Subject:      $177 Billion in Profits: Where Do They Come From?


$177 Billion in U.S. corporate profits after taxes in 1987
(Source: Economic Report of the President, January, 1989)

Do the capitalists get these profits from Third World workers and
oppressed minority workers within the United States? Or do white
workers contribute as well?

Judge supposedly socialist groups on whether they even attempt to
answer this question. Do they care? Or do they assume that profits
made from Third World workers should go to European and Amerikan
workers? This question is often left unasked by various "leftist"
groups, but the silence is more important than what they do say.

Most of the Amerikan "Left" thinks the U.S. imperialists exploit
the Third World and oppressed nationalities within U.S. borders
for less than $177 billion a year, and that the rest comes from
white workers. As Lenin would say, what "philistine-opportunism!"

In addition to that $177 billion from exploitation and super-
exploitation of the Third World, are the profits that Amerika
gives to white workers as a hidden subsidy in their paychecks
and benefits.

MIM is a party working for communism that knows that Amerika owes
a huge debt to the exploited of the world. Get the MIM Theory
magazine (new, issue #1 in new format) "A White Proletariat?" for
the facts and calculations on why it is just not possible that
white workers in the United States are exploited.

This is not just the same old stuff. Here is an example of an
issue discussed, which is especially relevant given recent
"Take Back the Night" marches.

The following are government statistics collected by the police and the
Department of Justice.

63% of Black men accused of rape are accused by white women.
(National Crime Survey, 1983, ASI 6066-3, Table 45)

Less than 4% of Black married men are married to white women.
(Statistical Abstract of the United States 1991), pp. 43-4.

MIM estimates that less than 4% of Black men are actually dating
or married to white women based on government statistics. (If you
look around, you'd probably agree.)

Yet, most supposed feminists and anti-rape activists agree that
rape is an acquaintance phenomenon for the most part. So why do
white women accuse Black men at a rate more than 22 times the rate
they accuse white men?

With statistics like these, MIM asks why so many anti-rape groups
support the "get-tough-on-crime" approach just like George Bush
does. The Black Panthers were right that Black people had no
business in white courts. That's not incorrect "separatism;" that
is just common-sense liberation.

What happens when First World women accuse some men of rape but
not others? They accuse the men who do not fit their Hollywood
images of romance, and they join a criminal justice system in
perpetrating nation, class and gender oppression.

Any anti-rape group that does not repudiate the criminal justice system,
which only reinforces both white supremacy and patriarchy, is just another
white supremacist pseudo-feminist organization. Such groups victimize both
Black men and all women seeking an effective answer to the rape problem in
this country.

MIM says all sex is rape because no sex between men and women occurs
outside of the context of inequality between the two genders--a
social inequality women never had a chance to "consent" to.

To eliminate rape in all its forms we must create a revolutionary
movement that will overthrow patriarchy, by among other things
abolishing pornography for profit.

MIM concludes we are not far from the days of lynching. But don't
stop here. Get the MIM Theory issue over 200 pages long with
knotty issues like this. Read it; dig into the sources yourself.
Find out why we look to the Soviet Union, Albania and China for
examples of successful progress in women's liberation and why
we criticize phony feminism as much as phony communism or
cultural nationalism.

Send us your criticisms and agreements. We publish letters in
both our newspaper (for current events) and theory journal (timeless
issues).
