"Islam, revolution and racism" by Federica Mereu XI
The racial conflicts also have another function: they carry the aggressiveness of the workers exploited toward hostile substitutive of those real, dissuading so the attention on the true causes of the frustration.
Formation of a conscience of unitary class missed her, the weakness of the American syndical organizations of the socialism, of the communism and of the other revolutionary movements you are also been hindered by the national myth of the American Dream.
This great suggestion, the dream according to which whoever, harshly working can become also President of the United States, you/he/she is cleverly used by the power to delude and to inebriate people, maintaining him/it in a state onirico of continuous tension toward a future improvement of the individual conditions of life, rather than toward the collective improvement.
Despite many problems as the unemployment and the exploitation, has always united the white poverty and the black poverty, there has not been in America, except that in rare cases, an unity in the struggle to independently defend the common affairs from the differences of color, that were perceived instead as an insurmountable barrier: the white worker, deprived of spirit solidaristico, has sustained never the worker's reasons disqualified black.
Because of the centralità of the presence of the blacks in the society classista is clear that the “black problem” it is insoluble to its inside, as Tocqueville had realized one century and a half it does, and their emancipation would ask for a radical transformation of the whole
society.
For Marx the dialectical materialism, the law of the development of the historical reality, is structured in such way that “every historical moment produces to the in its breast the contradictions that am the rubber band of the historical development.” The blacks as minority that more than the others the contradiction of the capitalistic society lives, they would be able costituituire the potential avant-garde of the American revolutionary movement, representing the interest of all the oppressed groups.
Devoted to all the sisters and his/her brothers in struggle for the justice.
Since naivety is at the base of every enthusiasm, I hope that me the one and the other will be forgiven.
