Tony Cliff: If I’m travelling on a filthy dirty train, as a white man under capitalism I will have a seat next to the window. The woman or the black or whoever will have a seat away from the window in even worse conditions than me. But the real problem is the train. We all have to endure the same train. We have no control over a driver who is taking us all into the abyss. Why does the capitalist class keep reminding us of these differences? Because it wants to turn our attention away from the key problem: class relations. All the time we’re told to look at personal relations, at arguments between one section and another. That is why socialists should detest concepts such as the enemy of the unskilled is the skilled, the enemy of the man is the woman, or the other way round. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
