    Makes sense. Publishers are corporations that thrive in capitalism. Racially divisive material sells and doesn’t threaten their profits. Material that threatens the system that enables their profits threatens them.

    I’d be more wary of a corporation that was gung ho on publishing anti capitalist material and I would look to see if they were finding a way to sabotage them movement through it.

    I would rather people were pro-creation-of-something, rather than destroy something that works, even if poorly, without really suggesting the alternative.

      I’d say how humans have lived for tens of thousands of years before the last ~2 centuries, minus obviously kings and priests. I think it’s historically proved that it works, literally for millenia on after the other

        One of the things you learn in anthro is how many different societal structures have existed “successfully” in human history. Successfully is obviously relative as I don’t think anyone today could even imagine life before… the 1900s probably. “People in the past aren’t just us in different clothes” after all.
