The Racism of For-Profit Capitalist Exploitation | Bite Sized Episode
Description
Marx’s analysis does not specifically take into account the history of the exploitation of women and non-white people. We will be digging into some of the ways that racism, sexism, and xenophobia play into the perpetuation of capitalism. Today we look at racism as we venture into the Haiti Revolution, Slavery, and the 13th Amendment's loophole allowing modern-day slavery to occur. Join us in part 6 of this Enchantments of Mammon series: The Racism of For-Profit Capitalist Exploitation.

“The Black Panther” newspaper is back in print after three decades. This was the official publication of the Black Panther Party which ran for 13 years between 1967 and 1980, producing a total of 537 issues.
