Building power: Centering anti-racism and anti-oppression practice

Capitalism’s contradictions necessitate inequality, injustice, and social division. Be it by race, gender, sexuality, ability, religion, nationality, or age, people struggle unequally under a system that mandates their oppression.

Marxist organization provides a framework for understanding exploitation, strengthening fights against different forms of oppression, and requires the centering of different oppressions in order to be effective. Learn in this class the relationship between capitalism and racism, capitalism and other forms of oppression, and how Marxism empowers those fighting inequality and injustice to fight back.
