    Death to America (as a political force and construct not its people but that’s too many words and we can’t have that with these literacy rates roflmao, etc.)

      Fuck that. The people are part of its political force. You don’t get to choose which psychopath murders the third world for your benefit and then wash your hands of the affair when the chickens come home to roost. Whatever happens, happens.

        This assumes that the people within said political force understand their benefits as an extension of empire, which they don’t.

          Utterly irrelevant. Besides, they absolutely would understand if they found themselves in a situation where that empire was gone and suddenly they faced their much deserved and needed reduction in quality of life, at which point they would commit violence to get their treats back.

            So you don’t want Americans to organize against empire because of some Maoist third worldist notion of original sin that they need to suffer for.

            Well, I’d prefer that when the American empire further declines that there are communists with the organizational infrastructure to overthrow it, but that’s just me.

              Read Settlers. Your dream will never come to fruition. The scattered remains of American civilization will need to be scooped up by a Communist state like China or North Korea and led to their salvation even as they fight against it every step of the way.

                Read Fanon. If French settlers can betray France and smuggle guns to Algerian patriots in the anti-colonial struggle, so can yankees.

                  the only fanon the kkkrackers will ever care about is the headcanons they make for their latest franchise slop. they are spiritually devoid and incapable of embodying revolutionary potential.

                    At the same time, anti-ICE protesters are being gunned down and given decades-long prison sentences. Some spirit seems to have motivated them.

                    I think we need to identify these wedges within the settler cohort and use them to divide them against each other and against the settler-colony. We can create more traitors, even if they won’t read.
