Settler-colonialism is a form of colonial rule by which the indigenous population of an area is either exterminated or forcefully relocated (ethnic cleansing) to a designated territory and, in their place, new settler populations from overseas are introduced on the conquered land. The non-indigenous population of the settler-colony is rendered servile to the settler bourgeoisie with bribery in the form of stolen native lands being given out with little-to-no cost. Examples of modern settler-colonies include Israel, the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.[a]
Settler-colonialism is often accompanied by fierce racism and xenophobia on the part of the settler populations. Ideologies such as fascism have sought to introduce settler-colonialism and enslave or genocide native populations in the conquered land of their enemies.
