  • Uncharacteristically bad take from Prashad here. Settler colonialism is inextricably linked to capitalist imperialism, if you don’t believe one I don’t think you can credibly believe in the other. And mistakenly conflating nations with ethnicities and doing the “where are the poor settlers supposed to go?” strawman nonsense! Unbelievable!

    The Indigenous peoples of North America are not ethnically homogeneous, but they all went through shared historical experiences under settler colonialism that constitutes a distinct nation in contrast to the settler nation that established a nation-state. The nation the state was formed around does not contradict the mode of production and that it is still the bourgeoisie in the position of power.

    At least he still makes the reasonable conclusion that we need to move away from the nation-state model towards a plurinational model.
