Thank you Grit TV! What Tom said, paraphrased, "listening or considering those without a voice." When I think about what morality means or the thought of being humane, it makes me think that there is no real sense of morality in any of us until we seriously consider the voices of those without a voice--the voices of people who do not have a voice or the voices of animals. Do they have no rights at all since their voice cannot be heard? I think if we really want to be good in any sense we must stop and consider the plights and rights of the voiceless.

Wait are you saying that if there are black people in America it's because the Spanish Church wanted the indigenous people for themselves? But what about the protestants of the North? Or maybe even the Portuguese and French. Surely they didn't felt bound to what had been decreed in Tordesillas, right? There must be other reasons why the indigenous weren't used and Africans had been brought into America.

Interesting aspect but I disagree, native culture as anyone knows is all about customs, history, ways etc, Marxism in total conflict with tribal attitudes as Marxism calls for the destruction of traditions, so one could assume socialism in native communities aim is to destroy our customs, sound familiar?

many indigenous communities had proto forms of socialism before colonizers came. marxism does not destroy culture. it frees it from the gripe of capitalism which infests culture with fake wedge issues, identity politics, and consumerism. socialism frees the laborer and therefore frees society and its culture(s).

I disagree. The only traditions socialism destroys is that of capitalism. The natives never had a capitalist society that we know of. They were socialist because everything was owned by everyone. Everyone was sustained according to their needs. This goes in tandem with their respect and love of nature. They never took too much or left their land decimated because of extraction of resources

@@ispilloil The Sami tribe of Russia would disagree, the Stahlin regime nearly destroyed the Sami by taking their land, and other sacred sites, replaced their traditional language with russian, blocked rivers making it harder for them to catch salmon which was sacred to them the same way buffalo is sacred and used by native us tribes in many ways, and eventually they got erased this way, true it wasn't a holocaust like here in the us, but yes socialist/communist governments screwed over natives as bad if not worst than capitalist systems

@@ispilloil Actually I saw a talk which mentioned this, no the tribes were not communist, the tribes were communityist, similar idea but no it was not socialism, or communism, we had our own system, when you adopt communism instead it still is not a system traditionally used by natives, communism comes from Eastern europe, we had our own system that worked, unlike communism, by the way sweden is not democratic socialism

@Sing Song Why is it that the most truly ignorant ones are the most confident in their sweeping generalizations? Why? Because their hoping for a big payday of course--they have no interest in the actual truth.
