That book sounds pretty useless for a non-american person then.

    Yeah, and I'm also interested in how people who buy in to the thesis of that book explain white revolutionaries in Latin-America (Ché Guevare, Fidel Castro etc). They also live in regions where the genocide of natives happened, so by their logic it would also make them part of the privileged strata in their countries.

    If I understand the argument of the book, is not thay white people can't be revolutionaries, it's thay they can't be working class. You can still be a class-traitor revolutionary though, which, many of the best have been. Looking at you, Zhou Enlai.

    Yeah, but that's just silly. You're a worker if you have no other means of supporting yourself besides selling your labour to a capitalist.
