I think what helps is to remember that real life is messy. The New Zealand Maori party are unequivocally racist and arguably fascist, but they don’t represent all Maori. At the same time, some Maori still have legitimate grievances with the government which are yet to be settled. We can hold both of these facts in mind simultaneously. Of course it means we don’t have a clear caricature of the good and the bad guys, but history is usually not as black and white as that.
FYI I edited the wsws.org link because I don’t know if it’s reputable and sometimes people pick at the source instead of the content if it suits their narrative. Wikipedia is usually accepted. Plus it has citations.
