Several lines, but feels particularly relevant these days. From James Baldwin:
The people who are running around throwing people in jail and ruining reputations and screaming about Communists wouldn’t know one if he fell from the ceiling. And wouldn’t care! What they are concerned about is propping up somehow the doctrine of white supremacy, so that they can seem to have given it up, but really still hold the power.
Was he a communist? I thought he was a radlib
DemSoc?
You have to be very careful what you mean by socialism. When I use the word I’m not thinking about Lenin for example. I don’t have any European models in mind. Bobby Seale talks of a Yankee Doodle-type socialism. I know what he means when he says that. It is a socialism created from the indigenous need of the people in the place. So that a socialism achieved in America, if and when we do — I think you have to say when we do — will be a socialism very unlike the Chinese socialism or the Cuban socialism. . . . The price of any real socialism here is the eradication of what we call the race problem.
Socialism with Yankee-Doodle characteristics

He was a based lib at the very least

Sure, I mean radlibs aren't necessarily bad, the rad is short for radical. Nader is a radlib and he's cool af
