Anyway, the traditional socialist view has been that racism is and has historically been utilized within capitalism as a divide-and-conquer tactic: promote in-fighting within the working class as a means to break down unions and social resistance. And it's also been used to justify the provision of cheap or even free labor. If that's the case, then it's difficult to see how one could reconcile that with the conclusion of this paper. I don't think that this paper refutes that idea, but it is arguing against it, and I do not consider that a settled argument. That socialist story makes sense, but I feel like the way most socialists employ it is overdetermined.
