Marxism today replaces class with race.

The self-avowed Marxists who founded Black Lives Matter have replaced Joseph Stalin’s “What is his class?” with “What is his race?” today. As Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn wrote:

The theoretical view of the suspect’s guilt was, incidentally, quite elastic from the very beginning. In his instructions on the use of Red Terror, the Chekist M. I. Latsis wrote: “In the interrogation do not seek evidence and proof that the person accused acted in word or deed against Soviet power. The first questions should be: What is his class, what is his origin, what is his education and upbringing? (There is your Sapropelite Committee for you!) These are the questions which must determine the fate of the accused.”
