#OTD in 1961, the great revolutionary and theorist Frantz Fanon passed away. Born in French-occupied Martinique, Fanon's writings and work would not only impact the Algerian revolution and the entire African revolution, but also revolutionaries the world over.

Even after the imperialists are defeated, many of the wounds they inflicted on our world will still have to be healed. Malcom X once said, "if you stick a knife in my back nine inches and pull it out six inches, there's no progress... (continued below 👇)

If you pull it all the way out, that's not progress. Progress is healing the wound that the blow made. And they haven't even pulled the knife out much less healed the wound. They won't even admit the knife is there." - Malcolm X

Revolution and re-education will heal our wounds.

¡Solidaridad por Colombia!

The people of Colombia are rising, and are facing murderous opposition from the Colombian police, militarized and trained by the US military.

We can’t ignore the role of the US empire in the state-sanctioned massacre in Colombia!

The Latin American nation of Colombia has seen consistent popular uprisings since 2019, largely in response to the negligence of the US-backed, right-wing austerity government of Ivan Duque, as well as heightened violence against Indigenous activists. [1]

The tactics that organizers used 2019-2020 included a national strike as well as protests, which resulted in physical confrontations with the Colombian police and military that killed 17 people, injured hundreds, and led to the arrest of 500 activists. [2]

There seems to be some confusion as to how imperialism benefits those who reside in the imperial core countries, even the exploited proletariat who reside in the imperial countries.

Self proclaimed socialists, communists, and Marxists have forgotten the connections between cheap clothes and sweat shops, tropical products and plantations, electronics and child miners, in short, goods from the Global South and exploitation of the Global South.

We will try to remind those who are confused how it is that residents of the western countries are able to have cheap clothes, tropical products (fruit, coffee, chocolate, etc) year round, electronics, and how this is tied to the super-exploitation of the Global South.

The Biden presidency has been a perfect example of liberal governance. In one breath, Biden feigned concern for the violence faced by Asians & Asian Americans in the US while simultaneously announcing renewed militarization against China thru the Pacific Deterrence Initiative🧵⬇️

The Pacific Deterrence Initiative calls for an additional $27 billion in spending by 2027 to "deter" China by expanding US military power in the Pacific. This relies on establishing a tighter militarized grip over Guam, Okinawa, Philippines, Korea, Hawai'i, and many other nations

Not only does this initiative represent an extended commitment to the continued US occupation of Pacific nations, resulting in increased militarization, exploitation, and abuse of East and Southeast Asian peoples, it also relies on the US narrative that China is a global threat.

134 years ago today, the Dawes Act of 1887 was signed by President Grover Cleveland. This act allotted land from Indigenous communities to individual ownership. Only those who accepted the allotment would be allowed to become US citizens,

after showing themselves to have "adopted the habits of civilized life." [1] After the allotment, surplus land was then eligible for sale, including to settlers. As a consequence, Indigenous nations lost 90 million acres of land from a previously held 150 million acres.

The land that was kept in Indigenous hands post-allotment was often unsuitable for farming or any other way of sustaining oneself. [2] After only a few generations, the lands left after subsequent inheritance was so small that being able to live on, let alone farm on,

Covid-19 continues to ravage the US, and it is clear that those in power are unwilling to take the measures necessary to save lives. As numbers spike and Covid-19 intersects with an oncoming flu season, states are looking to reopen in greater capacity, all in the name of profits.

The Trump administration stresses ineffective “herd immunity” and blatantly says it will not attempt to control the virus. The Democrats hide behind a purposefully ineffective government apparatus, promising “relief bills” instead of taking action.

Local governments take half-measures, or none at all, to curb the damage Covid is doing, all in the name of “saving the economy.” Workers and other vulnerable people are put in danger with no guarantee of relief in sight.
