The book by J. Sakai, not the type of person, hence the capitalization. There are people who say it’s too divisive.

    I think we might have interpreted it differently for sort of personal reasons. I’m not a particularly good person, I don’t think, so I’m used to being told to check myself. I don’t think that’s an indictment that I’m incapable of change, just that I’ve done stuff that I need to learn from. If I refused to recognize those things, however, it would make me pretty unappealing to be around. The list of things white socialists have done in the US seems pretty damning, but not impossible to recover from. And imo Settlers is the only marxist book really asking white socialists to check themselves without going at it from an anarchist or liberal perspective.

      True, at least as far as I know of
