anyway white supremacy is still a problem in leftist circles and we should talk about it more
you should be incredibly critical of the way you envision and talk about a post-capitalist justice system cuz some of y’all really are just reinventing lynch mobs and calling it something new.
Just an addition: White supremacy isnt just nazis and skinheads and swastikas. Its also voting for “tough on crime” candidates, gentrifying neighborhoods, keeping your kids away from “the wrong kinds of people”, talking down towards immigrants, demanding quinoa and other “exotic food” but demanding it be cheap and accessible 365 days a year, etc etc.

what people don’t tell you is that getting rid of toxic environments, people, and habits can be an extremely lonely process. constantly remind yourself why things need to change. old ways won’t open new doors. don’t loose sight of what’s coming now that the old phase of your life is over. trust that a new phase of your life is about to begin. stay focused, don’t compromise, and don’t look back
“You know, they straightened out the Mississippi river in places, to make room for houses and livable acreage. Occasionally the river floods these places. “Floods” is the word they use, but in fact it is not flooding: it is remembering. Remembering where it used to be. All water has a perfect memory and is forever trying to get back to where it was.”
