This is why I don’t understand the comparison of Zionists to Nazis. European colonialism far predates Nazism, by centuries literally.
They are all different flavors of white supremacist racist bigotry. The Spaniards were as bad if not worse than the Nazis.
Yep, precisely my point… It’s traditional European colonialism yet the only comparison people make is to Nazism.
To aime cesaire’s point, Nazism was just the violence of colonialism infecting Europe itself.
I am currently reading Galeano’s The Open Veins of Latin America which, even if it doesn’t seem to deal much with settlement as much as economic exploitation (for now), it is still a pretty sobering telling on the scale in which Native Americans were decimated. I knew it was terrible, but not that it was “From 70 million to 3’5 million” terrible.
Best economics textbook if you truly want to understand capitalist economics.
Well, best may be a bit of a stretch (nothing can compete against Das Kapital in that regard imho) but it is still a pretty good read, especially to understand the extent of superexploitation and how far back in history it goes.
