"Oh, so you support the warsaw uprising???? They're terrorists!! What about all those innocent german families killed!"
So much colonizer seething this week.
Obligatory reminder that Germans were killing 100 random Poles for every killed German even before the Uprising. Yet that didn't stopped the active partisans, even those moderate and currently acceptable ones of AK.
Even the Germans weren't stupid enough to live five hundred feet from the extermination camp walls.
The lib take on Israel/Palestine and Ukraine/Donbas is just
hey that's

Yes. Next question please.
Highly recommend reading the Red Deal, which is written by Indigenous socialists on what they think decolonisation should entail.
I've got a copy! @redtea and I talked about it a bit when we were trying a book club.
I thought it had some good points, but I was disappointed in some bits.
Just curious, what were you disappointed about?
It's probably not a big deal, but I felt like it could've been more radical?
They spent some time lionizing the Green New Deal as a good thing, time talking about what's wrong with the current system (good), how those problems can be addressed (good), but not how we get from now to being able to address the problems.
Like, maybe I need some self-crit as a violence fetishist or something, but I don't think they really addressed the necessity for armed struggle.
I guess the book's not really meant for that, and maybe it's meant more as an introduction to decolonization for people who'd be turned off by the idea of armed struggle.
Idk, I read "Revolution in the Revolution" right before, so that probably colors my perception of it. Maybe I need a re-read!
I’m pretty sure it wasn’t meant to be too radical. It was meant to draw sunshine and DSA types, and then the further reading it references are supposed to be more radical. That’s what they said on Marx Madness anyway. The further reading being ‘red nation rising,’ ‘our history is the future,’ and the one Bolivian decolonization agreement they mention.
Thanks for the recommendations on further reading!
That’s just the stuff in the red deal. I found the Bolivian thing referenced btw. Some more stuff recommended on that podcast was ‘socialism or extinction,’ ‘fresh banana leaves’ (I have a copy), ‘indigenous Paleolithic of the western hemisphere (?),’ and ‘Custer died for your sins’ (classic, but a bit outdated, and I’ve heard criticism of it) among others.
I guess I just didn't think of the things it referenced as an answer to my issues - I probably should've read more closely!
Interesting. Thanks for your perspective!
Thank you! :)
Excuse me decolonization is me listening to a 2 hour video essay and buying a handwoven tote bag from a poc-owned small business. Colonized people should never engage in anything that would meaningful improve their life because that would make me feel bad.
Yes,
and if the spirit of Kewinaquot wills - then it will happen again.
