→The New Abolitionism
The “White Skin Privilege” idea was created in 1967 by Noel Ignatiev, an acolyte of Derrick Bell and professor at Harvard’s W.E.B. Du Bois Institute. Ignatiev was a member of the [[Communist Party USA]]’s most radical wing, the Provisional Organizing Committee to Reconstitute the Marxist-Leninist Communist Party from 1958–66. The Provisional Organizing Committee was the intellectual forerunner to the [[Freedom Road Socialist Organization]], a [[Vanguardism|vanguard]] group. Writing under the alias Noel Ignatin, Ignatiev co-authored a [[Students for a Democratic Society]] (SDS) pamphlet with fellow radical Ted Allen titled, ''White Blindspot''. In 1992 he co-founded ''Race Traitor: Journal of the New Abolitionism''. Its first issue coined the slogan “Treason to whiteness is loyalty to humanity.” Its stated objective was to “abolish the white race.” More specifically, the ''New Abolitionist'' newsletter declared:

===Rectification and self examination===
:{{See also|Maoism|Rectification|}}
The concept of white privilege has been compared to the Maoist [[rectification movement]], which is described as "the largest, darkest, and most ferocious power game ever played out in the human world. In the name of 'cleansing [[petty bourgeoisie]] toxins,' the Party washed away morality, independence of thought, freedom of action, tolerance, and dignity. "
White privilege is a "petty bourgeoisie toxin" in socialist parlance. ''The Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party'' describes the process of rectification and its results:
{{quotebox|"in evaluating their own consciousness, people were required to scrutinize whether they had been concerned about their self-interest, whether they had used work for the Party to reach personal goals, whether they had wavered in trust in the [[revolution]]ary future, whether they had feared death during battles, and whether they had missed spouses and family members after joining the Party or the army. There were no objective standards, so nearly everyone was found to have problems....
Humiliation became a fact of life—it was either humiliate other comrades or humiliate oneself. People were pushed to the brink of insanity, having been forced to abandon their dignity, sense of honor or shame, and love for one another to save their own lives and their own jobs. They ceased to express their own opinions and recited Party leaders’ articles instead.<ref>http://www.ninecommentaries.com/english-2</ref>}}
This Maoist rectification was openly used against public officials and private citizens on the street during the [[2020 Leftist insurrection]].<ref>https://youtu.be/eACIjK36mek</ref>
