  49.  @Hertz2laugh  CRT uses the structure of Marxism the same way both guns and cars use the structure of metal. Calling CRT "Marxism that swaps in race for class" is purposely misleading, reductionist, and frankly a bit dumb. Why not call a gun a car that moves bullets rather than people? I mean they're both made of metal. Lol Yes, reference to conflict theory and materialism are shared in both. But work in both fields is both quite diverse and often contradictory across fields. The predictions (and occasional prescriptions) of Marxism are frequently not present or directly contradicted by CRT theorists. By your definition all a theory has to do is draw on materialist analysis and conflict theory to be considered a variation of Marxism. Fair enough. I guess Realpolitik is Marxism. So is Evolution. Hey you know what? I think Global Warming is also Marxist come to think of it. Maybe capitalism is too. You see what happens when you're over-reliant on one boogieman? "I reject the premise that the US was set up to oppress black people" Fair enough, but you'd be denying an incredibly well established historical record. I mean it's pretty uncontroversial to declare that most states are set up to entrench the powers that establish them. Given that those powers were white people of a specific class, it is quite obvious that the US was indeed (at least in part) set up to perpetuate the same system of racial privilege that preceded it. There is also a clear historical record indicating that both the founding fathers and subsequent leadership went out of their way to emphasize this point stating clearly that nothing in the constitution or declaration should be interpreted as undermining the racial hierarchy.
