There is no revolutionary potential in the imperial core, my Maoist-third-worldist sympathies strengthen again.
Where I’m at. I love my org to death; but I’m under no illusions: my people are barely more than 10 percent of the population (12.6% as of 2022, I think), and more than half of them are brainwormed with the same settler-capital bullshit the crackers feed us all day in and day out. Settlers still murder us in the streets every other week; sometimes even walking up into our bedrooms to chalk us out!
But I’m supposed to want to open myself to organizing with more than just Black nationalist formations, in spite of that fact? You may as well ask a woman whether she’d rather be in the woods with a bear or a man again.
pretty much, and the worst part is, it’s literally fueled almost entirely by race antagonism. the reason white westerners hate socialism and love capitalism is because they’re afraid of non-white non-westerners. that’s essentially what it really boils down to at the end of the day. aside from western far leftists when white people talk about ‘socialist’ policies or forms of perspective western socialism it’s always built on the presupposition that nonwhites will still be an underclass, and likely be segregated to the other side of the planet ‘where they belong’
not to say this is some inherent or biological flaw in western white people, it’s constructed entirely by capitalists to keep them mad about that so they don’t notice whose hands are REALLY in their pocket
Yeah who am I kidding? There is no revolutionary potential in the imperial core, my Maoist-third-worldist sympathies strengthen again.
Western leftists really have their work cut out for them, and I encourage us all to read Newton.
EDIT: removed doomerism.
