How will decolonization work? (lemmygrad.ml)

I thought about it but I couldn't think of a proper answer.

I guess it would make the most sense to let the colonized decide what to do with the colonizers, since they are the victims.

And what would happen with the people that were brought in as slaves by the colonizers?

I hope someone smarter than me can explain 🙏🥺

The book The Red Deal is a good intro, I think. We went over it in the book club recently!

I found bits of it to be a kind of frustrating read, but it's the first book about decolonization I've really read.

Read Our History is the Future and Bordertowns by Nick Estes, one of the authors of Red Deal. He's not a Marxist (yet) but an expert in the history of the Oceti Sakowin (Sioux Nation) and the character and evolution of American settlements bordering indigenous reservations.

That’s the book covered in the most recent season of Marx Madness. The podcast is great if you want a more in depth and radical version, though it’s over 30 hours in total.

That sounds good! I was a bit frustrated by how the book shied away from some of the radical parts, so that's exciting!
