"As soon as the native begins to pull on his moorings, and to cause anxiety to the settler, he is handed over to well-meaning souls who in cultural congresses point out to him the specificity and wealth of Western values."
Colonialism never ended, it continues to persist. Indigenous people remain among the most disadvantaged in the U.S., so calling our demands for decolonization “ethnic nationalism” is deeply ironic. This logic is equivalent to justifying French annexation of Algeria or Vietnam.
This is why in order for a communist movement to be successful in the west it has to be:
1. Decolonial in nature
2. Rooted in the struggles of Indigenous peoples
3. Building towards a counter-hegemon to dissolve settler-colonial cultures
the irony of this tweet knowing Fausto Reinaga was heavily inspired by Frantz Fanon and looked up to his works regarding colonialism
He was originally a Marxist, but moved away because Marxist movements in the west failed to address colonialism
Are you actually this dense? The man in that photo is Fausto Reinaga, the father of Indianismo who spent his whole life fighting criollo/mestizo rule. Calling him or me a white supremacist just because we reject your progressive negro bullshit shows how completely fried your brain is. It literally breaks down the second an a ameridian person doesn’t follow your script.
The essentialism of Indianismo lies in its reliance on the fetishization of lost culture rather than the construction of a new national consciousness. It is constrained by the framework of racial nationalism, alienating people from social transformation
The reason Indigenous people don't accept leftist movements is that, on a global stage, Indigenous struggles were completely abandoned in favor of settler-colonial struggles
For a successful movement, it requires the emergence of an unconditional decolonial party
Too bad "Land Back" as a phrase has been defanged and reduced to liberal garbage
Deb Haaland left her tribe to die when they pleaded with her for help
I pray she is everything yall want her to be because listening to my attorney boyfriend and his friends (who did legal action work for over a decade for the Laguna Pueblo where she is from) the tribes are EXTREMELY pro-police and highly conservative. She hasnt had to weigh in on local issues as much as a congresswoman or as Sec. of the Interior.
I hope it works out given her new role!

Language and culture cannot fruit until colonialism is addressed and wiped away
You can make all the effort to revitalize culture within yourself as an individual but it does not address the collective issue
Acting like you're any better than who you're arguing against when you fetishize native culture while praising colonial slop like Mexico
This is my problem with descendians, you all claim people who have past, instead of communities that are alive and well, the COMMUNITY has to claim you, isnt that what twitter people always say?

"The oppressed will not be liberated by the generosity of the oppressor, but by their own efforts and sacrifices."
The human trafficking, murders, targeted killings, ecocide, poverty, and genocide will not end until the colonial states of the western hemisphere have fallen
My point is that we shouldn't automatically trust Native people who participate in colonial structures, because doing so ends up perpetuating those structures. We should instead build independent structures, run by the people, for the people, outside of colonial structures
