The feud this is part of is one of the funniest things I've seen in 2020. No one would even have noticed the open letter without this response, which is badly enough thought out that it levels the playing field between a real movement with big authority and some fledgling collectives. I mean it made CPP look like its main point of reference in the US is something like CPUSA, which caused a bunch of confusion with the ppl that idolize them, 99% of whom completely disagree with CPUSA.

the main thinker behind it posits that the main driver of society and material conditions isn't capitalist accumulation, but anti-blackness heavily anchored to the legacy of the trans-atlantic slave trade, it's completely bugshit and everyone trying to prop it up is, at best, insanely misguided

THE SEXUAL DESIRE ECONOMY CREATED BY WHITE EUROPEANS AND INDIGENOUS AMERICANS

quote:


In the debate that ensued, juju jones, a blogger, invoked Frank Wilderson ‘on ahistorical comparisons between Black struggle & the fight to free Palestine’.[21] Commenting on comparisons between the plight of Palestinians and Afro-Americans, Wilderson says, ‘That’s just bullshit. First, there’s no time period in which Black police and slave domination have ever ended. Second, the Arabs and the Jews are as much a part of the Black slave trade – the creation of Blackness as social death – as anyone else.’[22]

‘As I told a friend of mine, “yeah we’re going to help you get rid of Israel, but the moment that you set up your poo poo we’re going to be right there to jack you up, because anti-Blackness is as important and necessary to the formation of Arab psychic life as it is to the formation of Jewish psychic life.” … we know, once they get over [their own hurdles], the anti-Blackness that sustains them will rear its ugly head again against us. So that we don’t fall into a sort of genuine bonding with people who are really, primarily, using Black energy to catalyze and energize their struggle.’[23]

Like Marxism, Black Consciousness was also hobbled in an essential way. Fundamental to Marxism is the notion that the world is unethical due to its subsumption by relations of capital. What we learn from Fanon and others is that the world is unethical due to its subsumption by the slave relation.

— Frank B. Wilderson III[25]

anyway, right now it's kind of a meme ideology/framework, but it's gaining traction, at least enough that someone wrote a pretty brutal takedown effort essay of it. as someone who just enjoys scratching my head in wonder at niche ideology this is certainly one of them! the first tweet i posted with someone grandiosely proclaiming a pretty fundamental, observable facet of material reality to be "obsolete and limited" (Engel's concept of "social murder") was a real groin grabber

Like I do every year, I posted an essay denouncing the holiday on Facebook. I am never rewarded for it with attention or really enthusiastic agreement. Not should I be, for I do it as an act of venting frustration.

But like clockwork, I do it every year.
