Settlers is correct. White working class Americans might whine about how they aren’t like that but we’re talking about groups here, not individuals. Individuals are not relevant when analyzing a society, the contradictions within it, and revolutionary potential. It’s like whining about #notallmen when the point isn’t that literally, every single man on earth is like that and whinging about how you’re one of the good ones is just counterproductive.
I used to think settlers was too harsh but now I'm seeing liberals define "tankie" as something like "traitor to the west." Now I think Settlers doesn't go far enough.
I know the imperial core still has working class, but there is a case to be made that Settlers is correct
