everyone reblogging those pictures of the confederate flag burning with a bunch of people surrounding it in Florida need to be cognizant of how Tallahasee SDS and Trans Liberation Front, two of the groups that organized it, are actively implicated in a rape cover-up through their association with Freedom Road Socialist Organization-Fightback. members of FRSO-Fightback have been accused of abuse and numerous instances of blatant misogyny by several people. FRSO-Fightback have failed to publicly address these allegations whatsoever even after consistent and continuous questioning through their various social media outlets. most people who’ve questioned them about it, myself included, have been blocked and/or banned from pages run by members of theirs, including the SDS national Facebook page. I’m a member of SDS at UT Arlington, and I other current and former members of other SDS chapters across the country have tried for over two years now to get FRSO address these allegations, but most of us have been with either hostility and/or unresponsiveness.

here’s their Facebook page. if you can, leave them a comment on their wall or on one of their images asking them to address these allegations.

and the Iraqi people welcomed the Americans with flowers. I wanted to set a historical event to teach Bush a lesson from the Iraqis, telling him you lied, we did not welcome you with flowers, and instead we are saying goodbye with our shoes.”

The major critique of liberalism is that it constructs an image of society as fair and egalitarian where individuals rise and fall based on their own merits. Liberalism presents society as a meritocracy where individual actors compete on a level playing field. Liberalism sees inequality as a natural product of fair competition. Liberalism refuses to examine the structural causes of inequality (such as capitalism, racism, and patriarchy) that CRT scholars highlight. Liberalism’s emphasis on individual rights precludes any consideration of special protections under the law for minority groups. In fact, liberalism rejects any consideration of the structural rather than natural or individual causes of inequality because it might lead to the transformation of unequal power relations (Daniels 2008), a prospect feared by those in power. Ultimately, the liberal perspective fails to consider the multiple power relationships that give some individuals much greater advantage over others, and that allow some people to be freer than others. From the very beginning, liberal societies were constructed along the status lines of class, race, gender, and citizenship. In America, Blacks and indigenous people were denied even the most basic human rights. Women were relegated to second class status and denied the rights of citizenship. Birthrights, not human rights, protected only those privileged enough to be born white, landowning males. As a society, we have never practiced justice and liberty for all. Liberal societies use the slogans of equality to benefit an exclusive, privileged group. And while over the years liberal societies have extended legal and political rights to a greater number of people, they have never addressed the fundamental material inequality passed down through generations of modern capitalist development. From the very beginning, then, the ideal of equality in the abstract has been celebrated within a broader context of concrete inequality.
