ABSTRACT
There is a silent historical scandal whose record, archive, and ledger book are marked by conquest. What confronts Karl Marx and Marxism is the conquest of those who do not exist in the factory as workers but those who are in the world that dehumanizes them because they are racialized as black and their humanity cannot be accounted for as it is perpetually questioned by racist mechanisms and machinations that underwrite conquest and its epochal intensification and elaboration. The scandal is of those who are black-in-an-antiblack-world.
