We don’t think you fight fire with fire best ; we think you fight fire with water best. We’re going to fight racism not with racism, but we’re going to fight with solidarity. We say we’re not going to fight capitalism with black capitalism, but we’re going to fight it with socialism. We’re stood up and said we’re not going to fight reactionary pigs and reactionary state’s attorneys like this and reactionary state’s attorneys like Hanrahan with any other reactions on our part. We’re going to fight their reactions with all of us people getting together and having an international proletarian revolution.

From Philanthropic Black Capitalism to Socialism: Cooperativism in Du Bois’ Economic Thought

He realized his mistake in assuming that common social conditions based on race would subsume class and other divisions and that the growth of a middle-income group would eliminate poverty among the black poor. Such miscalculation weighed heavily on his thought as he moved away from the notion of a talented tenth and philanthropic black capitalism as the key to black salvation.
