Who first used the term ‘racist’? Correct it was a Communist!

It seems that the term “racist” has been used to denigrate those who disagree with another’s politics. But who first used the term “racist”?

The first use of the term “racist”, or “расист” in Russian, was Leon Trotsky in Volume 1 of his book Especially Development of Russia. Trotsky wrote,

Slavicophilism, the messianism of backwardness, built its philosophy on, that the Russian people and their church are still democratic, and the official Russia is a German bureaucracy planted by Peter. Marx noticed by this: “After all, in the same way, the Teutonic donkeys dump despotism Frederick II, etc., on the French, as if backward slaves do not need always in civilized slaves to go through the right training”. This is short the remark is completely exhausted not only by the old philosophy of Slavophiles, but also the latest revelations of the “racists”.

From March 1918 to January 1925, Trotsky headed the Red Army as People’s Commissar for Military and Naval Affairs and played a vital role in the Bolshevik victory in the Russian Civil War of 1917–1922. He became one of the seven members of the first Bolshevik Politburo in 1919.

According to the World Socialist Web Site,

Leon Trotsky (1879-1940) was, alongside Vladimir Lenin, the greatest revolutionary leader of the 20th century.

Trotsky and Lenin led the Bolshevik Party and the Russian working class in the 1917 October Revolution, which established the first workers state in human history. In 1923, Trotsky founded the Left Opposition to oppose the growth of a nationalist bureaucracy, headed by Joseph Stalin, as it usurped power in the Soviet Union. In 1933, following the coming to power of the Nazis in Germany, facilitated by the disastrous policies of the Comintern that Trotsky had opposed, Trotsky called for the founding of the Fourth International to carry forward the fight for Marxism against the Stalinist degeneration of the Soviet Union and the Third International.

Two years after the founding of the Fourth International in 1938, Trotsky was assassinated at the hands of a Stalinist agent, Ramón Mercader, in Coyoacán, Mexico. His assassination was the most conscious attempt by Stalinism and world imperialism to decapitate the leadership of the international working class in the midst of the slaughter of World War II.

The Fourth International founded by Trotsky is today led by the International Committee (a.k.a. Democratic Socialists of America), which publishes the World Socialist Web Site. The International Committee of the Fourth International has defended the program and principles of genuine Trotskyism since 1953.

According to VOX Representative Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez is the first member of Congress who is also a member of the Democratic Socialists of America.

Jeff Stein wrote about the Democratic Socialists of America in 2017 reporting,

What does DSA believe in?

Like most socialist organizations, DSA believes in the abolition of capitalism in favor of an economy run either by “the workers” or the state — though the exact specifics of “abolishing capitalism” are fiercely debated by socialists.

[ … ]

In practice, that means DSA [members advocate] ending private ownership of a wide range of industries whose products are viewed as “necessities,” which they say should not be left to those seeking to turn a profit. According to the DSA’s current mission statement, the government should ensure that all citizens receive adequate food, housing, health care, child care, and education. DSA also believes that the government should “democratize” private businesses — i.e., force owners to give workers control of them — to the greatest extent possible.

But DSA members also say that overthrowing capitalism must include the eradication of “hierarchical systems” that lie beyond the market as well. As a result, DSA supports the missions of Black Lives Matter, gay and lesbian rights, and environmentalism as integral parts of this broader “anti-capitalist” program.

Slavicophilism, those who believe in the universal right to work, is the enemy of those who use the word “racist”.

To these Democrat Socials everything is caused by racism from climate change to the free market system, to the creation of the U.S. Constitution, to the founding fathers to anyone who is white, straight, male, female and a Christian or Jew.

Racist has become the hammer with which to destroy your enemies one by one until the day that the totalitarian state, like the failed USSR, prevails.

So whenever you hear someone use the word “racist” understand that they are, for all intensive purposes, a died in the wool Communist.

    Reasons for the race card:

    1. Liberals yearn to relive the Civil Rights movement of the ’60s. It was the last time they ever did anything actually righteous, thus reliving those heady days makes them feel good. During those times, liberals stood up against dumb, ignorant, inbred, knuckle-dragging rednecks who made themselves the epitome of all evil. (Actually, they didn’t stand up to them. They just let themselves get beat up by them in order to gain sympathy.) Thus, they seize on any pretext to recast their current opponents as KKK-type rednecks.

    2. Postmodernism has elevated culture to the level of race. A Westerner criticizing a Third World culture is comparable to a white person denouncing non-whites. Thus when confronting Moslem culture that fosters dictatorship, terrorism, female genital mutilations, honor killings, child marriages, slavery, legalized wifebeatings, etc. liberal disapproval falls, not on Moslem culture, but one those who’d criticize Moslem culture, accusing such critics of hate, intolerance, bigotry, xenophobia, Islamophobia and, of course, racism.

    3. Liberals having been on a leftward trek for the past six/seven decades show all the signs of finally catching up to their far-left brethren. They have adopted the leftist policy of referring to those right of Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Kim Jong Un, as fascist, Nazi and, of course, racist.

    Yes and the teaching of Marxist Critical Race Theory in our universities, high schools and even our military are further examples of how hate is being spread especially against the white society. .
    False Principles of CRT:
    1. The USA practices systemic racism.
    2. There are no ultimate truths.
    3. There are only two classes of people – the oppressed and the oppressors and white people are the oppressors.

    Same with DEI – Diversity, Equity and Inclusion which is just a synonym for CRT.
