Deliciously over the top, high production value, revenge on the British Raj. If you want something uplifting about killing colonizers, this is it.

Weird Fishes has been out in the world one year today. I like to imagine it still floating stealthily out there, tentacles drifting, ready to sting and ensnare. I appreciate everyone who has read this strange novella and shared it with friends. And if you haven’t read it yet, what makes you think you can escape its anemone embrace?

As if settler colonizers weren't already detached from any responsibility to build meaningful relationships to Indigenous Peoples whose lands they're occupying, they now have a number they can text to find out whose lands they're on to do a #LandAcknowledgement. Fuck your digitized and analogue allyship performances. #LandBack #AntiColonial #AccomplicesNotAllies

Do we need new alliances to connect our struggles?
In the second half of the System Change Camp we are continuing the process of building a #radical, #anticolonial and #anticapitalist #ClimateJusticeMovement. Do you want to join us? Come from the 30.07. until the 06.08. to the System Change Camp in Hannover.

"When Kémi Séba, a leading anti-colonial figure in Francophone #Africa, last attempted to travel from his native Benin to Mali in January 2020 he was prevented from boarding the plane by Malian authorities.

At the time, Mali was under the control of president Ibrahim Boubacar Keïta—a close ally to #France who would not have welcomed Séba’s ability to lead large #protests against the #country’s former colonial ruler.

Two years later and Séba tells Quartz that he was personally invited to Mali by local authorities led by Colonel Assimi Goïta, the head of a military junta that seized power in August 2020, to give a rousing speech against neo-colonialism in the capital city of Bamako.

“The Malian authorities regard me as an ally because they know that I have reignited Pan-Africanism in Francophone #African #countries,” said Séba who was kicked out of Senegal in 2017 after the government called him a “threat to public order.” [...]

While the international community and the Economic Community of West African States (Ecowas) have denounced the military takeover in Mali, he praises the armed forces for responding to growing discontent with the former government

“The alliance between civil society and the military forces is a patriotic path forward and it will be the beginning of a new era in Africa,” he said.

“#Democracy in the western sense has failed. Mali for me is proof that something can be different.” [...]

A recent poll by the [french-speaking] Friedrich Ebert foundation found that 68% of Malians are very satisfied with the coup, 27% are satisfied and only 5% do not support the military [...]

The question now is whether #anticolonial populist governments with broad support from their citizens will become a trend that spreads to other parts of Africa.

Séba believes that it is currently mostly isolated to Francophone Africa where it is slowly gaining momentum.

Even the more internationalist regional leaders like Macky Sall, Senegal’s president, have recently suggested that he wants to overhaul financial relations with the West.

The president gave a blistering speech earlier this month at a United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (Uncea) meeting in Dakar where he criticized the IMF for not allocating a fair portion of special drawing rights (SDRs) to the continent during the pandemic.

Africa has received only $33 billion of the $650 billion in emergency and unconditional funding issued by the IMF during covid-19, with much larger sums being allocated to developed economies like the US, Japan, China, and Germany.

“Explaining underdevelopment in Africa is very simple. The rules set up by international institutions have put us in a straitjacket. The rules are unfair, outdated, and need to be disputed,” he told delegates.

“It is time for Africa to speak out. The voices should not just be those of leaders but of finance ministers and others affected by a system that works against the continent.”

The growing dissatisfaction with Bretton Woods institutions adds to the feeling that the West has deliberately short-changed Africa in terms of access to vaccines.

Western drugmakers continue to block African manufacturing plants from producing life saving vaccines due to patent issues and vaccine donations to the continent have fallen well short of the mark.

This may have [sic] led to an increase in anti-Western sentiment in other regions outside Francophone west Africa.

Jeffrey Smith, founding director of Vanguard Africa, a non-profit [...], said that Putin’s invasion of Ukraine has increased anti-Western sentiment in Africa.

Russian flags have been flown in rallies everywhere from Ethiopia to South Africa as many Africans believe that the West’s condemnation of the invasion is hypocritical in the context of Libya, Iraq, and Afghanistan. [...]

Nicolas Cheeseman, professor of democracy at the University of Birmingham, said that populist policies are on the rise in other parts of Africa but not to the same extent as the Sahel.

“Figures such as William Ruto in Kenya and Julius Malema in South Africa are using populism as a way to try and gain power, but at the minute it seems to be more of a tool of the opposition than the government,” he said.

Still, the populist trend in west Africa could be the start of a wider movement in Africa and activists like Séba certainly hope that recent developments reverberate across the continent.

Unconfirmed reports suggest that the divisive figure has established connections with Malema in South Africa to expand the movement to Southern Africa.

Last week, hundreds of protestors from Malema’s Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) party gathered outside the French embassy in Pretoria, holding signs that had expletives against France. .

For a country which is not linked to French colonization, this could be a warning sign that events in the Sahel may eventually morph into something much more significant in Africa."

I'm thinking about a story/media to explain and antithesize the legacy of Christian missions and colonial culture — from present day, back to the roots of universalist religion missions and place-based religious cultures, and returning to the present *dis-placed* world we live in to explore we go from here. Can you recommend any people who would be good to collaborate on this? Anybody interested in collaborating or thinking through this together? (A big influence was the historical analysis around "God is Red" on The Red Nation podcast with @NickEstes and @NewAmauta: https://directory.libsyn.com/episode/index/show/therednation/id/22814192, as well as Vine Deloria Jr's "The World We Used to Live In", which led me to that podcast episode)

"Whilst the author does not prescribe solutions, she does ask whether #ports could ... be ‘audit points’ for a truer sustainability and emancipation, she says. #Anticolonial #science, and better decision-making in #LA could help to break path dependencies that mean ports expand by upscaling already violent #infrastructure. Liberal #capitalism should be improved, in short, and there are risks of civil disobedience if not violence in the absence of more transformative thinking. +

🌱🍂 Reforma Agraria chilena un proceso inconcluso 🏔🌻

La #reformaagraria, provocó las más profundas rupturas en la estructura interna de la sociedad chilena, y derroteros, porque las consecuencias de esa ruptura no estaba en las manos de lo actores del momento, no las podían controlar, y siguieron distintos caminos: "consecuencias no esperadas", "resultado no deseados" e incluso "efectos indeseados".
¿Quién iba a suponer que el gran salto exportador del #Vallecentral de chile a partir de la década del 80 iba a ser producto de la pulverización de la propiedad agrícola, y su traspaso vía un ágil mercado de tierras a empresas altamente capitalizadas? ¿ Quién de los actores que propulsaron la reforma agraria (campesinistas o colectivistas) pensó siquiera, o deseó, que el fin de la inquilinaje, la #campesinización de los antiguos siervos o su organización en cooperativa iba producir un masivo subproletariado #rural disponible frente a un mercado de trabajo de carácter salvaje y no regulado? ¿Quién pensó en la globalización de los mercados de la década del noventa y que la reforma agraria no se hacía para alimentar a los chilenos sino para exportar productos altamente sofisticados a los mercados internacionales? (J. Bengoa).

Es necesario ampliar las perspectivas de análisis en torno a la necesidad de una #reformaagraria, tomando en cuenta un escenario donde se devastan los territorios, el #ecocidio que genera la agroindustria y la #feminización y #racializacion del trabajo de packing. Es necesario #sentipensar una reforma agraria #antipatriarcal, #anticapitalista, #ecológica y #feminista, #anticolonial y #antirracista, y que logre recuperar y construir una agricultura desde y para las comunidades.

I don't celebrate Victoria Day anymore. Just another #colonizer created fake holiday. I don't engage in #colonial celebrations of unceded #NativeLandTheft as part of my #decolonization journey.

I see very little #landback or other #reparations actually happening for stealing & exploiting Indigenous lands & peoples & using #CulturalGenocide on #FirstPeoples (it's still happening). Shallow land acknowledgements are useless without aligning actions.

#Bales2023FilmChallenge May 18: Appreciating #art on #InternationalMuseumDay

African art with such a deep significance were, w/i the bounds of Western civilisation, “things”. Through the editing, photography & dialogue they speak to the viewer, escaping the institute's walls. This voice was enough for the CNC to cut ⅔ of the film; the segment that's not blatantly #AntiColonial, was to be watched.

La justice pour les personnes handicapées exige et/ou permet la fin de la #SuprématieBlanche, du #Colonialisme (des colons), des institutions ségrégatives et carcérales,.. Elle travaille sur le #Leadership #Anticolonial des personnes les plus marginalisées... la restitution des terres #Landback..
C'est aussi une vision eurocentriste de penser/vouloir que la décolonisation ne soit/sera pas violente. Trois façons courantes dont les universitaires blancs colonisent la décolonisation.
