    The thesis, as they state it, is that Americans can't organize a leftist front because they are Settlers.

    So the book becomes a tool for self-recrimination without any real call to action.

    That's certainly one interpretation. But the whole conversation is a meta-narrative about effective (or, in this case, ineffective) organizing and how "Read Settlers" seems to be a call that shuts down productive efforts and breeds naval gazing.
