(all of this is relatedly why i am really insistent on not compressing the timeline such that jim crow is the result of the end of reconstruction. it isn’t. there’s a very important twenty years between the de facto end of reconstruction and the emergence of jim crow.) — PolitiTweet.org

@swolecialism @grylxndr all of the above, and also, the extent to which the american state did not have the capacity to do a far-reaching reconstruction and the dialectical irony that the bourgeois ideological forces that smashed the slaveocracy were prisoners of their own limited horizons — PolitiTweet.org

you can (and in my opinion should) think of the emergence of Jim Crow in the 1890s as an attempt by white southern elites to create a settlement (in their favor) out of the violence and disorder of the previous two decades — PolitiTweet.org

for example, senator ben “pitchfork” tillman got his namesake for his role in the hamburg massacre of 1876, when a white mob of “red shirt” paramilitaries murdered at least a dozen members of a black militia during the 1876 gubernatorial campaign — PolitiTweet.org

yes, a somewhat older but still very valuable book is george rable’s “there was no peace,” which is specifically about the rise of violence in the politics of reconstruction. electoral contestation and armed conflict co-existed in the south from the late 1860s into the 1890s — PolitiTweet.org

Either those advocates are suffering from some form of false consciousness or the distribution of relief isn’t as skewed toward high incomes as critics believe. And in fact, it isn’t. https://t.co/EQYvDKuhrp — PolitiTweet.org

It is actually a little difficult to make definitive statements about the income characteristics of a political party’s “base” — who constitutes the base exactly — but in this 2018 survey Republicans had higher incomes on average compared to Democrats. https://t.co/rJqqca5KiF https://t.co/DDThyf0Y5L — PolitiTweet.org
