealthy elite may look like the monopoly guy in many peoples heads, and that guy is real, don't get me wrong (especially in the West), and he represents a huge amount of the wealth and power.
But the class struggle exists in parallel, class exists inside race, Indians are suffering under a class system that is being forced on them by other Indians.
If you don't acknowledge that the oligarchy exists to exploit, you will never address the injustices inside a homogenous culture. If you don't acknowledge that class alone is plenty of reason to dehuminize, you are not engaging with reality.
That all exists on the race and gender side too. We're all in this together.
