The abstraction of Marx’s ideas after his death does suffer from poor naming. If the author is American, then likely agrees how it’s seen at continent scale among Afrikaners from South Africa. At smaller scales, down to the personal, it falls apart and explains nothing. Smartphone dating apps, for instance.

Same thing for "systemic racism." I told people it's totally a real problem, but for crying out loud, don't shoot yourself in the foot but calling it that. Only the most open-minded 1% or fewer will cop to their own imperfection/racism. And we can see how the results have been a failure concordant with our country (usa)'s widescale partisan breakdown.
Like a dog farting in an elevator, nobody wants it. Except perhaps the accusators who are willing, it seems, to create more heat than light with revelation accusation.

You can easily prove systemic racism exists by confessing your own racist beliefs. If you don’t have any then systemic racism might not exist.
