Abolish the united states

 Policing and white supremacy is part of the fabric of this settler-colonialist country, that Abolishing the police and white supremacy will have to mean we also Abolish the united states. https://t.co/hHxKi3V8KO

A Point on Gentrification

 Gentrification plays out in so many different ways.

It doesn't matter if you are an anarchist, communist, or well intentioned.

Sometimes by moving to a city and working class neighborhood with history of white flight, you can perpetuate Gentrification and settler-colonialism in a way.

Your collective and whatever project you think benefits the community,  at the end of the day makes that neighborhood more desirable to developers and gentrifiers.

Individual action is not enough to stop it, as well as performative clout chasing movements.

Creative direct action will always be a good start.

For those who open up or start a "project" in a community that is an obvious target of Gentrification, ask yourself, who is this for, and if the people who historically lived there don't make up the people in the collective or who come to the space, then you're probably a gentrifier.

Land Back!

 The goal is to return all lands to indigenous people. 

As a guest I want to assist in destroying colonialism, and to change our relationships to earth and all living things.

Cities as they exist today represent imperialist-capitalism to its fullest, and eventually there would be no divide between rural and city, because there would be no need.

A strategy of creating bases to operate from and live that is land based is what I want to spend more time developing with comrades (you can call it "building community" but to fight from), as well as connecting to the movement all over that includes the urban. 

Eventually all lands should be returned to original caretakers of those places. In the mean time fight alongside those communities fighting to free themselves and to decolonize. I hate paying rent on stolen land to settlers though.

Free Palestine

 

Almost 20 years ago now,

I was 19 and in the West Bank, during the second intifada.

I saw the courage and fearlessness in the Palestinian people as a whole but in the youth especially.  A 6 year old was able to articulate their oppression, their situation and that he was fighting for freedom for himself and his people.

I was always amazed at the humility as well, because they knew I was there to support them, they would try to feed me and befriend me (which is all they could give).

I saw war being waged on them by settler-colonial israeli state first hand. Explosions,  gun fire, hundreds of tanks destroying ancient villages, curfews, check points and terror all to try to crush them and commit genocide against a people.

The Palestinian people never backed down.

That has always stayed with me, I was arrested and deported from the occupied land eventually. The Palestinian people will always have my solidarity and I will live my life to help bring down the empire that is one the main reasons their land continues to be occupied.
