Anecdotally a while ago I saw this video where some old white woman was having a public meltdown over some teen girls… existing I guess. A couple of them were brown-ish and so she said some racist “go back to your country” nonsense. And the girl she said it to was like “Go back to where I came from? You go back to where you came from you fucking colonizer” and I about died laughing.
Like shit it’s like pulling teeth getting most white “”“leftists”“” to acknowledge settler colonialsim as a primary contradiction in the us and here’s some random teenage girl who has a solid grasp on it
Something many white leftists fail to understand is that the settler colonial question isn’t a matter of opinion. America cannot be coherently analyzed without foregrounding its settler colonial status. Marxists who ignore this issue and make it secondary or tertiary or even deny its significance literally alienate themselves from the advanced sections of the working class, especially the advanced among the colonized, who rightly recognize such “Marxists” for the racist liability they are.
The consequences are often disastrous because they alienate radicals from each other and perpetuate racial divides whose fucking job is to literally alienate different sections of workers from each other.
