I watched a Red Nation video and the host, Elena Ortiz, checked all the liberal boxes. She is an example extraordinaire of how reactionary, how corrupting, how pernicious, the race myth is. Painfully, oh so lugubriously, does she relate the death of the state-mandated, racially discriminatory practice euphemized as Affirmative Action. So successfully has the ruling class entrenched race in all socio-political issues, events, debates, discourse, everything, that this woman struggles even to relay the details. Race-broke, she cannot present the news without long, mournful pauses accompanied by eye rolls, grimaces and slow, anguished shaking of her head. One might of thought racism was being instituted rather than eliminated.
Her case is pure, empire-friendly, liberal patter, undiluted nonsense.
Seldom do we see the bankruptcy of liberalism so conspicuously on display. The wholly reactionary effect of the moribund, post-modernist, post-colonial program slithers here into the light. The host, Elena Ortiz, no doubt sees herself as an anti-imperialist and an anti-racist, but, paraphrasing Marx, the tradition of all the false discourse of dead generations weighs like a nightmare upon her brain. She's been injected with the counterrevolutionary toxin of race. This woman is confused, and in precisely that way as is intended. EO is the victim of what nowadays passes as anti-racism and laments "We are not facing the pervasive issues of race in this country." She is correct, but not in the way she imagines. What EO fails to perceive is that she is chasing the wrong dragon. She is not an anti-racist, but a purveyor of that viral, ubiquitous form of racism which masquerades as anti-racism. Her racialized mindset is a product of a capital-sponsored offensive to establish the supremacy of race in public discourse. EO is now a soldier in the class war, but she's in the wrong camp. She thinks she's fighting racism when in reality she's fertilizing it.
