I was recently in a conversation with a self-described MagaCommunist who held the position that the primary contradiction in the USA was that the financial owning class owned all of the means of production and that the contradictions of settler colonialism were secondary and could only be resolved through a workers’ state.
I realized that I hold the position that settler colonialism is the primary contradiction in the USA, but I also found that I struggled to articulate it effectively. I’m looking for your own thoughts or writings that I can study to learn more on this topic.
I think if you live in the imperial core adopting Lenin’s revolutionary defeatism is the only correct position, that is ensuring that your country and the broader imperialist camp lose the new cold war against the global south, economically, politically and militarily. This is the only way for the conditions necessary for a real revolution to be created, is for the West to lose and lose decisively in its attempt to keep the global south subjugated and underdeveloped, and thus to lose access to the free resources and wealth that it extracts from its neo-colonial relationship with the global south.
This means opposing any form of sanctions or political meddling in the affairs of other countries, opposing any form of militarism or re-arming, joining the anti-war movement, and standing in solidarity with all (real) enemies of western imperialism regardless of the nature of their social and economic systems.
