How do we understand the primary contradiction in settler states? (lemmygrad.ml)

I was recently in a conversation with a self-described MagaCommunist who held the position that the primary contradiction in the USA was that the financial owning class owned all of the means of production and that the contradictions of settler colonialism were secondary and could only be resolved through a workers' state.

I realized that I hold the position that settler colonialism is the primary contradiction in the USA, but I also found that I struggled to articulate it effectively. I'm looking for your own thoughts or writings that I can study to learn more on this topic.

Can you expand on your point that the USSR gives us an example of an approach involving prioritizing the national question going hand in hand with prioritizing class struggle?
