1/8When “socialism” is an excuse to keep smaller countries defenseless, poor and obedient to the empire, it is not socialism. It is a part of imperial ideology to keep them exploited and subjugated by the empire. It’s a gated community building efforts for the capitalists.
2/8Western “socialists” and others who call themselves activists have long been engaged in this deceptive “activism” instead of being fully engaged in dismantling the imperial structure.
3/8If wildfire, police violence, election rigging, corruption, having weapons of mass destruction, prison torture, shameless state propaganda can lead to a regime change for other countries, there is no country as applicable as the United States of America.
4/8Over and over we’ve seen countries defying the US hegemony targeted as ones that need “democracy” only to be destabilized by baseless propaganda lies, west backed violent extremists, stripped of resources by economic sanctions, bombed and colonized to be plundered.
5/8The basic essence of our angles toward peoples in other countries should center around respecting their efforts in community building based on their history, culture their needs and their harmony among the people and environment.
6/8It is crucial to understand that the hierarchy of money and violence that permeates in our society—inflicting structural violence, institutionalized discriminations and draconian measures against us—extends their influences far into countries of “others”.
7/8The system that deprives its people to accumulate wealth, use the accumulation to justify hierarchy, use the hierarchy to put people against each other, use the conflicts to justify its violence is nothing but an authoritarianism of violence, and that’s what capitalism is.
8/8Imperialism is a global expression of capitalism. Without our conscious efforts to recognize the system for what it is, we let ourselves shaped by the imperial hierarchy in serving the system with the expense of our genuine efforts and sufferings of the peoples elsewhere.
