"Other instances" could be referring to lemmy.world and other very liberal instances.

Wikipedia puts Dessalines and Stalin in the "genocide perpetrators" category but not Washington, and Andrew Jackson is only there if you look through four levels of subcategories.

 

A lot of you probably know about An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz. I found out that it's actually part of a series along with six other US history books (Afro-American, African American and Latinx, Asian American, Black Women's, Disability, and Queer histories of the US). Has anyone read these other books or knows if they're good? They're all available for free on Libgen or Anna's Archive.

You could push the blade by releasing pressurized gas into the vacuum which is how rockets sometimes adjust themselves in flight.

You have a library account now so you can edit that page and any other library pages that need to be imported or have OCR errors.

You can ask for a library account on the wiki so you don’t have to fill out all the questions for full editorship.

There are also books in the same series for earlier Russian history. The first volume is from prehistory up to 1700 and the second is from 1700 to 1900 and covers most of the Russian Empire. Both are on ProleWiki although it also has links to the original scan if you don’t want to read the OCRed text.

This book covers the whole period from 1900 to World War II but it talks in detail about the civil war and start of the NEP.

Check out works by Vijay Prashad or Domenico Losurdo. They are available on the ProleWiki library.

Anarchists succeeded in assassinating Alexander II of Russia and William McKinley in the US but they just got replaced by other rulers from the same class. This is why you need to overthrow their whole class instead of just targeting individuals.

The white is all the land that Germany lost after WWII, they could have made a Jewish state out of that or part of it.

They honestly should have done this with East Prussia after WWII instead of splitting it between Poland and Russia (Kaliningrad).

 

Just as modern Zionists claim to be indigenous to Palestine, 19th-century British colonialists in Africa claimed that white people had lived in Africa since ancient times.

When Cecil Rhodes sent in his agents to rob and steal in Zimbabwe, they and other Europeans marvelled at the surviving ruins of the Zimbabwe culture, and automatically assumed that it had been built by white people.

-How Europe Underdeveloped Africa (Walter Rodney), Chapter 2.2g, p. 105

Actually, Europeans were so impressed with what they saw in the interlacustrine zone [in Uganda] that they invented the thesis that those political states could not possibly have been the work of Africans and must have been built at an earlier date by white ‘Hamites’ from Ethiopia. This myth seemed to get some support from the fact that the Bachwezi were said to have been light-skinned. However, in the first place, had the Bachwezi come from Ethiopia they would have been black or brown Africans

-Chapter 4.3c, p. 194

After the revolution (or even before if possible), we should immediately create autonomous regions (ARs) based on the traditional territory of all native groups. This will include but not be limited to current reservations, even if those reservations are located outside of their traditional homeland (such as those in Oklahoma).

These ARs will be able to make their own laws that apply to everyone in their territory, including non-natives. They will have their own elected governments, control of their natural resources, and have their own official languages. The current US Congress will be abolished and replaced by a Council of the Union (elected based on population) and a Council of Nationalities. Both will have to approve all national laws by a majority vote. Large native nations will have 8 representatives, medium-sized ones will have 3, and small ones will have one. There will also be a large number of representatives for the New Afrikan and Chicano nations and a smaller number for other oppressed nationalities within the former USA such as Arabs and Asians.

All ARs will be able to declare independence by a majority vote from all adults of their native nation, including members living outside the AR or abroad. They will also be able to merge with other ARs if they choose to do so. Overseas colonies such as Guam, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and others will immediately become independent after the revolution (besides "American" Samoa which will go straight back to Samoa) and may choose to stay independent or join with each other or other countries.
