Capitalism is in a continuous struggle for the consciousness of the working class. This takes many forms. One form is to outright hide events from people. How many people know the following. Between 1891 and 1911 around 10 million Africans died in the course of Europe's robbing of Congolese ivory and rubber resources. Yet the only scholarly volume in English directly devoted to this topic was not published until 1998. This is one of Africa's holocausts. Yet it is hidden from the working class. Capitalism does not want to admit to its crimes. Especially against African people.
