>>2698826>They couldn't just "rise up" and overthrow their oppressors when they were kidnapped, sent across the ocean, and brought to a foreign land where they have no rights, no ability to organize, and no political alliesEntire generations of slaves were born and raised in America, and although they had no rights they did have the ability to organize. As you said they organized uprisings as well as other forms of resistance like the Underground Railroad. They also did this with the assistance of abolitionists, so they did have political allies.
>If you fail to overthrow the bourgeois you'll just be put back to work. Or you end up mysteriously dead like the Ferguson organizers, the cops drop a bomb on your house like the MOVE bombing, or kick in your door at night and murder you like Fred Hampton. Even still, there are workers uprisings in America, it's just that these fail because like the slave uprisings they lack the resources and degree of participation to be successful. If slaves get credit for their failed uprisings then we should also credit failed worker's uprisings like Occupy, the George Floyd riots, etc.
>You also have infinite resources to organize and build solutionsBro what do you mean infinite resources? Do American proles have the same funding and manpower as the bourgeoisie? Do they have the media on their side? Come on. Organizing is hard because of the complete lack of resources.
>But the American proles are still too afraid to do anything that might disrupt their lifestyleIf by "disrupt their lifestyle" you mean ending up dead, in jail, or destitute then yes.
