Race War or Class Warfare?

In the last 24 hours or so, I’ve seen both Tucker Carlson and Gary DeMar argue that what is going on in America is not about a Racial divide but rather is about class warfare. I view this as a false dichotomy. It can be both a race war and class warfare. Clearly, as the Cultural Marxists advocated long ago, Minorities have been recruited to be the new proletariat in their neo-Marxist scheme. However, combined with majority swaths of minorities we also find white perverts, feminists, academics, and Talmudists. This combination allows enough white people in that it can be argued that this isn’t really about race. However, that is not accurate. The White people described, as part of the new proletariat, have the same interests as the minority element in this new proletariat coalition. Indeed, one could easily argue that the white element are themselves what was once called vanilla oreos — they are white on the outside but chocolate in the creme filling. So, the current Revolution does remain a matter of race.

However, that being said, it is clearly at the same time a matter of class warfare. The mega-Corportists are using the new proletariat to make war on America’s middle class with the goal of eliminating the middle class so that we have a have and have not society. The irony of this is found in that many in the Revolutionary new proletariat vanguard will end up remaining among the have nots so that the Revolution they are chanting and rioting for will not advance their economic standing one whit.

We can see all this as existing in the base of each party. The Democrats are appealing to both the minority base while at the same time being bankrolled by the mega-Corporatist of Silicon Valley, Hollywood, and Wall Street.
The Republican party in the meantime is appealing to white voters and is hearkening to middle class issues (Payroll Tax cuts, Law & Order, America First, etc.).

So, what we see brewing here is the worst of all storms. The Revolution in our streets is both a race war and the pursuit of class warfare and anybody who tells you it is one to the neglect of the other just hasn’t pondered long enough on the matter.
