Seriously, I am unable to really find much about them outside of short lines from Marx and Mao about their potential destructiveness among other things, but I still do not really know what that “class” is. It seems to refer to the poorest members of society that includes unemployed, criminals, homeless, etc… And are they really so incapable of being utilized in revolutionary activities as they are portrayed?
Edit: By “destructiveness”, I refer to how Marx and Mao portrayed them as people that are not considered reliable allies in any proletarian revolution (though even this understanding might be wrong because I think the explanations about them are vague).
We ran out of natives for forced labor and because it was also their home they were more resistant to being forced laborers (in short). It was easier to move africans across and entire ocean and make them slaves instead. Africans took the place of the “colonial subject” in the US and are for most of their history have been treated as such by white settlers. I think “internal periphery” is a better term than internally colonized but they both do the job. They remain a more exploited type of worker because of racism basically. You should read fanon, Black Skin, White Masks is great
Indigenous Americans also seemed less immune to Anglo illnesses, so a lot simply died.
Appreciate the recommendation!
