White is not an ethnicity. Whiteness is cultural as an identity one can assume because they pass as white, which is an identity constructed for subjects who can pass. Passing is not something one need wish to accomplish as it is given by consent of the white supremacist order. Although people have petitioned states for the privilege to pass as white throughout history, those white people who have had to petition for the privilege to pass are always at risk of having the privilege revoked, at any time, and for no reason.
I’m going to quickly address US whiteness in this post. To address it in Europe and UK, I’d have to address other problems such as racist colourblindness, which the left reactionarily embraces as much as the right, these days. Colourblindness is ALWAYS racist. 
In the US, whiteness is the result of a lot of legal construction. (See, White By Law.) Irish, Swedish, Norwegian, German, Polish, et al., aren’t synonymous with white. In much of the 20th C, only white people could become citizens. So, whiteness had to be legally defined and the definition was ambiguous. You could see who was and wasn’t white. However, the legality of seeing whiteness is racist because, looking back, SCOTUS often changed its mind about who was and wasn’t white, and it often had nothing to do with skin color.
Let’s address being a minority, which is also something white people fuss a lot about for reasons. White people worried about becoming a minority are confused about the social construction of race in white supremacist society. (Please do some homework and drop the dependence on oppressive association.)
Even now, white reactionaries yearn for strict rules addressing white identification. In other words, white people yearn to be a minority. They want to be members of a small and select group of special people who claim moral and intellectual superiority over others based in evidence composed of fantastic fiction and highly selective perspectives on various histories they claim as their own. It’s utter bullshit and really not much more than attractive gossamer that helps those who can pass as white to adhere to racialized nationalism and class identity.
White people are supposed to be destined for upward mobility due to nobility, which is a term these days that means little more than unearned status granted by the capitalist class. So white people already have claimed for themselves a special minority status and are only concerned that people who aren’t white might abolish the nobility of whiteness. Donald Trump whining about Europe and United States losing its identity is mostly a confused racist who is actually feeling anxiety that results from fear of losing the ability to bargain with poor white people to fight a racist class struggle to discipline the working class. (See, “Two Men and a Bargain”.)
We should all seek to abolish whiteness. To do so, though, we’ll have to be willing to abolish class.

Whether or not rich people work hard is entirely besides the point. It’s irrelevant. They could jack off all day and it wouldn’t change the fact that their property is theirs by right.
It’s another emotional talking point by leftists to justify their theft.

govt =/= centralized federal govt. "govt" can be used to mean just like how ppl organize themselves e.g. the "govt" could consist of a network of unions in lieu of a centralized federal govt. types of governing style (which you could also refer to as govt) associated with anarchism are horizontal
furthermore communism is a lot more than "govt controls things" because og communism is less "govt controls everything" and more "the workers control the means of production" i.e. no bosses to profit off of other peoples' work. this is the basic of what marx was talking abt and there are a lot of ways to interpret this; some believe that centralization is still necessary while others, including ancoms, do not
obviously that's oversimplified and i am not an ancom per se, but there is a rationale behind the ideology
A serious question
Explain to me, someone, how one could be both an anarchist and a communist. I dont get it because…
Anarchy implys there is no government (at least in like, the national sense of the word).
And communism implys the economy is controlled by the government.
I’m not a troll i swear i really want to understand.

Bernie’s refusal to unapologetically condemn ICE & recent defense of Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ “right to eat dinner” confirms the suspicions of many that as President, he would’ve fallen in line just like any other Democratic president

In June 2013, to coincide with the Supreme Court’s ruling on the Defence of Marriage Act, a large number of “Pro-Fabulous, Anti-Capitalist” posters were pasted up in St Louis on Manchester Avenue in The Grove. They bore slogans such as:
‘Queers Against… Monsanto, the HRC, the STLPD, the Military, Marriage and Pride INC’
