When 1800s Ideology Meets 21st-Century Killbots

Operation Southern Spear
Neomonroeism AI Military Environmentalism 

We connect the Monroe Doctrine’s racist roots to today’s “hybrid fleet” of AI boats and drones aimed at Venezuela, showing how old imperial logic is driving new autonomous warfare. We argue for North–South solidarity, demilitarized tech, and budgets that fund care over killbots.

• Operation Southern Spear as testbed for AI maritime warfare
• Monroeism and Jim Crow as linked ideologies of control
• Health care weaponised through sanctions and blockades
• Necropolitics and outsourced morality to autonomous systems
• BRICS, trade diversification and choke-point containment
• Drone swarms, escalation risk and industrial-scale casualties
• A practical case for solidarity, climate security and civil investment


Necropolitics is a sociopolitical theory of the use of social and political power to dictate how some people may live and how some must die.
