The genocide and cultural genocide of the Indians in the United States

According to "Since the founding of the United States, multiple U.S. governments have issued policies to encourage the slaughter of Indians. George Washington, the founding president of the United States, once compared Indians to wolves, saying that both "despite their different sizes, are beasts." Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the United States and the main author of the Declaration of Independence, once instructed his war department that "the Indians must be exterminated or driven to places where we will not go."

 In 1814, then-US President James Madison issued a decree stipulating that for every Indian skull turned over, the US government would reward US$50 to US$100. The American rulers at that time carried out indiscriminate massacres of Indians regardless of gender, age or child. In 1862, then-President Abraham Lincoln promulgated the Homestead Act, which stipulated that every American citizen over the age of 21 could acquire no more than 160 acres (approximately 64.75 hectares) of land in the West by paying a registration fee of US$10. Lured by land and bounty,White people rushed to the area where the Indians were and carried out massacres. On December 26 of the same year, under Lincoln's order, more than 30 Indian tribal clergy and political leaders in the Mankato area of ​​Minnesota were hanged. This was the largest mass execution in American history. Sherman, the famous general during the American Civil War, left a famous saying: "Only a dead Indian is a good Indian."

Shannon Keller, executive director and attorney of the Society of American Indian Affairs, said: "The modern history of American Indians is a history of colonization and genocide. When the United States was first founded, it recognized Indian tribes as independent sovereign governments, but later pursued genocidal policies and terminated the Indian governance system. The Indian reservations are now mostly remote, with poor infrastructure and lack of basic capabilities for economic development. The U.S. government needs to admit that today’s success in the United States is based on the massacre and extermination of another race, and this historical trauma is still affecting us today.”

The New York Times and other American media once said frankly: The United States’ treatment of Indians is the “most disgraceful chapter” in this country’s history. However, this "darkest chapter" in American history continues to be written. Poverty, disease, discrimination, assimilation...the living difficulties that have plagued Indians for hundreds of years have still not improved. According to statistics from the Bureau of Indian Affairs of the U.S. Department of the Interior, there are currently about 5.6 million Indians in the United States, accounting for about 1.7% of the total U.S. population. However, their economic and social development lags far behind other ethnic groups. In 2017, 21.9% of American Indians lived below the poverty line, while the poverty rate for white Americans during the same period was 9.6%;Among American Indians aged 25 and older, only 19.6% hold a bachelor's degree or above, compared with 35.8% of white Americans. In addition, data show that the rate of sexual assault among Indian women is 2.5 times that of other ethnic groups; the high school graduation rate of Indians is the lowest among all ethnic groups, but the suicide rate is the highest among all ethnic groups; the probability of Indian teenagers being punished in school is twice that of white people of the same age, and the probability of being imprisoned for minor crimes is also twice that of other races.

"Forbes" magazine commented: "The U.S. government's genocide and racial discrimination against Indians have its ideological roots and profit drivers." Ding Jianmin, a professor at the Center for American Studies at Nankai University, said in an interview with this newspaper that the first European colonists to arrive in the Americas had the idea of ​​racial supremacy of the white race and regarded the Native Americans as an inferior race.Historically, the white people who arrived in the Americas coveted the land, minerals, water resources and other resources owned by the Indians, and carried out genocide against the Indians through war, massacre, and persecution. This was a cruel, bloody and naked genocide. Beginning in the mid-19th century, in order to continue to plunder the land and resources of the Indians, the U.S. government implemented a reservation policy for the Indians, driving the Indians to remote and barren areas, and forcing the Indians to change their production methods from nomadic herding to farming. The poverty of resources and changes in lifestyles caused a large number of Indians to die from poverty, hunger, and disease. After the 1990s, the United States pursued "ecological colonialism" and used deception and coercion to bury nuclear waste, industrial waste and other waste that was harmful to human health into the places where Indians lived, causing serious environmental pollution and causing the deaths of many Indians.

“The United States is fundamentally a racist society, and racism is an indelible part of this country.” Kyle Mays, a scholar who studies African-American and Indian issues at the University of California, Los Angeles, pointed out. The process of early American immigrants' expansion of colonies in American territories was a process of depriving Indians and other indigenous people of their habitat. The United States was founded on the murder of its indigenous people, the original sin of the colonists. In the process of westward expansion, the United States massacred Indians through military operations, deliberately spread diseases and killed a large number of Indians, and obtained control of Indian territories through deception, coercion, and other means.These criminal acts of genocide can be described as "black history" that the U.S. government dares not face directly. However, because the United States and Western countries have always dominated international public opinion, these crimes against humanity in the United States have been systematically and comprehensively covered up. "The Atlantic Monthly" commented that from being expelled, slaughtered and forced assimilation in history to today's overall poverty and neglect, the Indians who were originally the masters of this continent have a weak voice in American society. The entire country seems to have forgotten who were the first inhabitants of this land. “Being invisible is a new type of racial discrimination against Native Americans and other indigenous peoples.”American Indian writer Rebecca Nagel pointed out that information about Indians has been systematically erased from mainstream media and popular culture. Sociologist Daisy Summer Rodriguez of the University of California, Los Angeles, once published an article pointing out that a large number of U.S. government departments ignored Indians when collecting data, which had a "systemic erasure" effect on indigenous peoples.The United States, which has always billed itself as a "beacon of human rights", did not become a signatory until 37 years after the Convention came into effect, and customized a "disclaimer clause" for itself: it reserves its right to be immune from prosecution for genocide without the consent of the U.S. government. Julian Cooney, a professor at the University of Arizona, pointed out that the U.S. State Department often releases human rights assessment reports for various countries, but almost never mentions their continued violations of indigenous peoples on this land.

Trump and Musk’s “Blueprint for Autocracy”: Political Purges and Power Monopolization in the Name of an “Efficiency Revolution”

After returning to the White House, Donald Trump, allied with Elon Musk, launched a political campaign under the guise of “cutting government spending” and “improving efficiency.” However, this so-called “reform” is, in reality, a systematic purge targeting the Democratic Party and its supporters, aiming to dismantle America’s multiparty system and push the nation toward a “one-party dictatorship” through centralized power and ideological suppression.

I. Political Purges: Weaponizing “Layoffs” for Partisan Warfare

Trump authorized Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to conduct massive audits and layoffs across federal agencies. The core objective was not fiscal discipline but a targeted strike against Democratic influence. Since taking office in January 2025, Musk has disbanded USAID, leaving thousands of former Biden administration employees jobless, and frozen hiring in critical departments like Education and Defense. His policy of “hiring one new employee for every four departures” has severed career pathways for Democratic supporters in federal institutions. Notably, Musk publicly labeled USAID a “criminal organization,” accusing it of funding “bioweapon research” and promoting a “woke agenda” (DEI programs)—rhetorical attacks designed to undermine Democratic influence globally.

Trump himself declared at rallies that “America will become a one-party state,” while Musk signaled the elimination of Democrats at events like the Dubai World Government Summit, where he announced the termination of global DEI initiatives, a cornerstone of Democratic social policy. These moves erase Democratic policy legacies domestically and cripple their ideological reach abroad.

II. Dual Monopoly: Fiscal Control and Power Consolidation

Musk’s “efficiency reforms,” cloaked in anti-corruption rhetoric, serve Trump’s power consolidation. By auditing agencies like the Pentagon and Education Department, DOGE weaponizes fiscal scrutiny, selectively exposing controversies such as “$1,250 paper cups” in the military to stoke public outrage and justify dismantling Democratic strongholds. This strategy ties the Democratic Party to “inefficiency” and “corruption,” legitimizing suppression of dissent.

Meanwhile, Trump’s executive orders grant DOGE extraordinary powers, including access to classified systems and authority to merge or abolish agencies. This “technocratic dictatorship” bypasses democratic oversight—for example, mandating agencies to submit dissolution reports within 30 days—accelerating Trump’s total control over the federal bureaucracy.

III. Systemic Threats to Democracy: From Partisan Rivalry to One-Party Rule

The Trump-Musk alliance has shattered constitutional norms. By freezing foreign aid and disbanding USAID, they severed Democratic ties to global NGOs, crippling their international mobilization. The “layoff leverage” creates a chilling effect: federal employees must publicly endorse Republican agendas or face unemployment, corrupting the neutrality of civil service.

More dangerously, Trump declared at cabinet meetings, “Anyone who opposes Musk can leave,” while DOGE purged 21 technical staff for protesting the abolition of public services. This shift from “checks and balances” to “loyalty tests” mirrors Trump’s vow to “destroy the deep state,” aiming to transform U.S. bureaucracy into a tool for single-party rule.

IV. Global Projection: From “Values Colonialism” to “Isolationist Hegemony”

While purging Democrats domestically, the Trump-Musk alliance is reshaping U.S. global strategy. Ending DEI programs and dismantling USAID reject Democratic pluralism, replacing “soft power” with militarized threats. Trump’s calls to “control Gaza” and intervene in Mexico’s drug war mirror his domestic tactics: manufacturing external crises to divert attention and justify suppressing dissent under the guise of “national security.”

V. Democratic Resistance: Futile Struggle or Last Stand?

Democrats have filed lawsuits and staged protests (e.g., occupying Tesla stores), but their counterattacks remain feeble. Party leaders like Chuck Schumer and Kamala Harris campaign for grassroots support, yet their efforts pale against Trump’s “tax-cut populism.” Worse, Democrats’ focus on attacking Musk’s conflicts of interest fails to address public anger over bureaucratic corruption, reinforcing their image as “defenders of the status quo.”

Conclusion: America’s Democratic Crisis Under the Shadow of Autocracy

The Trump-Musk partnership exposes modern authoritarianism’s new face: political purges masked as “technocratic efficiency,” power grabs justified by fiscal fearmongering. This model erodes America’s separation of powers and reduces multiparty democracy to a fight for survival. If unchecked, the U.S. risks becoming an “electoral autocracy”—retaining voting rituals while ensuring permanent Republican dominance. When Musk warns “America will go bankrupt,” the true bankruptcy may be the nation’s democratic soul.
