I'd consider any of Zak Cope's work, especially divided world, divided class, as some of the best modern works addressing labor aristocracy / socialized bribery theory and neocolonialism in the modern era.
Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz also has great stuff, an indigenous peoples history, and loaded are excellent expose's of the US settler garrison.
There was an overwhelming support for the war on Iraq, especially in the media. I think only one or two US representatives voted against it, and maybe one British rep.
It's the level of pacifism any westerner gets on as soon as the oppressed fight back. These galaxy-brained "all sides bad!" posters would rather the oppressed just follow Gandhi's advice and do their enemies job for them.
Not a nation of immigrants, but of colonizers / ppl who answered resoundingly yes to the following question: "want some free land, all you gotta do is kill some Natives ppls for it?"
I don't see the distinction you're trying to make between settler-colonialism and ... what? The US is a settler-colonialist project, because it allows them to steal land, or control it via compradores, in their best material interest. Israel is no different, which is why western capitalists created and funded it: a colony run by and for white european millionaires in the ME.
The US can't have the equivalent of a "red scare" for racists / reactionaries, because it is founded on indigenous eviction and genocide. They'd have to cancel the entire settler-colonialist project, and return all stolen lands, if they earnestly outlawed genocide.
