Policing the Crisis on Race and Capital....



Capital reproduces the class as a whole, structured by race. It dominates the divided class, in part, through those internal divisions which have 'racism' as one of their effects. It contains and disables the representative class organizations by confining them, in part, to strategies and struggles which are race-specific, which do not surmount its limits, its barriers. Through race, it continues to defeat the attempts to construct, at the political level, organizations which do in fact adequately represent the class as a whole—that is, which represent it against capitalism, against racism.”
