Native Americans Were the Bourgeoisie

The native Americans were the bourgeoisie. They owned the land, had food, and slaves. The landless starving colonists were the proletariat, rising up against the native capitalist scum and taking the means of production for themselves.

A dark social-media post presents a deliberately absurd Marxist reinterpretation of colonial American history, portraying Native Americans as the bourgeoisie and starving colonists as the proletariat. The joke comes from forcing class-struggle terminology onto a heavily simplified and provocative historical narrative, making it useful as a reaction to ideological overanalysis or revisionism.
