A serious student of Marxist rhetoric needs to keep current on the language and idioms used as well as the target masses. So while conservative websites headline "SCOTUS strike down Affirmative Action", Marxist sites say, "US Supreme Court Recertifies Capitalism’s Need for Racism". [https://countercurrents.org/2023/07/us-supreme-court-recertifies-capitalisms-need-for-racism/]  "Re-certify" should be a clue. While the rest is ancient rhetoric ("racism", "capitalism") "Recertification" means they still have to tear the whole rotten structure down, including SCOTUS. They have not abandoned or walked away from their principles. They may have softened their rhetoric or spoke in other coded language, but this is notification that Marxism is back to square one. The only question is the size of the audience. So now you need to pay attention to who and what "comes out of the closet" and builds on the rhetoric, i.e. that ending affirmative action is "capitalist".

Personally, I doubt they will have many takers, but on its face it also reveals how deeply engrained communism is in the Black Church. I doubt it will expand much from there. But it also serves notice to us, conservatives, that we must revisit our understanding of what capitalism is. The capitalism of today is not the capitalism of Ronald Reagan that defeated the Soviet Union. We must strengthen and deepen the breadth of our own understanding of what capitalism is.
