Hat tip to Stuart Jeanne Bramhall / see her piece: Redneck Revolt Builds Anti-Racist, Anti-Capitalist Movement With Working Class Whites
From the “Principles” page of the Redneck Revolt website:
Organizing Principles:
The history of the white working class is one full of resistance, collectively and individually, against the rich elite that hold power over all of our lives. From massive armed uprisings like the Battle of Blair Mountain in 1921, to the resistance to coal mining in predominately white rural Appalachia today, white working people have been in conflict with those that uphold predatory economic, political, and social systems.
The history of the white working class is also one filled with collaboration with those same rich elite power holders. White working people have played the role of foot soldiers for the political and economic elite, participating in genocide and the enslavement of other peoples, and overall protectors of the ruling class. White working class participation in state and paramilitary organizations and formations like the Ku Klux Klan, the Minutemen, the U.S. Armed Forces, and the Council of Conservative Citizens has undermined the struggle for freedom among all people.
It is with these conflicting histories in mind that we hope to incite a movement amongst white working people that works toward the total liberation of all working people, regardless of skin color, religious background, sexual orientation, gender identity, nationality, or any other division that bosses and politicians have used to fragment movements for social, political, and economic freedom.
Read the rest of the Redneck Revolt‘s website statement of “Principles”. Who knows, if you are American and are tired of the same old scene, maybe you will want to get involved at the level of your own community.

If I were an American I would definitely be interested in joining! Here in Britain we have Jeremy Corbyn who will not tolerate any forms of racism or the corporate/capitalist thieves.
