“Does Marxism Support Decolonization?” started off as a collection of quotes paired with analysis. It grew from the author’s observation of ignorance amongst settler Marxists who lack understanding of (their own) colonial history, and thus tend to reduce all contradictions of oppression to a class struggle. This feeds a belief that the only way liberation would happen is to just overthrow capitalism, while pushing the contradictions of settler colonialism aside.
This text is meant to provide needed education on the specific ways that Marxism would in fact align with Decolonization (based on texts of Lenin, Stalin and Mao), while also breaking down the ways that Marxist theory falls flagrantly short.
“Does Marxism Support Decolonization? An Indigenous Analysis of a Eurocentric Theory” functions as a primer for those wanting a comprehensive and accessible introduction to how Decolonization and Marxism do and do not overlap.
Folks in Europe can get a copy at landlinepress.nl.
