  • I started reading Settlers. The first chapter was an easy enjoyable read, making clear points, citing Marx multiple times, not using many and difficult or outdated words. Here is a well formatted epub. Sadly the archive.org scans are as always a mess in epub.

    The first chapter had a class analysis of early settler society and listed how all branches of it’s economy tied into slavery, supplying ships for the slave trade and contracting slave work from slave-owners.

    Here is a quote that I liked

    When we point out that Amerika was the most completely bourgeois nation in world history, we mean a four-fold reality:
    (1) Amerika had no feudal or communal past, but was constructed from the ground up according to the nightmare vision of the bourgeoisie.
    (2) Amerika began its national life as an oppressor nation, as a colonizer of oppressed peoples.
    (3) Amerika not only has a capitalist ruling class, but all classes and strata of Euro-Amerikans are bourgeoisified, with a preoccupation for petty privileges and property ownership the normal guiding star of the white masses.
    (4) Amerika is so decadent that it has no proletariat of its own, but must exist parasitically on the colonial proletariat of oppressed nations and national minorities. Truly, a Babylon “whose life was death.”

    Especially this

    Amerika […] was constructed from the ground up according to the nightmare vision of the bourgeoisie.
