“I’m almost surprised you’re not antisemitic Elias,” a chat member once wrote. “It usually goes hand and hand [sic] with the whole Stalin did nothing wrong mantra,” alluding to Rodriguez’s support for old school communism.
“One of the biggest things that stalin [sic] didn’t do wrong was ending the most antisemitic regime ever yet known 2 man,” Rodriguez responded.
Still, when it came to race, Rodriquez’s hatred seemed reserved for white people.
“Lol you probably would have to actually genocide white people to make this a normal country,” Rodriguez wrote in one post. “Like even a very targeted and selective rehabilitation program would probably have to lead to the lifetime imprisonments of tens of millions of white people.”

In all his rage though, Rodriguez had an almost wide-eyed optimism about the global south, which as a self-identified Maoist Third Worldist, he believed alone had “revolutionary potential.”
Going back and upholding all the various 19th century treaties with each First Nation seems like both the hardest sell but also the most necessary part of a revolutionary program in the US.
I imagine in this context the treaties don’t hold up because the US no longer exists, so it’s really just relocating settlers away from rural areas and letting indigenous people do whatever they want. There would need to be new rules and boundaries established due to climate change and the fact they many Indigenous nations don’t exist anymore or have been forced to leave their ancestral lands, but I think trying to relitigate old treaties is less elegant than other solutions
