Anti-Racism as Communism

In the United States there have been brilliant examples of anti-racist struggle-black soldiers in the Civil War coal miners of Alabama and especially the anti-racist working-class struggles led by the Communist Party. Yet racism persists: Jim Crow replaced racial slavery and mass incarceration has replaced Jim Crow. Why? Paul Gomberg argues that racism is functional for capitalism supplying low-wage vulnerable labor and driving down conditions for <i>all</i> workers. How can anti-racists put an end to racist society? Gomberg argues for race-centered Marxism: anti-racism must lead working-class struggle but racism will end only in a communist society that creates opportunity for all.
