Does the existence of race-based kinks (like "raceplay") represent a continuation of colonial violence or a legitimate form of sexual expression between consenting adults?

Race-play is not a private, harmless kink. It is the erotic re-staging of colonization, slavery, apartheid, occupation—of every real relation of production that turned human beings into commodities and still keeps whole nations chained to the imperialist world-market. When a Black person is auctioned in a bedroom or an Asian woman is asked to “act submissive like a geisha,” the scene reproduces the exact racialized division of labor and violence that capitalism generated on the plantation, in the rail camp, in the sweatshop, and now re-packages as a commodity for porn sites. Consent, in the narrow bourgeois-legal sense, cannot wash the blood off that transaction; it merely shows how completely the oppressed have been denied any other terrain on which to negotiate their own humanity.

The kink itself is therefore a continuation of colonial violence, not a metaphor for it. It is the superstructure catching up with the base: surplus value still extracted from super-exploited nations is now recycled into a luxury good for the metropolitan petty-bourgeoisie—complete with safewords so everyone can pretend the power relation was “suspended” for twenty minutes. Meanwhile the material base—ghettos, reservations, barrios, migrant camps, hyper-policed borders—remains intact. Race-play is the culture of imperialism in latex.

The only revolutionary position is to fight the social conditions that make such “play” imaginable. That means:  
1. Organizing the racialized proletariat into a vanguard capable of seizing the means of production and reproduction (including their own bodies) so that survival no longer depends on selling every aspect of life, including sexuality.  
2. Ruthlessly criticizing the entire sex-industrial complex—porn platforms, “kink-friendly” corporations, liberal NGOs that brand violence as empowerment—while offering concrete material support to workers trying to exit or fight those sectors.  
3. Building new proletarian social norms through the collective struggle itself, where the former “objects” of racialized fantasy become the subjects of history and the very categories of race are undermined by socialist construction.

When the dictatorship of the proletariat has destroyed the economic foundations of racial oppression, sexuality will no longer be a marketplace where survivors barter away historical trauma for rent money or momentary validation. Until then, every moan that repeats the master’s grammar is another lash on the plantation we have not yet burned down.
