    Successful in their aims.

    What on earth makes you think I was referring to “white people” getting involved in non-white struggle??? Modern American race politics is meaningless in the context of the last thousand years of historical change.

    I recommend you get yourself a copy of, say, The People’s History of the World and read up on social change in ancient Rome, the French Revolution, the Russian Revolution, the Caliphates etc.

    What I am talking about is simply a matter of historical record.

    A specifically non-white non-western example I can give you off the top of my head is the importance of the involvement of warrior caste people like Adbaraya Toya in the Haitian revolution.

      Leave it to the white man to dismiss the impact of their parasitic race on the entirety of the world as “modern American race politics”. Oh, how I would love to have the privilege to afford to be as uneducated as you. Do you just namedrop shit you have no knowledge of or have you looked at the fallout of your stupid examples? Hint: Oligarchy.
