"No, Trotsky did not ‘invent’ the word ‘racist or racism’.
However, Trotsky certainly popularized the word(s) and made ‘liberal’ use of them in his two-volumed book ‘History of the Russian Revolution’.
Perhaps more to the point here is that Trotsky was among the very first to ‘leverage’ the word ‘racist’ and his smearing definition or concept of it as useful means to his own political ends, which was not limited to but included fomenting dissent and sparking divison amongst the populations.
Trotsky was one of the first to ‘weaponize’ the word ‘racist’, using it (s) as propaganda; as tool"
Leon Trotsky and the Black struggle
https://socialistworker.org/2012/07/...black-struggle
In his 1933 discussion with his American comrades on the "Black Belt Question," Trotsky restated the Bolshevik position on national liberation: "We, of course, do not obligate Blacks to become a nation: whether they are is a question of their consciousness. That is, what they desire and what they strive for. We say: if the Blacks want that (self-determination), then we must fight against imperialism to the last drop of blood, so that they have the right wherever and however they please to separate a piece of land."
100 years later, Bolshevism is back. And we should be worried.

"Leon Trotsky had escaped from Siberian exile was to be found in Viennese coffee shops; when the revolution broke out, he was showing off his glittering brilliance at socialist meeting halls in New York."
"Finally, and most painfully, there is a hint, and sometimes more than a hint, of a reviving appreciation among the neo-Bolsheviks for the cleansing possibilities of violence. The violent poetry of 1917 has morphed into the violent memes of 2017, the "Ultra Violence" threads on Reddit, the white nationalist groups seeking "race war," and the NRA videos urging Americans to arm themselves for the coming apocalyptic struggle to "save our country." Some of this dangerous trash has been around for a long time: far-right and far-left extremists in Europe have always savored the idea of violence. But now some of that nihilistic desire for disaster has become mainstream, even reaching the White House. As long ago as 2014, Trump, after railing against Obamacare, fantasized: "You know what solves it? When the economy crashes, when the country goes to total hell and everything is a disaster. Then you'll have a, you know, you'll have riots to go back to where we used to be when we were great."
Shocking though it is, that sentiment is mild by comparison with Bannon's apocalyptic vision of a coming war — perhaps with Islam, perhaps with China — that will cleanse the Western world of weakness and restore Western greatness. This is how Bannon put it in 2010: "We're gonna have to have some dark days before we get to the blue sky of morning again in America. We are going to have to take some massive pain. Anybody who thinks we don't have to take pain is, I believe, fooling you."
I don't think Trump was fantasizing. He was telling the truth. What happens after the socialists/contaminated Liberals hit rock bottom?
Words Have Lost Their Common Meaning
https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/ar...nguage/618461/
"The word racism, among others, has become maddeningly confusing in current usage."
"Two real-world examples of strained usage come to mind. Opponents of the modern filibuster have taken to calling it “racist” because it has been used for racist ends. This implies a kind of contamination, a rather unsophisticated perspective given that this “racist” practice has been readily supported by noted non-racists such as Barack Obama (before he changed his mind on the matter). Similar is the idea that standardized tests are “racist” because Black kids often don’t do as well on them as white kids. If the tests’ content is biased toward knowledge that white kids are more likely to have, that complaint may be justified. Otherwise, factors beyond the tests themselves, such as literacy in the home, whether children are tested throughout childhood, how plugged in their parents are to test-prep opportunities, and subtle attitudes toward school and the printed page, likely explain why some groups might be less prepared to excel at them."
Only white people can be racist: Inside Global Affairs' anti-racism course materials
https://nationalpost.com/news/canada...urse-materials
These new course materials explicitly cite as their inspiration “critical race theory,” a growing movement which posits that Western society is immutably tainted by white supremacy, and must be confronted and managed by conscious “antiracist” thinking and policies.
Unlike the anti-discrimination movements of the past — which sought only equal opportunity untainted by prejudice — critical race theorists hold that government and society is so immutably slanted towards white people that ignoring race is itself an act of white supremacy designed to maintain an inequitable status quo. Or, as a protest sign included in the Global Affairs materials put it, “if you aren’t an antiracist, you are complicit.”
'Life, Liberty & Levin' on Marxism in America, critical race theory infiltrating military
https://www.foxnews.com/transcript/l...ating-military
Critical race theory is not about learning the history of America. It's not about learning slavery and segregation. It's not about learning about neo- Nazis and the Klan. It's about a Marxist movement invented by Marxists -- Herbert Marcuse, Derrick Bell, and many, many others, and it attracts the Marxists like Black Lives Matter founders, two of three who have already said that they are Marxists, and that's not a coincidence, because this was hatched by professors as a way to attack the society from a Marxist perspective.
What you get from all of this is a consolidation of power in Washington.
Like Manning Johnson said, all you need is charity. Charity = love.
1 Timothy 1:5
Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:
Romans 13:10
Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
