The Leading Civilization in “Segregation”

Whenever European powers have had to deal with rebel subjects in their colonies and ended up taking arms and pitchforks, Puritan America has routinely intervened to dissociate itself from any culpability for the repressive actions of those otherwise allied states.

We know real well that the non‑interference of the US in colonial uprisings and wars, which has been meticulously reaffirmed by the Congress and the Government, aims exclusively at encouraging, without seeming so, the progressive erosion of the existing colonial empires and undermining what matters the most which is their commercial and financial areas.

For dollar’s greater glory, the Wall Street imperialists are altruistically willing to lose every possession of the European colonialists until the very last.

But from an ideological standpoint, where the coarse interests of profiteering become “ideal”, the programmatic anti‑colonialism of the American bourgeoisie is covered in noble, theoretical mantles.

It lies on the lying principle that the US, the “land of the free” praised by Prezzolini, is, organically, an enemy of the domination of a country over another country, of a race over another race deemed inferior.

The American social reality proves that the worst colonial domination that exists today in the world is practiced inside the borders of the State that is the leader of the “free world”, the most civilized country on the planet.

Undoubtedly, the vile subjugation millions of black Americans are held in – it goes without saying that we were alluding to them – exceeds the overtly colonial regimes in harshness and vehement brutality.

For sure, the conditions of inferiority of black Americans are more severe than the ones enforced to the most primitive among those colonial populations still living in wild or barbaric conditions, that of the capitalist civilization only know the painful yoke of economic exploitation.

The Dayaks of the Borneo, the Pygmies of Congo’s forests, the Kanaks of the Oceanic archipelagos that to this day live on the edge of civilization have to intensively fight against the physical world in order to survive, given the very conditions of their own existence.

But they are too distant from the “civilization” of the whites to know its infamies.

Black workers in the US, on the other end, that are born and grow up in the middle of civilization – built on the sweat of slaves – not only have to go through the suffering that the repugnant form of oppression and social exploitation that is wage labour causes – therefore, the living conditions of workers are on their own worse than the ones of the savages in the virgin forests – but they also have to withstand the not less reprehensible persecution that is “segregation”.

“Segregation” is the American equivalent to Hitler’s racism.

What are we saying!?

The racists of the exasperated German bourgeoisie, the Hitlerian theorists such as Rosenberg, the nauseating preachers of racial hatred such as Streicher and the very instigators of the anti‑jewish “pogroms” that caused bloodsheds in the the ghettos of the zarist Russia up to forty years ago were all, at their times, nothing but bumbling imitators of American racists.

Let’s hand to Americans, namely the American bourgeois, their rightful records.

The Ku Klux Klan, the secret society whose rituals are as imbecile as brutal, that started to terrorize blacks right after the end of the Civil War and to this day conducts a semi‑legal existence, is not second to any similar organization both in age and fanatic inflexibility.

While the Hitlerian S.S. hung jews by their throat on iron hooks, that was still a less excruciating death than the tar and feathers torture to which the KKK’s henchmen subjected those blacks who rebelled against white supremacy.

In the US, racial discrimination against black people is indeed called segregation.

American racism doesn’t go as far as confining fifteen millions blacks in obligatory houses in the likes of the medieval ghettos but black neighborhoods in New York and Chicago have honorably preserved those features of overpopulation and filthiness.

But American racism goes even further to an extent as it negates blacks the access to public places, transportation, theatres attended by whites.

It imprisons black people in one huge ghetto with invisible bars.

Those who try to escape end up in jail as that is indeed what happens in the Southern States where racial discrimination, the “segregation”, is decreed in law.

Without a doubt, out of all the living conditions that capitalism forces upon the populations of colour, black Americans have it the hardest.

In the equatorial forest, a savage has to fear the bite of venomous snakes or the claws of felines but he ignores the abuses of segregation.

To live that experience he should apply and then obtain the American citizenship.

In a globe dominated by capitalism, the areas of abuse and oppression actually coincide with the lavish, “civilized” metropolises.

Some weeks ago, the Supreme Court of the US, that is composed of nine members one of which was affiliated with the KKK in his youth, at the request of a group of black people, has decided to declare segregation in schools as unconstitutional.

The American constitution grants black people the right to school education but political prejudice and social custom do not allow white and black students to sit behind the same school desk.

The Supreme Court’s ruling puts to end, in principle, social discrimination in schools.

But in order for that ruling, granted by the higher powers, to be applied years upon years will pass and that is assuming that the ruling itself won’t be just left in the limbo of ideological enunciations.

And even if segregation in schools would cease to exist today, that won’t cancel the infamies of the American capitalist bourgeoisie that wants to rule the entire world in the name of the “undying principles” of freedom and equality while treating black people the way the most ferocious colonialists of old Europe never dared to.
