The problem is that White racism remains unchallenged in its depth by the dialectic of Marxist-Leninism – which if it was permitted to be unleashed fully – would totally uproot this last bastion of Eurocentric chauvinism. This is why Maoism remains so important for both truly progressive Whites and non-Whites together. In the thought processes of Mao Zedong there is a saving “Internationalism” that develops Marxist-Leninism to its ultimate conclusion. Until racism on the left is firmly dealt with – non-White (and progressive Whites) will be “alienated” by the very Communist ideology that is designed to save them. Finally, Davies mentions that there are “Black” alternative versions of how the carnival began – linking it to non-Communist migrants of the Windrush Generation. Even here we can see the watering-down of the “Communist” inspiration. This reminds me of how bourgeois leftists align themselves with the “Internationalist” working-class effort during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) – which was armed and financed by the USSR – whilst simultaneously claiming that “Communist” ideology had little (or nothing) to do with the world-wide opposition to fascism.
