That's why I said "talks shit", no work is above criticism but going "uhhhh he's not even Marxist he's just anti white" or a variation thereof is suspicious as fuck and expected whenever you say "read Settlers".

It's the "Marx loved dictatorships and murder" of white leftists, repeated far too often from people who really should see for themselves.

Sakai makes a nuanced critique of WW2 that correctly points out that the oppressed peoples of the world were conflicted in their loyalties because to them the colonial empires that had oppressed them for so long were being attacked by another nation dressing themselves in a pro-worker rhetoric (even if we know now it was a very thin facade). The British and the french accused them of atrocities but what good was their word when they said the same of the USSR, of every nation that cast off their colonizers? What good was their talk of atrocities while they were starving the Bengalis? How could they trust Belgians knowing what they did to the Congolese?Sakai's point is precisely how quick imperialists are to shift the blame to people for not having undying subordination to their brand of empire.

As to the denial of Nanking, I certainly don't recall it and it would have stuck out like a sore thumb when he dedicated some fifty pages to how the west coast was built by Chinese and Latino workers only for the settlers to demand their internment and expulsion(excluding, of course, any woman a white man wanted to claim as his wife and property). But if you have a source handy pointing me to it I'd like to read it.
