Repeating Commie propaganda doesn't magically make it true.The author of the article (you probably didn't read) hates the undemocratic nature of capitalism and the way it uses divide and conquer tactics to maintain its hegemony in the US:You know an article written by a Commie who hates capitalism really isn't a scathing indictment of capitalism, right?

How Racism is an Essential Tool for Maintaining the Capitalist Order
by RICHARD D. WOLFF"
"U.S. capitalism survived because it found a solution to the basic problem of its instability, its business cycles.
"Since capitalism never could end cyclical downturns and their awful effects, its survival required making those effects somehow socially tolerable.
"Systemic racism survived in the post-Civil War United States partly because it helped to achieve that tolerability.
"Capitalism provided conditions for the reproduction of systemic racism, and vice versa."
