I also think Settlers needs to be read in the context that it was written in, namely in the early 80s after the destruction of the civil rights movement and infiltration/breaking apart of most militant Black Liberation groups. If it feels hopeless that is mostly because things really did feel hopeless at that point in time.

Also even accepting the most propagandized version of the great purge it was in no way a genocide? Like just killing a bunch of people does not constitute a genocide.

Improvement in material conditions along with (admittedly potentially heavy-handed) deradicalization and re-education campaigns

Liberals:

without education, the dream of the oppressed is to become the oppressor

Look we didn’t tell them to kill anybody! We simply gave the fascists the names of a bunch of communists, billions of dollars in weapons and logistical support, and free reign to do whatever they wanted. We never could have guessed it would turn out this way.
