I stepped away from the pod for 2 reasons.
1. My wife needed surgery to remove cancer, which has been very stressful for my fam.
2. Some racist/crazy Anglo lady kidnapped my kids, which also put more stress on my fam, and I'm still dealing w/ it legally to press charges on her.
His spouse literally has cancer and y’all out here copjacketing a man yall know nothing about cause you have beef with his friends ?? Seriously , GO 🖕🏽 lmao. Embarrassing

Calling Palestinians "workers", instead of who they are: an Indigenous nation, is next level chauvinism.
Indigenous peoples don't need to be "proletarianized" to be considered "revolutionary", or to be "worth" fighting for.
President of Amazon Labor Union Chris Smalls at Columbia's Gaza Encampment: "When we’re talking about innocent people, civilians being killed—they’re workers! And as a part of the working class it’s a duty for labor unions to be a defense for that."

Frieda Khalo was not only an OG pretendian. She was also an agent of Indigenismo (an ideology that promoted anti-blackness & anti-Indigineity) via her art. She is one of the agents that promoted modern day Mexican colonial society. But these white communists love her. 1/

Why do settlers always think Decolonization (liberation of colonized peoples) means "killing" them?
It means destroying the colonial power structures. Ironically, they kill Indigenous peoples to maintain their colonial systems. They're always self-victimizing

If you're a communist & believe that the land & political power over the land, should go back to Indigenous peoples (rather than settlers), then you're a Decolonial Marxists. This includes Palestine, Australia, Mexico & all other settler colonial colonies.

"Marxism" itself is not Decolonization. Marxism is a tool to analyze material conditions. Decolonization is abolishing all pillars of [settler] colonialism, & building a decolonial society. Trying to build a Euro "Marxist" society on top of stolen land is still colonialism 1/

If you're a settler, and claim to be a "comrade", you should 100% be supportive of Decolonization (Land Back).
You can't be a "comrade", then support settlers controlling the means of production on Indigenous lands just because they call themselves "proletariat".

Settlers cannot have a separate liberation movement upon lands they occupy. Any settler that wishes to participate within the liberation/decolonial movement of a location should follow the lead of Indigenous nations. There isn't a way around this.

In a settler colonial society, the colonized are the revolutionary class. The settlers are the antagonist. You can't ignore a settler's position in a colonial society. Making settler workers the "protagonists" is disingenuous in a settler colonial society.
In Marxism, the working class possess the revolutionary potential to upturn the oppressive system as we know it.
I reckon that would make them the protagonists, if we choose to use such a term.
