Default White is a creation of race?

Everyone here needs to read books about the social darwinist creation of race, look in an anthropology book and read about race.

Everyone should realize that the concept of black and white, and all the other was created to divide the lower classes so that there will never be a class war, same reason gender inequality exists, same reason we are stratified along religious lines all these conflicts prevent class war, capitalism is sustained on the forgotten and dispossed fighting eachother. we are too busy fighting eachother to claim our freedom, and no freedom is not buying things! freedom is pwer to create your own personal context, not just choose inside the contexts presented to you.

Default Native Son

I suggest you give Native Son a read. Focus especially on the final part. It high lites the fact that a marxist(Max) is happy to say that beneath it all is a class struggle. Wright does a wonderful job of pointing out the fact that Bigger(main black character of the story) must overcome the racial oppression put upon him, this oppression is mainly supported by the upper class thus in lies the problem. Even if we got all lower classes to get along there would still be oppression from the top down which is where it is the hardest to deal with.
You must understand that Marx wanted most minorities to put their struggle second to the overall cause of economic equality through socialism. The problem with this is that, it isn't in most mens heart to put aside a battle they've been fighting all their life.

Default Why hasn't it had a chance to shine?

Because anarchists have never collectively accomplished a (*)(*)(*)(*)ed thing.

Anarchism is the politics of the young and the chronically idealistic/undereducated.

Default Please, point me to an example, on any wide scale at all

of the shining accomplishments of anarchism...it's a pipe dream, nothing more.

Completely impractical in reality.

And, insofar as your claims of racism being connected to social darwinism, bear in mind that the concept of race existed LONG BEFORE Darwin ever lived, as in thousands of years before.

Default Actually, Catz...

...despite my lack of support for anarchism (it's a (*)(*)(*)(*) good ideal, but I'm a firm pragmatist), there have been several times when anarchists got together with good results. The best example of this is during the Spanish Civil War, where anarchist societies numbering in the thousands existed peacefully, crime free, and effectively. I recommend George Orwell's book "Homage to Catalonia". However, that is the biggest problem with anarchism - everyone in an anarchist society has to actually be an anarchist.

Other good examples of Anarchists working together, and getting things done, or trying to but failing due to opposition from the government, are the Paris Commune, the Kronstadt Rebellion, and the popular uprising in France in May of 1968.
