The whole deal with the New Left is their chronic campaign to racialize aspects of the class struggle. Here's a good one from AOC to moderate Democrats:
AOC Claims Foes of ‘Defund Police’ and Socialism Are Engaged in ‘Racial Resentment Attacks’ This is despite the fact that, according to a recent Gallup poll, 81% of Black Americans oppose defunding the police (
Black Americans Want Police to Retain Local Presence). This is in addition to Socialism being overwhelmingly about class oppression and exploitation, with racial oppression being an important issue, but not the central one in most circumstances.
