A LUCID EXPANSiON ON MY EARLIER POST AND IPSO FACTO THROWiNG A GAUNLET TO ThE REAL MARXISTS TO PLEASE STAND UP!! Lavittude Ramphomane If one painstakingly problematizes Marxism at its nascent conceptualization, one is left with one of two unsettling conclusions: Marxism is either inherently anti-black or its fathers deemed the black ontological alienation negligible. One realizes that Marx and Engels conceptualized their theory, which they assert as the decisive antagonism - that is to say the ultimate answer to mankinds most disorienting questions - at the height of the Black Holocaust and slavery. What kind of a revolutionary theorist who purports to offer the ultimate antogonism to address mankinds needs (and by extension a polity which seeks to harmonize human relations across the globe) while being ignorant of Black suffering? What is pellucid, however, is that in the assumptive logic of Marx and his ideological neophytes and progenitors, the black subaltern is templated as a lesser human being. Accordingly, Marxism addresses human conflicts like gender and economic relations at the disavowal of human antagonisms like chattel slavery, black genocide ,black social death, and in a word, black ontological disarticulation (rather than political, historical and economical disarticulation.) In conclusion, as I asserted earlier on, Marxism appears as a white supremacist intervention geared toward deviating us from the essence of our subalternity. Biko identified this, stuck tenaciously by his findings and paid with his life! Food for thought...
