The capitalist class operates with little regard for borders, a fluidity it leverages to its advantage. The entire United States functions as a network of neocolonies—these states host governments that do not represent their people, but rather the corporations that operate within them. The majority of the population is exploited within this system; in fact, only a privileged 10% truly benefit from the capitalist-imperialist economy.

Beneath this broadly exploited class lies a layer of the hyper-exploited, who form the core source of slave labor for this anti-life regime. This super-exploitation is manufactured along racial, gender, and other lines, a deliberate construct of capitalism's superstructure. The rise of a hyper-militarized "War from Within," waged by agencies like ICE, makes this brutally clear. Hispanic people—and by extension, Indigenous people, as the term "Hispanic" is itself a colonizer label invented in the 1970s to impose a European (Spanish) heritage—are primary targets. Even the spectacle of Proud Boys leaders who identify as Hispanic cannot obscure this systemic reality; it only reiterates the haunting contradictions we must confront.

This pattern is rooted in an unfinished past. The first American Revolution of 1776 was ultimately a war over which faction of the capitalist class would control the colonies. While it included a small but notable faction of true people's revolutionaries—figures like Thomas Paine, who argued for abolishing slavery from the outset—they failed. Their defeat meant the people's revolution was never completed.

Therefore, we are not simply communists or anarchists, though we may be influenced by both. We are abolitionists. Our purpose is to finish that people's revolution and free this land from capital's control.

This struggle did not begin with us, nor did it pause after 1776. It is a continuous thread woven through this land's history: in the pan-tribal resistance led by Tecumseh, in the stunning victory of Indigenous nations at the Battle of Little Bighorn, in the bloody righteousness of Nat Turner’s rebellion, and in John Brown’s holy war against chattel slavery. The Civil War itself contained revolutionary, abolitionist currents that were ultimately subverted by capital, which traded chattel slavery for the prison of sharecropping and Jim Crow.

This tradition of people's war was carried into the industrial era by the IWW, which waged a protracted struggle from the 1880s to the 1930s. They were ultimately squashed not just by state violence, but by the betrayal of turncoat communists within the CPUSA and other factions that chose alignment with social democrats over revolutionary solidarity.

Even the global fight against fascism in WWII was subverted. While millions fought with an anti-fascist spirit, American corporations had fueled Hitler's rise, and after the war, the state imported Nazi scientists via Operation Paperclip, integrating their expertise into the U.S. military-industrial complex. Remember the Business Plot of 1933, where financiers attempted a fascist coup against FDR; though it failed, its architects remained in positions of immense power.

The central problem has always been the strategic separation of perspectives through intentional racial division, a tactic solidified after Bacon's Rebellion. That rebellion was a prototype, unifying black and white workers to such a degree that the ruling class was forced to invent the concept of "whiteness" and codify chattel slavery to shatter that solidarity.

We can view this entire history through a hauntological lens: If Bacon's Rebellion achieved that much, we must imagine the lost future where that alliance also united with the native tribes, successfully ousting the private landed gentry. That ghost of a future, which was stolen from us, holds the key to the future we can still inherit.

It has been 533 years since Columbus landed on Turtle Island in search of trade, gold, and markets; 406 years since the first person of African descent was brought to these shores in bondage; 350 years since Bacon's Rebellion; and 250 years since the capitalist class subverted the revolutionary currents of 1776—the pattern of division becomes starkly visible across the centuries.

The central, enduring problem of American history has been the strategic separation of perspectives through intentional racial division, a tactic systematically codified in the wake of Bacon's Rebellion. That uprising was a fiery prototype of class solidarity, unifying enslaved Africans, European indentured servants, and landless freemen to such a dangerous degree that the terrified ruling class was forced to engineer a social solution: they invented the legal and social concept of "whiteness" and hardened the system of hereditary chattel slavery specifically to shatter that multiracial solidarity. This was the "counter-revolution of 1676," a preemptive strike against a people's revolution that has shaped all that followed.

We must therefore view this entire history through a hauntological lens. We are haunted by the futures that were stolen from us. If the pursuit of trade and gold 533 years ago initiated this cycle of extraction and division, and if the solidarity glimpsed 350 years ago in Bacon's Rebellion was so potent it required a new system of apartheid to contain it, then we must actively imagine the lost future where that rebel alliance also united with the native tribes whose land was the rebellion's initial object. Imagine a future where that coalition—of the enslaved, the indentured, the landless, and the indigenous—successfully ousted the private landed gentry and built a society on a foundation of mutual interest, not racial capitalism.

That ghost of a future, a possibility born 350 years ago and suppressed ever since, is a key. It unlocks the understanding that our present is built on a foundation of deliberately fractured solidarity. We are recovering a roadmap to the future we were denied, a future that, in recognizing its own stolen potential, we can still choose to inherit.

If only 10% of the population benefited from capitalism there would have been revolution and regime change decades ago, the system is in place precisely because it has popular authority and represents the organic interests of the majority of Americans

the 1900s-2000s consisted of like multiple, mass movements of civil discontent in the USA that were subverted through the strategy of arresting radical leaders, rehabilitating the images of radicals as moderates and implementing token reforms.

im sorry dude but just because people working at starbucks dont work in a sweatshop doesnt mean they dont have back issues in their 30s and are constantly at the risk of becoming homeless

the usa as the true homeland of the international bourgeoisie has perfected the system of pacification. hate kkkrackas all you want bro but we tried they did everything to make us brainwashed treatlers it doesnt make our situation any less wage slavery

I really like the term abolitionist here, as in the abolition of wage slavery, of capitalism, imperialism. It feels very American, and I keep seeing people talking about how communism or socialism or whatever doesnt really sound as organic to your average American

Back issues don’t matter because we have pills for that now

Anarchism, in the course of the 35 to 40 years (Bakunin and the International, 1866–) of its existence (and with Stirner included, in the course of many more years) has produced nothing but general platitudes against exploitation.

These phrases have been current for more than 2,000 years. What is missing is (alpha) an understanding of the causes of exploitation; (beta) an understanding of the development of society, which leads to socialism; (gamma) an understanding of the class struggle as the creative force for the realisation of socialism.

You, OP, are a reactionary peddling your racial IDpol under the false guise of communism. Land does not belong to ANYONE, period. Not even the epic Native American tribe who likely conquered it from some other Native American tribe before them. America is for EVERYONE.

So if 500 million Indonesians and Pakistanis and Sudanese and Brazilians or whoever come here to immigrate, then they are welcome to do so. You are NEVER getting """your""" land back because, once again, it belongs to everyone.

The "central, enduring problem of American history" has always been nationalism. US workers are perfectly capable of uniting, but this solidarity always stops at the border. Americans are painfully disinterested in what happens to the rest of the world.

This leads to an internalized 'American exceptionalism' that is found everywhere, even on the left. That's why the dominant tendencies in USA are MMT socdems who think the US govt. can money-print its way to socialism without giving a damn about the international capitalist system, and Sakaiist Stalinite MLs who want the evil USAians to die in nuclear fire so the rest of the planet will automatically flip to communism.

>>2506692
Sakaiism and Stalinism are contradictory. You can be a Sakaiite-Stalinist.

Sounds like what trccns say. It is trve. Trccns are hyperexploited. Vulgar classism wont do shit. We must focus on trccns and niyughas.

I'm glad houdini still posting, I think him and the Maoist clique (excluding King Lear) are the most level-headed with the most well thought out posts, leftists on this board.

National Mythos pilled

America was founded by wealthy British scammers who conned the Crown into bankrolling their investment in the New World with the promise that they would share the riches and bring glory to the British Empire. Then as soon as they got enough of a foothold and armed themselves adequately they went rogue and the British Empire was too weakened from the Seven Years War in Europe to suppress the rebellion in the Colonies. America was a scam, from day one. Some clever wealthy people saw weakness and opportunity and they took full advantage of it. That's what America has always been about.

>>2507306
ziggers are good for opposing US foreign policy. Houdinism is good for establishing socialism with burger characteristics. They are both necessary.

Good post, OP. Here in Australia a similar thing to Bacon's Rebellion occurred in 1854 - the Eureka Rebellion (peep the flag), which contained not only multiracial elements but even solidarity, as the white rebels famously refused to accept concessions from the Colonial Authorities that only the white workers would get.

The very fact that in spite of entrenched racial discrimination, colonial dispossession, and the antagonism between indigenous and non-indigenous peoples, a broad rebellion of the poor, colonised, enslaved and mistreated united together for a common cause had emerged - this fact so paralysed the fledgling Australian bourgeoisie with fear that they did not dare attempt any rollback of worker's protections in open class warfare for the next FIFTY YEARS, lest they incite the spirits that hoisted the cross of stars in Ballarat that December. Not until the 1890s did they feel confident enough to continue to consolidate their grip, and the strike wave of that decade sure made them pay for it.

All the while, of course, the stolen generations, blackbirding (aka "Slavery but it's technically not because legally they're not people") the frontier wars and colonial theft and genocide still carried on, but the original spirit of the Eureka Uprising has never been forgotten. Australia has had a burgeoning labour history that has always been marked by the bourgeois attempting to dilute the waters with racial hatred - and yet, Australian labour tends always to drift back to solidarity instead. The Communist Party of Australia, once powerful enough to force Canberra to its demands, holds the distinction of being the only legacy political party in the country to have denounced Colonialism and Racism since its founding. Indeed, the CPA was instrumental in organising the historic Pilbara Strike in 1946 (did you know that legally you didn't have to pay Aboriginal Workers money for labour until 1949?) and even holds the honour of having played a vital role in securing Indonesian independence thanks to the 1945-1946 Strike that paralysed the government's attempts to facilitate dutch reconquest of the archipelago, to the point Canberra gave up and eventually sided with the independence movement.

The history of Australia has been long riddled with lies pitting the whites against the nonwhites, but this has never been the case. The Eureka Rebels themselves stated the uprising could never have taken place without Aboriginal help, Aboriginals noted how sympathetic Whites taught the likes of Jandamarra how to use horses and firearms in their fight against the invaders. In my personal experience, there is so much that the non-Indigenous can and should learn from the Natives, and there is so much the non-Indigenous can teach the Natives in how to reclaim their home.

We were defeated at the Eureka Stockade in 1854. But Capital has never been able to co-opt it owing to its meaning of republican, proto-socialist, multiracial pro-worker solidarity. To Capital, the Cross of Stars is as a Crucifix is to a vampire. The Fascists have tried repeatedly to co-opt it, too - but they're far too late. That Australia's far-right was dominated by Monarchists in Fascism's heyday is to thank for that.

If we are to defeat Capital now, we must revitalise the spirit of the Eureka Rebellion, and take its germinating ideas to their logical ends. If the right steps are made, then the Eureka Rebellion will be crystallised into the Eureka Revolution, and the dreams of the diggers at Ballarat a century and a half ago - the destiny of this Great Southern Land - will at last be fulfilled; and the original sin of 1788 repented.

>That rebellion was a prototype, unifying black and white workers to such a degree that the ruling class was forced to invent the concept of "whiteness"
Socialists supported John Fetterman because they are settlers who will drop their LGBT flag in the dust to point guns and threaten their nonwhite apartheid slaves that "invade" their whites only neighborhoods, just like their counterparts do with Palestinians. Settlers use the 2nd amendment to be deputize their worthless parasitic fail-son surplus petite bourgeoisie like Fetterman, whose legal right to point shotguns at black people is enshrined. Libertarian socialism (aka neoliberalism. Did you know Tony Blair, the new globalist overlord of Palestine, branded himself a Democratic Socialist? go on Chapo lol) is undeniably aligned with Zionist ideology which also justified their fascist collaboration with soy libertarian socialist kibbutz stuff just like Contrapoint fans do. Its funny because those Jews actually worked on farms, presumably knowing the names of their slaves.You'll never catch any of the parasitic "art and culture critic" socialists on Doomscroll podcast saying the names of their slaves. Ben Burgis will only say Charlie Kirk's name, Zionist settlers have solidarity, do you?
>deliberately fractured solidarity
The DSA Elmo Caucus will instantly become activated like agents in the Matrix when they see a non-white slave in their white hipster only neighborhood. The CHAZ explicitly cried about "terrorists" invading, the mere sight of black teens terrified those neurotic settlers. The woke USA version of Zionists will literally threaten to pistol whip the twitching corpses of black children and then cry about their bad mental health and how oppressed they are, as the anarchists in the CHAZ did

>>2506541
>likely conquered it
<"Everyone is a nazi who does holocausts just like me, actually we're all just human at the end of the day right? Historical materialism is absurd and ridiculous, we're all nazis!"
you cannot imagine humans living sustainably and not being wendigo cannibals…because that's what you are! Its inconceivable for you liberals to envision humans living in harmony with nature because you're a plastic fascist podperson
