    We removed many comments, since its a blanket term used to demonize leftists, like “commie”, and carry out anti-communist witch-hunts (the instance you’re currently on blocks the major leftist lemmy servers, so we’re seeing a lot of witch-hunters).

    Its kinda similar to going to a non-theist forum, and asking, “hey everyone, what’s a heathen?” And a lot of the answers then demonize these supposed “heathens”.

    There are only a few good answers below that even obliquely reference historical materialism, how colonialism is related to different modes of production, the defining features of the columbian era of euro-american capitalist-colonialism, and its connections to race. You’ll likely get much better answers if you cross post this to lemmygrad or hexbear.
