    This conversation is just symptomatic of how the Twitter format prevents any form of meaningful exchange, but I don’t see anything worth of mockery there, just a blatant lack of nuance and toxic debate bro culture.

    Also OP’s title is completely missing Willow’s point. This user is anti-capitalist but they think that white supremacy is too big of an obstacle to achieving the revolution. To them capitalism is definitely not the tool to destroy white supremacy.

    And finally the Communist Studio is displaying a lack of dialectical analysis too. Yes it’s true that ideology is Historically built to justify material actions, so white supremacy was built because of capitalism in the first place. But, one shouldn’t say that if you dismantle one then the other just goes away, that’s causality based vulgar materialism. Now that they both exist, their relationship became dialectical. Both need to be fought against simultaneously because if one is not being dealt with it will be used to trigger a reaction to reinforce the other.

      White supremacy was created to justify western european imperialism that started in mercantilism, not capitalism per se. However for the rest of the points I agree.

        Yes this is true, the two are often blended because of their historical lineage but if we want to be precise it’s important to remember this
