    This is a very lib argument, "you can't possibly understand the CCP because you are white". Like yeah, most people don't know much about the complexities of China, but people still have to work with what they have to pass judgement. And people will pass judgement, you can't not have a take on th world's newest superpower

      This is pure, uncut Western brainworms. Your "take" is bullshit if it's not informed.

        Who is J. Sakai anyway? I think Settlers is CIA/FBI propaganda. I've read the first few chapters and it seems like an ultraleftist critique of American leftist politics that discourages every movement in the U.S. for not being leftist enough.

          Orthodox Leninists like Walter Rodney were saying that the working class in colonial countries were being bought off with colonial spoils back in the 50's. The only new thing Sakai brings to the table is their inflammatory edge.

        Cool! I'm not American, I'm Irish, one of the only white countries with a revolution that wasn't purely burgieois.
