How many hundreds of millions of human beings has capitalism murdered, maimed, displaced, and enslaved over the past 500 years, Poppy?
Trump, racism and capitalism
"Racism has a long and bloody history in the U.S. Some say that U.S. fascism flies on the wings of racism.
"Since the first Spanish settlers arrived in the southeast in the 16th century, and then the English and Dutch came to New England at the beginning of the 17th century, racism directed against the Indigenous population has been used to justify the seizure of millions of acres of land and the murder and removal of millions of Native peoples.
"At the same time, millions of people were kidnapped from Africa and imported to be enslaved on the plantation lands of the U.S., as well as in the Caribbean Islands and Central and South America. Anti-Black racism was the justification.
"Then one-half of Mexico was seized and colonized in the southwest.
"Anti-Latinx racism was added to the racist galaxy of the corporate masters. Tens of thousands of Chinese were brought to the West Coast to build the railroads. Anti-Asian violence became commonplace."
