If we’re committed to undoing the world,Marxist or otherwise, we must confront how anti-Blackness shapes our categories of subject, labor, history & futurity.

Gerald Horne: "the US left needs to think soberly about why it took CLR James to write Black Jacobins... Marx was born 1818, he could've paid more attention to the Haitian Revolution. Tom Paine, the "hero of 1776," he could've paid more attention to the Haitian Revolution... 1/2

Trump killing supposed drug runners while pardoning a drug profiteer is a perfect crystallization of the insanity of 5 decade war on drugs, where the CIA put drug-running generals in power and the DEA gave those generals millions to fight drug running. https://t.co/JOv0IfUTQ0

How did we get to a moment when a president could order the serial killing of civilians, publicly share videos of the crimes, and find that the response is little more than a shrug?

Want to place my addendum to this tweet by adding that much of contemporary Black theory and literature engaging with cross fictional and artistic discourses is very satisfying and also a great example of how to paradigmatically engage with these texts
I recommend & encourage that Euro-American Marxists, comrades & 'fellow travelers' alike engage in serious & sincere dialog w/ Zakiyyah Iman Jackson's work as well as Sylvia Wynter & Denise Ferreira da Silva. There are many generative possibilities to be had in such a dialog 1/2
