Whoa, that’s quite the leap of saying that in order to seek self esteem, left wing politics sought to eliminate structural injustices created by the self preservation forces of a capitalistic model.. if historical repression of black Americans caused structural issues that make their advancement in a capitalistic society more difficult, and policies were to be directed towards curbing that effect towards a fairer and more equitable system, how is that a pursuit of self esteem of black Americans rather than purely a policy of ensuring equal access to the benefits of capitalism?
