Summary

Eve and Dianne join Breht to discuss the relationship between white supremacy and wage labor.

This is the fifth installment in our ongoing collaboration with Unity and Struggle. This Rev Left mini-series will trace and engage with the development of Unity and Struggle's systematic study of race through the lens of historical and dialectical materialism.
