and founded on genocide of indigenous people and enslavement of Black people, but then explicitly or implicitly claim that said Black and Native people are exploiters of the third world, in order to imply that revolution is impossible in the US *even among black and native people*. In addition, why do the people opposing the claims of revolution being impossible in the US bring up the conditions of all working-class people in the US in general, instead of specifically that of Black and Native people. Idk, it seems like there used to be a coherent position on the left that revolution among *white* people specifically in the US was impossible, but that revolution among colonized people in the US was possible and necessary, but now it’s been subsumed into both of the positions I’m talking about. Also, it seems like a lot of people take the government propaganda that every single Native American died and there are none left today at face value in order to argue that *all* people in the US are unrevolutionary settlers, what’s up with that? Sorry, I know I’m being really reductive, this has just been bothering me for a really long time and I want some answers.

Is this the dumb shit Americans think about? Lmfao
>>727224The Nazis actually did directly murder millions of people.
The point of killing the buffalo wasnt to wipe the indigenous tribes out, but to make them have to come to the US government for food and force them onto reservations. Still a great crime, mind you, but when we're comparing to the Nazis (who almost certainly.would have pursued direct extermination in this situation), its fairly soft-handed.
It is just what happens when people who fully internalised narrative of american exceptionalism became leftist. If it cant be a beacon of liberty then it must be the opposite.
