Hey all,
I’m currently developing a Marxist-Leninist analysis of settler colonialism, especially in light of the situation in Palestine, and am going to read Settlers: The Mythology of the White Proletariat by J. Sakai for the first time. Before I do I was just curious what other comrades think of the book and its analysis? It seems a pretty controversial text among many online Marxist groups, to whatever extent that matters, but as an Indigenous communist I feel having a clear and principled stance on the settler question is important for all serious communists. I’m not sure if I’ll agree with Sakai specifically, but since I generally agree with the opinions of y’all, I was curious as to your thoughts on the book.
Link it? Sakai is far better than Zizek. Sure he’s a little overrated here, but he’s worth reading as long as you’re critical and reading more recent stuff with better specific analysis too. I agree there are a lot of other authors like Amine that deserve more attention.
Simply read through his entire bibliography
Didn’t he write a lot of stuff? Surely you can give me a couple of suggestions or a place to start.
Galeano’s open veins
Eurocentrism & russia and the long transition from capitalism to socialism are highly relevant bangers from samir amin. Also the future of maoism though a bit old
Yea I’ll help with that I’m just finishing up my parapolitics annotated bibliography which is another blindspot for many
