[...] even anti-racist organisations that do not define themselves as anti-capitalist should be supported by the Left, for a very specific reason: I think that anti-capitalism is not about statements, but about what you are really struggling against. [...] we cannot evaluate movements like Black Lives Matter (BLM) only through their relationship to the class struggle and to anti-capitalism. BLM involves various tendencies, some anti-capitalist, some not; but, frankly, what is at issue not only a group's rhetoric and organising around class - important as they are - but how they relate to the fact, that can't be ignored, of the huge role that racism plays in the accumulation of capital and, more broadly, in capitalism. As such, radical struggles against racism - whether from within or from outside the workers' movement - play an important role in the general struggle against capitalism, as well in the rise of class consciousness.
