I love how every decade some Americans blame communism for stuff they dont personally like. This decade it is free healthcare.

I would consider "race mixing" something more neutral, because it should be the norm

gonna use this as an opportunity to launch my ted talk:

there's no such thing as anything but "race mixing" since every single human on the planet is a mix of different ancient races anyway

(or to put another way, race is a bs term anyway since we're all homosapiens)

But its also a form of tearing down hierarchies (in this case racial hierarchies perpetuated by capitalism), I can see that being left wing

Which must mean that not race mixing is capitalism? That's just slavery with extra steps.

To be fair oppressive power structures is basically what defines capitalism

So that's what Lenin actually meant when he asked "What is to be done?"
