Leave it to anti-Semites and other bigots to describe the enemy as a type of people,
to personify everything they fear as the Other. Our adversary is not a kind of human
being, but the form of social relations that imposes antagonism between people as the
fundamental model for politics and economics. Abolishing the ruling class does not mean
guillotining everyone who currently owns a yacht or penthouse; it means making it
impossible for anyone to systematically wield coercive power over anyone else. As soon
as that is impossible, no yacht or penthouse will sit empty long.

Truth be told, that's how white supremacy works. It dilutes, diminishes, and sanitizes
entire cultures-- hating the people themselves, but stealing elements from their
culture. it's a tale as old as time; a tale that we've had to fight against since we
first got here. and best believe...
We put up a fight against that shit.
