In a recent call on the national question someone asked about how some people say the United States is not a legitimate nation because of settler colonialism and he said he knew it was obviously wrong but was wondering what their mistake is. Someone claimed that ālandbackā people never have a clear policy proposal. And I was shocked and hoping it could be rectified. Next was said in response that itās true as Stalin said that the US became a nation when it left Britain because it was a specific group of settlers, but it expanded through brutal means and that should be rectified. After a while into the call eventually the issue was returned to. The fact that there are still many indigenous tribes within the US and therefore should be given their original land and sovereignty was said. In response people said that it would make them to isolated from the union and they have the option to have that sovereignty from their reservations, but obviously choose not to, which is absurd because these states should also get lots of aid and solidarity from other socialist areas (as this would be after the revolution and it would be different to now). I thought it was bad enough but after it was said that primarily settler colonial nations need their histories rectified they said that they donāt even oppose the existence of Israel anymore. Then the gensec said that people are ignoring ādialecticsā that things change. People move in and out of territory- (though usually not by genocide)- and therefore the US is no different and we should not try to change that. āAll the slaves are dead.ā-Though people are still affected by that history, native Americans are still under special oppression by the state, and in the case of Palestine people are still alive that can remember having their land stolen and have physical evidence that it belonged to them- according to another āsome Marxists read Marx and Lenin and come to the opposite conclusionsā suggesting those bad Marxists are the āland-backā people.
Whoever warned me that they were PatSocs are right. What should I do? Is there hope of convincing them? Should I leave ASAP? Should I wait? Itās been mentioned here that we should follow the leadership of BIPOC people, does anyone know the modern equivalent of the White Panthers or AIM I should join?
Edit: I forget to mention the made the point that refugees are coming here now and if we do landback there would be refugees from here-like, sure peopleād have to move but weāve got space, and arenāt our birth rates declining anyway? Itās not like thereāll be an anti-white trail of tears. With socialist central planning we can allocate resources to support evicted settlers. Also, thereās a whole lotta land thatās privately owned that could easily be expropriated for indigenous people along with national parks which theyād manage far better. I think they also suggested that we need to integrate Native Americans as much as possible because their sovereignty wonāt help. Finally, apparently they wouldāve supported the new Afrikan struggle in the 30ās, but since I guess they donāt think you can fight fascism and racism and colonialism at the same time.
I need to see if theyāre active in my area. All Iāve heard against them is flea war accusing them of being opps, though I must admit Iāve yet to read the article.
I donāt really have the patience to trudge through those confusingly organized articles right now, but just skimming through, theyāre accusing almost all self-proclaimed socialist organizations and outlets Iāve ever heard of in Amerika of being CIA psyops
Iām interested to see their evidence, but they do seem a little paranoid.
I would be interested to hear from someone smarter than me whoās looked at their claims in detail
If what they say is accurate, there is essentially not a single leftist organization in the US that isnāt involved with the CIA doing contemporary cointelpro in some form, which if is true is pretty fucking terrible for every comrade in the US and means that basically everything any of the five organizations have touched is tainted by the CIA which is a metric fuck done of leftist organizing that is rotten. For such a dramatic claim, the evidence needs to be air tight and the presentation needs to be a fuck ton better than it is, I read through everything and I came out more confused than knowledgeable. The organization is atrocious and it looks like a red string conspiracy board. Iām not saying it isnāt true, but someone who knows how to present and put together information needs to work with them.
Who is flea war? I have never heard of them.
A substack that has writings about anti-imperialism and psyops
Oh no. Not Black Alliance for Peace. If theyāre implicated in this whole web too, I just lost the single last news outlet I had faith in bc Black Agenda Report is probs the one non-ADOS-ish, non-Democrat Black news outlet Iāve foundā¦
What does ados mean?
āAmerican Descendants of Slavesā; it sounds benign until you find out itās some Tariq Nasheed griftery, tailor-made to divide the Black community farther than we already are by colorism debates and the ever-ongoing twitter warring between these scrub-assed Black manosphere types and the marginal fringe ādivestorā movement. Wrecker shit from someone who aināt even left, p much.
Their whole angle is āreparations, but only for people who can verifiably track their lineage back through slaveryā while totally ignoring that the vast majority of us in that position in the first place have our genealogical data along those lines straight up disappear by 1890.
I canāt even trace my ancestry that far and my family never was enslaved, sounds like a dumb thing
Oh, immensely. Thing is, you try to tell Tariq that, and heāll send his lil manosphere twitter eggs after you, and GOD HELP YOU if youāre lighter-skinned than like. Donald Glover. Heās a clown, soās his clique, and that āmovementā aināt helping nobody but the people perpetuating the grift.
