Kill all the white people (then we’ll be free).
One of the most popular books on the far left in the United States and Canada is Settlers by J. Sakai. J. Sakai, who has never really been identified, is a 1960s political activist who came out of the Weathermen and the Neo Maoist wing of the New Left. There are many conspiracy theories about who the real J. Sakai might be. Some people think it’s a pen name for David Gilbert, one of the organizers of strike at Columbia University in 1968. Other people think Settlers was written by the FBI, Cointelpro designed to divide the left, and push us away from talking about class war to talking about race war.
…
The American and Canadian activists who talk about “stolen land” and rename the USA and Canada to “Turtle Island” are the ideological descendants of the Weather Underground and the Symbionese Liberation Army. Most of them are not Cointelpro but they might as well have been designed in an FBI (or American Enterprise Institute) lab to divide the working-class and justify repression.
