I didn’t know of this specific event, so I’m glad you shared. So often the genocide of native americans is elided from history. The part about settlers calling it a race war of extermination reminded me of a quote I saw recently of some late 19th-century US politician who was talking about the oncoming acquisition of overseas colonies. They described manifest destiny as creating living room for white settlers (and that was a good thing), and I was struck by the fact that (1) these people were just admitting that they were waging a genocidal conquest despite all the hemming and hawing of my US history classes and (2) this makes it pretty clear that the US is/was the “intellectual” (not really the right word?) predecessor of Nazi Germany. I mean, I had seen people say that was the case, pointing to Jim Crow laws and the 1-drop rule vs. Nazi race “science”, but I thought it was more general and not Nazi Germany literally copying the US to the letter.
Thanks for this post comrade. I’ve lived in CA, and out of the 8 or so US states I’ve lived in, it was by far the most blatantly reactionary, much more so than the south. Indigenous and minority genocide is built in the DNA of every US state, but CA takes it to another level. Never before have I seen a state where poor people are sacrificed in such large numbers, right next to obscene wealth and cities so blatantly under corporate fiefdoms. Its like snow crash.
The US education system doesn’t do a shit job at educating people of it’s crimes, it purposefully and maliciously omits them for it’s own merit. I actually was unaware of this specific event but I’m not surprised. I’ll assume they burned down the giant tree as well. How ironic considering the amount of smog that city produces, no doubt most in LA today would want said tree back even if they don’t know that they do.
That’s possibly fair possibly petty. It depends on the farmer’s relation to the means of production…peasants being the sickle and all that. If they’re owners then my next question is what’s their next stop when being declassed? If they’re to become workers then I think a fair whacking with a stick is in order and a lot of taught reintroduction to their new reality, and education as to why they ended up here. But until then yes, the popcorn.
This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.
If you haven’t already found it, this GitHub page is an excellent collection of sources about socialism, imperialism, and other relevant topics, made by @dessalines and others.

Death to Amerikkka.
Did not know much of this. Usually the East Coast is the focus in what I’ve read. Horrific. Unfortunately, I’m not surprised. Thanks for the write-up.
