This episode is a continuation of the colonial connection series, where we speak more in depth about the origins and functions of fascism, as it relates to both Zionism today, the occupation of Palestine, and colonialism throughout history. We also talk about how reform is intrinsic to new developments of fascism that do not look exactly like what came about in Europe throughout the 1920s and 30s - today Fascism is of its own forms, which have learned lessons from the past, right beside the ruling class, and our oppressors, who work hand-in-hand (though not always in “unison) to oppress the people and make off with their riches. Please let me know what you think!

In this episode, I talk about some of the difficulties with remaining positive through a very dehumanizing, morbid, draining, and existential moment that we are all living through today. Whether we are Palestinian, Congolese, Nicaraguan, Cuban, Jamaican, Chinese, indigenous, or so-called American, we are all dealing with the extremes of capitalist, exploitation, extermination campaigns, mass, incarceration, the preponderance of social media, hyper individualism, mental health and climate crisis, and just in general, having to go to school or go to work every day while the world is blowing up around us. What do we do? How do we feel? How do we move forward? Let’s talk about it.

In this episode we dive deeper into the fundamental practices and logic that are used to justify colonialism, along with a broad overview of Europes destruction of the rest of the world, and itself, time and time again. Resist, fight, struggle to win!

Doing as much research as I can to try to prepare for the upcoming episode, has taken me more time than I expected. Hopefully that means a good quality episode will come out of it and remember, you are never alone! Never struggle by yourself.

I talk about my feelings of hypocrisy, inaction, and the frustration I am finding in the apathy, ignorance and lack of concern about the genocides (!!!) happening all over the world.

The call is unity. The time is now. Understand your role, know your path ahead, organize your community- do not hesitate, do not compromise with oppression.

“ I wish children didn’t die - I wish they would be temporarily uplifted - to the skies until the wars end - and when their parents ask them - ‘where have you been?’ - they would say ‘we’ve been playing among the clouds’”

If the title wasn’t long enough, wait till you hear how much information I packed into this one episode! This is my best attempt to try to put onto the table, all of the different historical connections and points of origin between colonial and imperial powers from Britain to the United States to Nazi Germany and to the state of Israel. Through discussing the means by which colonialism came to be, Europe, founded itself and created an institution of white supremacy, and how capitalism/imperialism was able to time and time again, assert its domination over the world through occupation, genocide, slavery, wage labor, resources, extraction, and political domination. This is only part of an ongoing discussion. I hope to have with others, and to expand upon myself. All power to the Palestinian people, long live liberation, and revolution!

Some updates regarding local actions here in upstate New York, as well as some thoughts on tactics and strategies to organize around this, thoughts rather, and the importance of centering Genocide by Israel on Palestine, and the right to self defense for all Palestinian people for their liberation in this fight

Alls there in the title. A discussion on some of my feelings towards the importance of the liberation of the people of Palestine
