there is no white working class in the U.S., much like there isn’t a working class in ‘israel’. there’s the settler class and then the oppressed working class who have been deprived of national sovereignty

he claimed that the white working class is a reactionary class whose racial solidarity under imperialism stifles any class solidarity with those oppressed by imperialism

This analysis is once again, anti-materialist and defeatist, if you cede that the majority class is inherently anti-revolutionary then you may as well just throw your hands up and say “fuck it” and never do any sort of organizing work ever again

no, i’m not. just that the revolution will not be led by whites, nor will it be led by any nation within the imperial core. i have not by any means given up and still organize, i just doubt the revolutionary potential of the US or any other settler colony. that does not discount the oppressed nations who exist under occupation
