"Revolution" is a funny way of describing bourgeois infighting between white landowners that ultimately culminated with the wholesale genocide of Native Americans.
Holy fucking shit why are so many online 'Marxists' so uninformed about Marxist theory
Holy fucking shit why are so many online self-proclaimed history buffs completely unaware of the myriad of critical characterizations of the American Revolution that don't involve takes that sound like second-grade, red state, public school dialogs from a teacher who's spent the entire last week watching repeats of Hamilton?
"Fighting the monarchy! Fighting unjust taxes!". Get real. It was all about real estate, slavery, and genocide. Washington wanted everyone to have the freedom to sell the teeth of their enslaved.
"Bourgeois revolution" is now a second-grade red state public school dialog. Okay. Cool. You have fun completely ignoring Marx, I'm sure he was just some capitalist or whatever.
