most already deserved to be destroyed for the benefit of all humanity, even including their citizenry and certainly their non-white citizenry
I’d be careful here, comrade. Not only is calling for the mass death of civilians un-Marxist, it tends to get noted by the feds, who will then trot it out as an “extra” the next time you’re brought in on a technicality. An older communist told me once, never even joke about illegal activity if you’re engaged in activism, because it provides a pretext for them to build a case against you as a terrorist. You’re useless to the global south behind bars.
It can also sow division and distrust in the movement, because statements like this are often said by feds as bait. (Not saying you are a one – that’s an insult I’d never give a person without cause – but be aware).
Where did I call for the “mass death of civilians?” Read the prior context you missed-
All things that make up the present status quo for the crackerverse must probably be destroyed; most already deserved to be destroyed
By the “things that make up the present status quo” I’m obviously not talking about civilians. I’m talking about the state institutions, the exploitative and supremacist economic and cultural dominance and foundations of the west, etc.
I’m not calling for mass death of civilians, but rather the dismantling of the “post-colonial” order and entrenched white, western supremacy.
No problem, it’s important we teach better, or weed out those who say such things. I also just realized where the real confusion was in my phrasing- by “even including their citizenry” I meant specifically, that the destruction of the empire and capitalist status quo will be to the benefit of even imperial cores’ citizenry (as someone living in a western country myself).

As Engels put it: “A nation cannot be free and at the same time continue to oppress other nations.” It sounds idealistic and dewy-eyed, but even the most cursory look at history shows he was right.

Reread, and you’re right. My apologies.
