But they also oppress their people, through racial oppression and, for example, the denial of basic human rights of people from semi-colonies who seek work in imperialist countries. These are direct products of social oppression, direct products of the capitalist free market which requires such oppression. They are not historical accidents or quirks of fate. Marxists support all struggles against oppression, whoever wages them. But for us, oppression is not just about bad laws and discrimination.
Oppression is a fundamental, necessary part of capitalism, and can only be destroyed along with it.
And workers have the power to achieve that goal.
