https://firebrand.red/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/settler-1.jpg1920800There is a great political and strategic difference between typical modern capitalism and settler colonialism. The working class can be the revolutionary agent even in societies like the United States that were founded as settler colonies. Giving up on white workers as “settlers” is giving up on the potential of revolution. Abstract moralism is not an adequate guide to politics.
