To put it as plainly as possible, if the proponents of the U.S. settler-colonialism theory are correct, then there is no basis whatsoever upon which to build a multinational working class communist party in this country. Indeed, such a view sees the “settler working class” as instruments of colonialism, hostile to the interests of the colonized people, rather than viewing all working and oppressed people as natural allies in the struggle against imperialism, our mutual oppressor.
A shame, a sad sad shame. For anyone that’s read settlers, or knows about the history of labor zionism, or prioritizes any kind of indigenous voice in their praxis, this is really bad. No peace for settlers! Settlers cannot lead the revolution! I hope we see an end to any respect given to this “settler colonialism is over” politic soon.
Alr, thanks for clarifying
This is where Starbucks leftist came from. No clue who he is referring to with this. This is the classic conservative line.
I’m talking about self described leftists who actively chose not to boycott Starbucks for Palestine because they’d rather their blood soaked US-imperialist slave picked treats over any form of activism, usually under a mis-appropriation of the term “No ethical consumption under capitalism”. You use the term Starbucks leftists as if I said the ACP line of “Baristas can’t be revolutionary” when I never said that and minimum wage work can often be more revolutionary than many other jobs in the imperial core.
