Holocaust deniers also claim that most victims died due to diseases. The destruction and enslavement of natives did in fact cause their high mortality due to diseases.

There were also white towns that made money selling alcoholic beverages and drugs to native reservations. Usually long periods of starvation cause high rates of diabetes (amongst other symptoms) in a populace - today the lakota people have one of the highest percentage of diabetes per capita in the world.

The reservation were designed with the eventually extinction of native americans in mind, yes. Its just much slower and more deniable "social murder"

Ancient Judea & Israel were also not ethnostates.

They did not control everything. New Spain claimed a territory from Anchorage to the Philippines to Georgia.

Back then the ideological split inside american settlers was between actively killing all natives or putting them into reservations to left them naturally die off over time - as they were "evolutionary obsolete". In fact the bourgeois revolution of the american landlords was started because the British tried to limit american settler expansion and the expansion of slavery into Creek and Chickasaw lands.

The idea of not killing off natives was never present in any large capacity in the early united states.

Its already privatized and mass-privatization in the west (germany) happened in the 90s as a response to the "economical drain" that was "synching the former GDR to the west". The federal government just owns large shares in DB. In most federal states there are also several other private companies that run trains like SWEG (which is owned by the federal state), which was basically the only company that actually provided train transit to my home region.

Morals are secondary, as they define your strategy, not your tactics.

Yes, Marxist dont act on good morals, they analyse which acts bring forth the rising class consciousness and class antagonism amongst the working class and act accordingly. "Good Morals" is just a byproduct of that process, as is oxygen to photosynthesis.

So the people who fight the genocidal empire which spreads banderites-nazi propaganda inside Ukraine, are bad? Zelensky who has said he basically wants to be like Israel and made azov into the official army is the guy one should support?

Most of big car is shifting towards the military-industrial complex. I come from a heavy auto industry-focused region in the south and it's absolutely catastrophic, young people are being laid-off en masse, while basically all factories are a minute from closer or moving out of the country.

Besides, austerity is the point, the trend in the west is trump/milei style holistic-canablization.

Does Israel have civilians? They are settlers, combat-trained settlers. When american settlers tresspassed into the lands of the comanche or lakota, they often died as well - which gave further rise to state action and more settler colonialism.

They made a five to six multiple-fold overestimation of the average growth rate of that plant. Funnily enough Switzerland is currently facing a kudzu issue.
