    Don’t know of anyone that says people are personally racist because of capitalism so you’re misconstruing that if you think that’s what people are talking about when they say racism emerges from capitalism

    Systems are made up of individuals though

    It also goes the other way around, racism supports capitalism.

    Overthrowing capitalism is one of thr necessary steps that needs to be taken to get rid of racism, but it won't magically disappear when there are no more private enterprises obviously.

    I'm aware systemic and individual racism is different but I dont see how individual racism wont just express itself through other destructive means without capitalism

    We can end private ownership of property, inherited wealth etc, racial animosity which is ultimately born in the individual, because the individual is powerful will re manifest itself and divide even the perfect communistic society

    Of course not but capitalism isnt necessarily what creates the system

    The individuals who hate or have prejudice will reproduce the system, getting rid of capitalism is just gonna make it manifest elsewhere

    So correct me if I'm wrong but you think systemic racism is an inherent function of capitalism? And that without capitalism racism would cease to be systemic? Maybe I'm being slow but this seems like what you're implying, I could have misunderstood dont get me wrong

    A capitalist would respond that racism prevents people maximising their potential as a result of prejudice keeping them down, and that systemic racism is a societal reproduction of an individual flaw

    I do believe systemic racism is inherent to capitalism because of the intrinsic idea of profiting from workers generated value.

    In a socialist or communist system, systemic racism could possibly cease to exist. It might not, but it’s at least not inherent to the system

    people def confuse ideas of conceptual racism with societal racism. people think certain ideas of racism (which under liberalism are deemed "systematic racism") would disappear under socialism because of industry being sanctioned in a manner in which there are no systematic factors of differentiation, hence there is no systematic difference in treatment in theory. people who think it would disappear under communism similarly think that in an individualist system the concept of guaranteed fruits of labor means there would be no arbitrary infringement by others meaning no systematic factors. anyone who thinks conceptual racism - the idea of people just tribally hating others - would disappear under either have no idea what socialist or communist theory actually is.

    This post pretty much sums up the leftist line of thinking but OP just ignored it for some reason

    Alright well guess thered no shaking that belief. I personally believe racism isnt in anyone's best interest long term and is a defevtive behaviour, and that racism ultimately prevents humanity being it's best by preventing minorities and victims reaching their full potential

    Uh yeah it's almost like capitalism gets people to act outside of their interests
