It's fucking wild to me that the text everyone points to when they want to talk about racial politics in ultra-left circles is Settlers, a book written by a fucking Asian dude and full of demonstrable lies when he ran into something inconvenient

(like the section on the IWW) and not literally anything written by Indigenous theorists about it (other than the occasional passing reference to Decolonization is not a Metaphor)

So apparently right wing Asian Twitter found this or some shit and now MLMs are yelling slurs at me for saying that Black and Indigenous theorists have written better stuff about colonialism and racism in the workers movement than Asian Americans?

Just amazing shit lmfao, keeping calling the Asian dude an anti-Asian racist I promise it makes you look really smart

1. The "COVID came from a Wuhan lab" conspiracy is a bunch of extremely dangerous bullshit that's been catapulted from from Alex Jones shit into the political mainstream by the right liberal contrarian crowd because their job is to repackage

2. right wing conspiracies and feed them to the mainstream. We literally had this exact same shit when the pandemic began and Trump and Bannon started pushing it in their attempt to solidify their base through anti-Asian racism. And the scientific

So I finally read Walder's famous statistical analysis of who did the killing during the Cultural Revolution and the only real conclusion you can draw from it is that after the January Storm in 1967 the rest of the Cultural Revolution was just a

White Terror on a nearly unimaginable scale. The various state and conservative forces did SEVENTY NINE PERCENT of the recorded killing, the rebels a paltry 21%. And Walder estimates the total number of dead to be between 1.1 and 1.6 MILLION.

I say this a lot but the thing the MLs deserve is to win in a like 15 mile strip of desert somewhere and then all get purged by a series of increasingly absurd show trials only for their ideological successors to justify their deaths 50 years

People get really confused about the class position of cops because they look at the salary and are like oh these are wage earners they must be part of the working class. But if you pull the analysis out a bit you see what vulgar Marxists miss:
Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
the "wage" that cops make isn't really a wage at all. Most of what cops actually do is ticketing or fee collection, it's how they fund themselves. Their job is to take other people's money and put it back into the police force. The most infamous
