I've read Settlers, I can see why people say shit like this after reading it, (it is basically a history of the "white labor" movements from the perspective of non wh*toids) it is easy to see how Euro-American "socialist" movements in the past were anything but, and extrapolate that to literally everything else, but that isn't what the book is suggesting. It is a good read, and I still recommend it, but I just caution you to remember that it was written almost 40 years ago, and to not forget to do your own analysis of modern day leftist movements, where Settlers could not.
Yeah I'm still going to try and get to it at some point. I know it has good stuff. I'm just more making fun about how it seems like Settlers makes people develop hot takes if they don't remember it being written 40 years ago.
