    I think a lot of what he had to say was more relevant toward how one should address the black electorate. Whether it’s for Bernie, Zohranz or a revolutionary movement, if you want the support of these people, the white left needs to get it’s shit together. I think electoral campaigns are good “practice” for doing so.

    yes something that (i hope) is implicit in my comment is that these older black voters that are the majority of the black electorate are important in any revolution because they have the most first hand experience of white workers betraying black workers which is something any hopeful revolutionary in the west/the US especially must deal with in its entirety. slight pushback/clarification, i believe white revolutionaries need to learn how to identify which populations are revolutionary and where the most likely betrayals will occur to both try and mitigate those betrayals (i.e. convince as many white workers as possible not to betray for soc dem benefits) and also actually help organize the most populations with the most revolutionary potential (i.e. gain the trust of black workers).

    Also, I think you’ll enjoy Signifier going head to head with someone to his left here: https://youtu.be/SPOYP8LnwOU
