Alr, thanks for clarifying

Okay, yeah i don't agree with that view. I just misunderstood OPs views

Still a sprinkle of truth to be found in there though. Specifically when they mention CPUSA, Maki, SACP struggling with the labour aristocracy due to, again, many of them having a vested interest in maintaining the present state of things.

"Settlers cannot lead the revolution!" doesn't mean white people shouldn't be barred from organising. Settlers have a vested interest in protecting the racist, colonial institutions of the US. This does not say settlers should be barred from leadership positions, it says that the interests of the settler colonial class shouldn't dictate what the revolutionary movement does. The same thing as you wouldn't want the labour aristocracy in charge of labour movements, as they have vested interest in protecting the current order. Look at what happened to the communist parties of the US and Europe.

Not once in the article is it mentioned that certain parts of the "multinational" US have vested interest in imperialism and internal exploitation. I'll show you two places where this is completely omitted despite being crucial to the topic

This is because workers of all nationalities, both oppressed nationality workers and white workers, toil shoulder to shoulder on assembly lines and shop floors, in kitchens, warehouses and offices, from coast to coast. Even as national oppression puts greater pressure on oppressed nationality workers, they are still forged into one multinational working class together with their white siblings as they suffer exploitation together under the same bosses.

The multinational working class and the liberation movements of oppressed nationalities found themselves with a common enemy – the monopoly capitalist class. Thus, a united front against monopoly capitalism, based on the strategic alliance of the multinational working class and the oppressed nations, became both possible and necessary.

OP didn't mention that in this thread though. Albeit i haven't checked their past comments on other threads

No one said anything about the labour movement in the US needing to bar white people from participating in it. The problem with the article is that, one, it is completely unnecessary because, again, no one had advocated for barring white people from organising. It's just pointless. Two, it outright denied the existence of a labour aristocracy which is often aligned with the bourgeoisie. This is seen in the text the OP quoted.

The issue with the article is that it practically implies that there aren't any contradictions between settlers and non-settlers. It acts as if settlers class interests don't often align with that of the bourgeoisie. Practically an outright denial of the labour aristocracy. And let's just be honest, no one has ever advocated for barring white people from participating in the workers' movement. Not one.
