Racial, gender, and sexual orientation divisions among us destroy our class. It is in the interest of the non-productive ruling elite to keep us divided, thus it is not in their interest to resolve racism, sexism, and homophobia because a united producing class, the rainbow unity of the producing threatens the interests of the parasitical elite. Neither left nor right aspects of the elite have resolution to the fractured state of our class. The established left cannot create sustained progress because they promote more of the non-productive with promise that one can be whatever he wants to be. Besides all preachers and professional manipulators of people of all races exploit workers of all races and genders. Despite what they claim, the new right cannot not bring us a better day either, as their path will lead to a fascist state. We saw how Nazi Germany ended up. Although it is understandable for so many of us to blame our fellow workers of color and immigrant workers for our decline in living standards, the root cause for these problems remains the existence of elite class society, and our continued identification with the exploiting class--not the influx of immigrant labor or workers of color taking our jobs. Building walls on our Southern border will not keep immigrants labor out as the bosses who need them will figure out to get them in. The capitalists were in the lead when the U.S. Steel strike occurred 1919, thus the bosses and their running dogs were among the original race card players. To squash the strike, they brought in 30,000 to 40,000 African Americans and Mexican Americans as strikebreakers and taunted the locked-out strikers for losing their good “white” jobs. This would be the Big Business’ playbook for decades. These tactics by the right aspect of the elite to divide us are still inflicted upon us today. So, in elite class society, flooding the market with workers depresses wages--whether these workers are legal or not. Many immigrant workers are willing to work for less in America because the pay and conditions are better than in their native countries. Most of us know that if the bosses and the corporations can get us to work cheaper, they will. We also know that many of those coming from nations where standards are much lower than here, will work cheaper. So why wouldn’t so many of us support those restricting immigration? After all, who wants to work for less reward? The supporters of Trump are not stupid, as many psychocrats portray them to be because if classism was human nature, then racism would be human nature. Because both concepts are falsehoods, the supporting of racism by so many white workers perpetuates the lie of racism and serves our exploiters. When a white worker labels an African American the n-word–it is not only an attempt to dehumanize him, but such words act to fracture our class and prevent our unity. It is those who control the means and fruits of our production who cause the depressed wages. Those who create the laws of the market which allegedly determine our wages, are not of a natural hand, but those of class that are nonproductive, thus the market laws which many boast as some kind of natural law first serve that class. Those who define rule, and some of those same professionals portray us as buffoons. We are buffoons only because we follow the lead of a class that exploits us. It is also understandable why many people of color see whites as the devil because most of the evil in class society in America has been perpetuated by Europeans. The two largest being the genocide of the Native people and slavery of African people were led by Europeans. Many whites play down these evils, while some celebrate them. Stokely Carmichael, the late African American 1960’s activist was beginning to be onto something when he said, “The power of racism, the power of sexism comes from capitalism.” Capitalism however is only one aspect of the elite--the right aspect. The left aspect is the other half, and they are both married together, one cannot exist without the other. Although Carmichael was the most progressive voice of the 1960’s, he was a professional word person and not a worker, yet he understood better than most in his day. He understood that racism cannot exist without classism. Classes exist when one group organizes people or propagates ideas as a way of life, and the other group makes their living providing the necessities. In the 2020 presidential election more African Americans voted for Trump than in 2016 as an increased amount became part of the capitalist thing. Because the ruling class in our society make their living manipulating people with words and numbers as a way of life and at least half of the employed citizens are ruling class, some of us may even seem unusual especially if one is Caucasian. On the contrary, we are not unusual, but instead remain necessary-- yet we are more of a microcosm of the excluded. We are excluded from the existing democratic dictatorship. We are not represented by our kind in congress, or rarely on the board of directors or education. Our group does not democratically decide what ideas are in the media. Cancel culture springs from both left and right aspects of the elite to suppress those who are saying it more the way it is .The psychocrats will attempt to even cancel the likes of a former president even when he says some correct things, and in turn the likes of Trump will attempt to cancel those who expose his racism and attempts to overturn an democratically decided election. Yet, both aspects remain uncensored in the effort to support their democratic dictatorship over us. If democracy existed for the productive people, we would be heard in respectability instead of passing out our papers in the street for no organized group is saying it the way it is as we do. Try to talk about “class”, worker’s democracy, or workers’ power and your own friends and family will cancel you, ignore you, and ostracize you because the mass teaching is that class opportunism is great, thus that is what most desire for themselves and their kids. Workers’ collectives are legal, thus If laws are made to suppress them, we will then create our own political party. Some advocating violence to achieve worker’s democracy, goes against the very ideal of producer’s power, for if we are to win, we must put our productive skills first to outcompete the private and corporate institutions. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves because the change first starts with advocacy. What needs to be said is what we have in common with ALL workers because the need to take power away from the nonproductive people. Black disenfranchised workers need to play the leadership role in organizations such as Black Lives Matters instead of preachers and professional athletes. In the unions, the workers need to be the leaders, not professional organizers. Workers' power is not served by having professional organizers negotiate with the bosses. Workers’ democracy exists when the workers are the owners of the enterprise and have no professional union bosses. Union shops usually have better conditions, wages and benefits for its productive workers, but sometimes their egalitarianism suppresses innovation. Now, many of the best workers leave the union to go into business, this also reveals lack of class consciousness among workers. If one is not the victim of a relationship, one has the need to maintain it. The same thing in racial liberation must exist in our own class liberation: The victims must play the lead role. One cannot succeed unless the other succeeds. So, the liberation of white workers is very much married to the liberation of workers of color and different genders. But even as white workers benefit from racism it also serves to keep us victims of all nonproductive professionals. So, there is no solution to eliminate one without eliminating the other both nationally and internationally. BLM shined a light upon systemic racism and police brutality against people of color while succeeding in propelling more people of color into the ruling class. More people of color getting into the ruling class means less room for the children of the established mostly white ruling class, thus some whites will forgo their “liberal” attitudes and align with the white nationalists On the other hand, the sooner the more people of color and women get into the ruling class, the Black, Brown, Yellow, and Red workers will learn that the problem with racism and exploitation is first a class thing White bosses usually are more effective at exploiting white workers, black bosses usually more effective exploiting black workers, brown bosses effectively exploiting brown workers, and women bosses more effective at exploiting women workers. So, we see that racial unity of the ruling class is the condition of the eventual racial unity of the producing class. Many of us formerly supported the democratic party to ease our exploitation because the so-called party of the people, placed union support high on its agenda. Strong unions meant workers received more of the pie we created, and most American citizens were of the producing class. Now, Dem’s support for unions is lukewarm. The agendas of the Democratic party shifted in the early 1970’s as growing elements within the Democratic party supported the Anti-Vietnam war movement along with many of the college educated white students while many blue-collar white workers supported the War. This difference was a condition fueling the initiation of the democrats becoming the party of the psychocrats or the new left in the early 1970’s. The left aspect of the elite replaced the right after the psychocrat revolution of the 1960’s, even as the capitalist’s wealth continued to grow. We label them psychocrats because they organized around their religion psychology and in the 1970’s it replaced the right wing as the leading aspect. Although the right aspect, the professional people of violence and capitalists both aspects need each other for what they have in common and that is the exploitation of productive people. Our degenerating quality of life exists because those who control the means and fruits of labor are not of our class. The right are the more direct exploiters, and the left more indirect--both live from our labor. Many white workers identify more with the right because when it was the leading aspect during the 1950’s and 60’s, the number of nonproductive elites were smaller, and this was a condition for us to have a better quality of life, and the right advocates more for white workers to retain their privilege in our racist state. Since the psychocrats have been in the lead, the right has not disappeared, and the number of elites have grown exponentially. This relationship between the left and right necessitates getting more out of us for less reward --no matter our color or place of birth. Both left and right aspects divide workers by race, gender, and sexual orientation making increased exploitation easier The one-sided nature of those workers identifying with the left by blaming only the right aspect for our degenerating way of life distorts reality. In fact, Thomas Frank’s book “Listen Liberal,” Democrat and former president of Harvard University and Secretary of the Treasury Larry Summers, said “One of the reasons that inequality has probably gone up in our society is that people are being treated closer to the way they are supposed to be treated.” So, these members of the elite believe in the falsehood that their ”work” is more valuable than ours. Universally, we do not need the likes of Summers, but he needs a plumber for water and sanitization. 50 years ago, plumbers, carpenters, electricians with less formal education were getting paid equally or even more than many white-collar college educated “Professionals,” but they should have been for most of us are more necessary for the people’s survival. The buying power and quality of life of blue-collar workers of all races has been going backward since the psychocrats grabbed the lead while those who produce no necessities such as the likes of the former Harvard President not only receive increases in pay, but their type is increasing in number. The psychocrats imply that those doing good in school, should do better in life. That would be all well and good if what was being taught in schools had more to do with production and providing the necessities instead of how to manipulate workers and manipulate capital which is about 70 percent of higher education. The psychocrats promote education along with innovation as the solution to our problems. The youth are educated more than ever, and technology already exists for the resolution of most of our problems yet the likes of politicians of San Francisco are promoting a new art school. Our nation is short 80,000 truck drivers which we need to get our food. Because of severe labor shortages, America may increase vocational teaching even as most parents prefer to send their children to private elementary and High Schools. The left shout about inequality in accessing the ruling class as if becoming an exploiter is good. Many confuse inequality as the worst part of class society, but it is only a symptom of it. People are naturally unequal--but not 29 times more unequal as some pay differentiations would indicate. If one is better at plumbing a home than another, incentives should be created to reward the work. In corporations the inequality is even greater. Division by class, and thus race creates the huge income disparities. Professional comedians making people laugh without providing resolution can earn millions because they extraordinarily serve the ruling group while farmworkers who provide our necessities live on the fringe. Laughter is possible only when first the stomach is full. Those in the lead have failed to improve our quality of life yet some of the professional word and image people labeling us as stupid more so than the right drives many workers to the less insulting new right. The new right, however, is just another elite, yet an aspect that will lead us to the worst type of elitism: fascism. Turning to our own class, to create our institutions outside what exists is what we need for sustained progress. We see this division in electoral politics where white workers and black workers generally vote for different aspects of the elite. We also recognize that most come upon our shores to work hard to seek a better life. while many also come to seek being super exploiters of established American workers, or to exploit their fellow immigrant workers. And those who succeed in exploiting their fellows are given a pat on their back by both aspects of the elite as “living the American dream.” The solution is to look for both American and immigrant workers, workers of all races and genders to look to our own class for direction and the leaders of our thing will not get paid to organize people. The ruling class has its rainbow-- We need our own Professional organizing is where class was born, and thus racism followed. Racism is not first about hate, but instead a belief that one race is superior because of its DNA, which leads to the racial hatred that follows. If racism was correct, then the Nazi movement would have won WW2. Instead, white supremacist Germany suffered a humiliating defeat because its racist ideology was based on a lie. Racial hatred from white workers is a result of those seeking to blame black, brown, or yellow workers for our lower standards while identifying with those outside our class. Racial hatred also exists among people of color toward other peoples of color as they struggle for the next rung of class society. The racial hatred resulting from such blame stems from the existence of elite class society as each race collectively tries to replace the other race on the next rung, thus workers of one race justify replacing the workers and is the need of the nonproductive ruling class to get us to work more cheaply. Of course, the elites could not do this without our consent, so much of the blame lies with us as we accept it. We accept it because of the teaching at all levels that classes are human nature, which makes it seem futile to challenge such an idea. That is until one realizes that those doing the teaching in higher education and media are part of the ruling class, so they are not going to teach something to undermine their existence. No wonder 99.999 percent of the people falsely believe one group should organize us and the other group provide the necessities of survival. These beliefs exist because of our lack of identity and leads to our lack of class power. It is also the root cause of the producing class degenerating way of life and depression. Believing in class is illogical because for the human race to survive, we need food, shelter, sanitation, and medical care, MAYBE half of our citizens make their living as producers. Those who manipulate people, money, play or entertain us make up the other half. They are secondary yet are looked to as the somebodies. No other species exists with one group organizing as a way of life, and the other providing the necessities. Humans never would have evolved out of the jungle if we were organized by the inefficiencies of class society. Many confuse leadership with class, but they are different and separate from each other. Pig teams, goat herds, gorilla troops and ant colonies all need and have leadership. All leadership among the animals though comes from those best at providing the necessities of survival. The wolf who is best at providing the food for the pack, is the leader of the pack similarly as the gorilla best at defending the troop from the leopards is usually the leader. These examples reveal the difference between animal classlessness and human class society. Class society’s leadership stems from those who do not provide the necessities. This is why when we hear management talk about leadership, what they really mean is to become a professional manager to manipulate the working nurses. If one wants to remain in that position, they must serve the interest of the exploiting group or else they cannot remain there. To have real leadership for workers, it must come from those working themselves. This is how it is done in the more natural animal world. For now, the opposite relationship exists in human class society where the professional word and image people play the lead. Because class is first about a nonproductive group organizing those who provide the necessities, it is not first about income. It is more about who organizes the producing class as a way of life that defines class. So, the professional word and image people are a left elite, and the professional people of violence, and capitalists the right aspect. Despite what is taught, the left and right are not separate things, just different wings on the same bird. One cannot exist without the other as they have identity with each other. For us workers, in their democratic dictatorship, we are allowed to choose only the lesser evil. During the height of capitalism in the 1950’s and 1960’s, many of us allied with the left, but as the left became the leading aspect of the elite and the real ruling class since the early 1970’s, more workers, especially white workers are looking to the right, which partly explains Trumpism. Donald Trump’s rhetoric of making “America great again,” appealed to many because of the higher standards workers had during the “50’s and “60’s--when the right was the leading aspect of the elite. The thing is that Trumpism will fail to bring back better ways of life which existed in the “60’s because his movement will not reduce the amount of the nonproductive which was at a much lower amount when “America was great.” While it is true that we had better standards when the ruling class was smaller, when the psychocrats became the leading aspect of the ruling class in the early 1970’s, the number of the ruling class grew exponentially, and Trumpism will not reduce that growth. So, the need to divide us by race will continue--no matter who is in the lead. Since the 1970’s when the psychocrats consolidated their power to become the leading aspect of the elite, our regard, and quality of life decreased as our exploitation increased. The power of the psychocrats and their disregard of the productive people paved the road for Trumpism. The vision of the new right is revealed at their rallies, when their politicians and their media personalities us they are our voice, that they love us, and the calls to a “better America'' are appealing to some listeners because white workers did have a higher quality of life when the right aspect was in the lead of the class society but these feelings of affection they have for us is similar to the love a master has for his dog. If they are not part of the producing class, it is impossible for them to be “our voice.” Power can only come from within a thing in nature. It is understandable that so many of us listen to the likes of Trump, yet practice determines one’s need, and the practice of the former president as with all professional organizers of both right and left aspects of the elite is to subjugate us. The rainbow unity of our class, on the other hand, is the only effective way of countering the fascist trend and will give us the power to create sustained wage gains, greatly diminish opiate addiction and eradicate the cancers of racism, sexism and homophobia which are results of classism. Yes, so many say worker’s democracy is an impossible dream, but volunteering to lead is already done. The Boy Scouts of America have 2.2 million youth members with 80,00 volunteers in local councils throughout the United States. What is more important is that our practice as the providers of the necessities determines our needs. Our need is to end racism, sexism and homophobia while the need of both the right and left aspects of the elite is to divide us while keeping foreign nations poor to create conditions for skilled workers to leave their nations to provide for the necessities for Americans. The drain of talent from foreign nations to the United States exists because few here want to do productive labor, which creates the need to import skilled labor so Americans can survive. The nonproductive need illegals, thus no matter what laws the Trumpists pass, the undocumented will exist. Undocumented workers have less rights, thus are easier to abuse and exploit. The more influential businesspeople will get undocumented workers whether a wall is built or not. Some of the right, and most of the left, want their subjects happy. We do not need the pity and sympathy from the left. Both left and right need racism to keep us divided for we are then easier to subjugate. American citizens are partially responsible for this draining of skilled workers from other nations because few here do productive labor. Some on the right aspect, and most on the left want their subjects happy: nonetheless most would prefer to pay us peanuts if they could. Some of us still look to the Democrats to resolve stagnant wages, and a degenerating way of life. However, many of us know that the leftist psyhcocrats are the leading aspect of the social order, and that Trump correctly says that. These types of workers who recognize this and believe we cannot organize ourselves turn to the new right. Many supporters of the new right look with nostalgia to the World War II generation, but that generation will never return. Life was better for most productive people during that era, but the generation perpetuated and maintained segregation, racism and sexism. Yet, millions of us look to the right to bring back the good ole days. As capitalism becomes more available, exploitation and inefficiency will grow. More bosses, less producers means less of the pie that we create for us. For example, when building a house with increased subcontractors the carpentry is divided with one subcontractor doing the joists, another the framing with each having a separate boss. Subcontracting is permeating many aspects of labor while destroying unions--which usually get more of the pie we create back to the producers. Despite Trump’s disregard for unions, even many union workers follow him because at times he says things more the way it is. Trump also foments the already existing racial hatred rampant among our class as many whites fear losing their privilege. Those seeking to be a small businessperson need to superexploit their workers, thus support Trumpism. . On the other hand, Trump correctly exposes the power of certain types of word people and advocates increasing vocational schools which are also conditions for his popularity. Although he promised to bring back the past, he cannot, nor does he seek what was good about it such as strong unions. He first serves his group that he is a part of, and it is not us. Declaring workers illegal serves both aspects of the elite. It creates additional bureaucracies for the left and helps depress wages for the capitalist on the right aspect. It also creates additional racial hatred as those coming across the Southern border are not white. Much of the blame against workers of color comes from us producers; it is encouraged by certain aspects of the elite and divides us. We need the rainbow unity of our own class, not unity between exploiters and exploited. When the elite advocate unity, we need to ask, “to what end.” The German Nazi party was united. Look how that ended up. It is correct that no social movement can exist without unity, but their brand of unity preached serves their continued class dictatorship over us. We hear from the psychocrats that America is a nation for all of us, but if half of its citizens are non producers, then it is a class dictatorship, and that class dictatorship necessitates the working class be divided by race, gender and sexual orientation. As long as the nonproductive are in the lead, some of us will be labeled illegal, which furthers our division. As the privileges of our class erode worldwide, the restriction of the movement of skilled poor workers will increase worldwide, and racial hatred will fester if we do not organize as a class for itself. To permanently negate racism, we need our own democracy because it is our need eliminate it. To initiate a worker’s democracy movement, we need to form institutions separate from what exists with the principle to be producer, stay a producer and organize without pay. When a group of skilled producers start organizing as a class for itself, the existing privately owned business will not be able to compete with us for we will not be sharing our profits with a family or other bureaucracies. As we begin, this literature will be labeled by some as polarizing and impossible. No group ever succeeded in creating social change without polarizing or without naysayers. We say let the naysayers stagnate with their tired, old classist arguments that workers cannot have ideas of our own, or that we should all sing kumbaya and not elevate the contradictions Our former president Trump realized the importance of confrontation and won because he was not afraid to polarize. It was not because he and his followers were stupid, so it was foolish of the elitist left to portray Trump and his followers as dumb because they said some correct things such as people in the media distort. For sure a time for unity is necessary. To put methodology first, as the modern day psychocrats is to suppress resolution. On the other side the right complains that those who bring up truths about systemic racism are polarizing. It is not hate or polarizing that is evil but suppressing truth that is. If one cannot hate racism, then one usually needs it. The right speaks of American nationalism, or really meaning White nationalism as if that brand of fascism is better for us. Producers living in the top-dog nations such as ours usually have more privilege, but it is not power. My dad, a warehouse person, would tell me how much better we had it here in America than our relatives living in Italy. Yes, American workers in the 1960’s had it better than most producers in the world, so in class society there is rationale for putting America first, but America First also means putting workers of the world second, which will perpetuate our subjugation, racism, and wars, while leading our nation into a humiliating defeat. We need international unity with our fellows, not fighting them in wars or preventing free movement as has been the case since classes have existed. The likes of Trump will continue to distort things about our fellows of different colors in their need to keep us divided, but the nationalism of an imperialist nation inevitably will lead to defeat. The class nationalism of organized producers will lead to victory and finally a lasting peace. To accomplish this, we need our own rainbow unity. Latinx workers do not exploit us. The professional people of words, and businesspeople do. . Our need is for unity among workers of different colors and genders. The unity of OUR class will create our power while increasing our self-esteem. This is needed to combat the plague of depression and opiate addiction. The right blames immigrants for the plague of American opiate addiction but the reality starts from failed class opportunism that causes despair. Depression stems from when a society teaches one can be whatever he can be if they work hard at it. The problem is when 1,000,000 people have the same dream as you and the chairs at the tables are limited--and all the seats are taken, depression sets in. And the bar is lowered for when it sets in. In the old capitalist society, more so kids went to the same high school, and the separation of those of who is to be ruling class, and who is to be working class was not started until college age. Now, with the proliferation of private high schools, the differentiation is being made at an earlier age. It is the parent’s fault as much as the schools. Many of the drugs resulting from among the 70,000 yearly deaths are from American pharmaceutical companies, and although some may come from south of the border, we have learned El Chapo the walls of cement and steel cannot stop a tunnel. So, if the need for drugs exists, the criminals will find a way. In nations that produce most of the opiates, the opiate addiction is less. This is because the promise of class opportunism is less and thus the expectations are less. Business needs and wants undocumented workers. They use the images of workers coming from the south to take jobs away from those in the north to divide us. Yes, it is true that the overabundance of labor keeps wages down. Making workers illegal also puts fear into the worker who can be sent back to their nation at the whim of the boss. The elites also are aware that sometimes the undocumented are more obedient, and thus willing to exploit their fellows. The division of workers by race, gender and sexual orientation has existed since the start of elite class society thousands of years ago and will end when we have our own institutions. Worker led cooperatives will outperform any privately owned company because with no paid professional organizers, no stockholders that live from our labor. Already many institutions exist that have diminished the role of professional organizers. Problem with many of these is their egalitarian principles of paying everyone the same no matter their skill level. Our collectives will reward those who excel in production according to how the group sees fit, no matter the color or gender of the person. When we are class for itself with our own rainbow unity, we can change the world. No person can do it alone. Blaming different genders, people of different color, people of different sexual orientations will only cause irreconcilable problems for our workplace, our class, and the world. Organized violence, unscientific practice, tremendous income gaps are FIRST a problem of CLASS–not race and gender for as we are increasingly seeing Brown exploiters are more effective at exploiting Brown workers, Black ruling class more effective at exploiting black workers, women ruling class more effective at exploiting women workers, so on and so forth. As the ruling class integrates, the consciousness among us will grow that class is the root cause of our degenerating way of life–not race, gender or sexual orientation. The ruling class has their rainbow, time for us to have our own . “For the loser now, will be later to win.” -Bob Dylan. You can see other articles at peoplesideas.weebly.org.
