Yes, Black people, we should read Marx.

[Ya' Cousin Cleon]

No socialist organization has ever had a more profound effect on black life than the Communist Party did in Harlem during the Depression. Mark Naison describes how the party won the early endorsement of such people as Adam Clayton Powell Jr. and how its support of racial equality and integration impressed black intellectuals, including Richard Wright, Langston Hughes, and Paul Robeson.

This meticulously researched work, largely based on primary materials and interviews with leading black Communists from the 1930s, is the first to fully explore this provocative encounter between whites and blacks. It provides a detailed look at an exciting period of reform, as well as an intimate portrait of Harlem in the 1920s and 30s, at the high point of its influence and pride.

The real question is how well do ethnic minorities do under communism?

Cuba? Check it out - Black people fared better there in literal "life" metrics than they do virtually anywhere else as an ethnic minority.

Marx was right about Capitalism. However, he was incredibly wrong about history and how the events of it played out, especially about how humans move from one economic practice to another.

Most don't even realise that we call feudalism is actually an incredibly complex socio-poiltical-economic system. Hell some historians are starting to drop the term.

Btw fukk communism and free market capitalism. Both systems can only work in an iron age village setting.

Nah height of capitalism wasn't the slave trade, it was actually the industrial revolution which ended the slave trade as it made human capital less useful and expensive compared to mechanical labor. If you want to be accurate.

Communism and different strands of socialism have been around since the beginning of human society, the concept of a king or "lord" having control over property that isn't theirs or communal ownership is common to humanity. It wasn't until the later elevation of capitalism, which was based on the idea of human individual being something that was positive, that capitalism came on the scene, and lifted humanity from working to live and slavery, which predates capitalism, look no further than Mayan and Aztec slavery, Egyptian slavery, greek slavery, and etc.

I mostly agree with this statement. However it does beg the question as pertains to today's world.
Why are there more slaves today than ever before?
