Sorry, wh*te people. You are not proletarians and you are NOT socialists. Read Settlers.

People like that are unironically one of the biggest obstacles to revolution.

What did Sakai mean by this?
Zachary Mitchell
The thing is, Settlers specifically rejects the notion that the lack of white class solidarity with non-white proletarians was due to racism, but because whites largely constituted a labor aristocracy that benefited from the colonial/imperialist regime (and basically stood to lose more from its loss than they had to gain from its destruction).
This… this is just pure idealism. I haven't read the whole book, maybe Sakai delves straight into this idealism, but so far I haven't seen any basis for this crap in the book.
Justin Harris
Why is strawmanning settlers such a meme on this board? If you think it's arguing or something similar you need to either read it or go back and read it again. It certainly oversimplifies things but its core arguments, i.e. that global class stratification is more complex than bourgeois / proletarian, and white Amerikans have never achieved class consciousness en masse because of imperialist superprofits, definitely check out.
Michael Gutierrez
I will say that Settlers is less relevant today than it was when it came out in the 80s but that's precisely because 30+ years of neoliberalism have gradually reproletarianized the Amerikan labor aristocracy.
Anthony Ross
definitely not ethnonationalism

Critique of "Settlers" by Rashid Johnson
Angel Wood
that's more a critique of PB white people who misunderstand third worldism to mean "white people can never be revolutionary" (so basically this board kek) than an outright condemnation. but y'all don't read so
