  • All I'm saying is that we as the left assume that the American working class can be revolutionary and are just waiting on a strong organization to guide them. Well in my experience with the American people, as well as my knowledge of settler colonialist societies. I highly doubt that

    WRU isn’t american u idiot

    I never implied he was. I responded based on the argument he stated earlier in the thread

  • The Russian revolution didn't happen cause of the independent will or glory of the bolsheviks. It happened because even prior to the bolsheviks being formed revolutionary consciousness was necessary in russia

    the proletariat in every scenario has always been a revolutionary minority. the issue here is that youre taking "the USA" as the given subject rather than realizing that the revolutionary struggle on Turtle Island will transcend the fake colonial borders.

    What about Israel? Do they have a revolutionary proletariat? And if so why not?

    of course not. thats my point. you can't take "the USA" or "Israel" as your given subject to find the proletariat.

    obviously their is a proletariat in both Aztlan and the Fertile Crescent but it ain't the settler garrison who upholds these phony nationalisms.

    Right exactly. America is a settler colonialist society the exact same as isreal. Only difference is more time has passed. The settler colomialist mentality still exists. Which is why the version of being patriotic for Americans is not a shared identity but a feeling of power over the colonized world

    Revolutions have historically never happened in settler colonialist societies. They happen in colonized places after a revolutionary war

  • American identity is built on maintaining the oppression of the working class

    this just straight up isn't true, like at all. Algeria, Zimbabwe, German West Africa, Manchukuo, Haiti, and British Kenya all experienced anti-settler revolutions which changed the relationship between the land and the colonized. Palestine is experiencing one right now. Taiwan will experience one in the future as will the USA.

  • Settler colony mentality? I sure wish my wife would “settle her” own mentality first!
