Review of Decolonial Marxism by Walter Rodney

A wonderfully modern revolutionary read. I think the main problem that most of the people i know see with communism is that it was supported by a bunch of stuffy old european men in a time before many of us had rights- rights that the communists barely addressed, if they did at all. Their words don’t squarely fit into our 21st century American perspective. Rodney points out that they don’t need to. The idea that marxism and communism are white western european ideologies are simply false unless you want them to be true, if that makes sense. Places that have adopted Marxism in some form, many of which were not white at all, took the theory and adapted it to their cultural and historical contexts. Of course Marx doesn’t make sense in 21st century USA: it was never meant to. That doesn’t mean that it can’t be taken and adapted to our needs. Saying Marx doesn’t work for us is the easy way out. The hard task we have is to implement a communist reality within the American historical context. That’s certainly not easy, but also not impossible.

Another thing that really stood out to me was Rodney’s strong criticism of “riding the line” He used the example of Senegal under Leopold Senghor - a man that decided the economy into three sectors (foreign, joint ownership, and a fully publicly owned sector). This is not communism and cannot even approximate communism because it still operates within and benefits from the white supremacist heteronormative ableist capitalist system. While when we try to play the world game, we do exactly what we are trying to avoid. To build something that genuinely functions as a communist society, we need to move past any dependence on capitalism in any form. In order to decolonize our societies, we need to move past any dependence on capitalism in any form.

I’ve had a realization similar in my own journey with theory which is as ive become more political i’ve given less of a shit about party politics. The movement is really happening on the ground in community building and what we are doing for each other. It’s also about making this theory more accessible (another criticism of Marx and stuffy old european men who can go fuck themselves). I just moved back to the US from spain and i was really weirded out by their government. They have a thriving communist party in the government. This was weird because communism is super persecuted in the US and is literally a prohibiting factor to enter the US as an immigrant and i had a very american perspective that governments everywhere felt that way BUT also. While spain is a relatively left ish country, it still participates in this colonial capitalist society. To me, it feels like a waste of time to send communists to work in the government when they could be directly helping people. Changing the working hours from 40 to 37 a week is great but if you believe in the fall of capitalism there’s more to do than that. Let the government fall into disarray around you and don’t lose sight of the goal with the piece of candy capitalism places in your mouth every once and awhile. We want to exist outside of it, not within it.

Evacuate Madrid, 1937

Vintage Propaganda Posters Of Spanish Civil War In 1937

The Spanish Civil War, fought from 1936 to 1939, was a complex conflict between the Republicans and Nationalists, both vying for control over Spain’s government and its future. The Republicans supported the left-leaning Popular Front government of the Second Spanish Republic and consisted of various socialist, communist, separatist, anarchist, and republican parties. On the other hand, the Nationalists were an alliance of Falangists, monarchists, conservatives, and traditionalists led by General Francisco Franco.

Katy Perry Faces Legal Issue regarding "Lifetime" Clip

Katy Perry’s most recent music video for “Lifetimes” has sparked unexpected controversy as it came to light that certain scenes were filmed on a protected beach in the Balearic islands. Despite Perry’s noble intention to showcase the beauty of nature through her artistic vision, the filming has inadvertently sparked concerns from the Spanish government regarding environmental preservation.…

the nost absurd take I saw was the person saying carlos did everything he could to help charles get.....

the pole in monaco

yes the pole. not even the win. the pole.

i saw that too 😭😭😭

u cant even argue with them, they are trying to crucify charles and saying they lost respect for him for being… angry that carlos disobeyed pre-established team orders (and not even for the first time!) they genuinely see charles as a doormat who is supposed to roll over for carlos. carlos’ mother can call charles an honourless rat & carlos can like posts slandering charles on main but god forbid charles get angry in response to carlos’ on track behaviour

“holding charles accountable” i think they should hold carlos accountable for being outqualified and outraced 5 races in a row

and just to get it out here, i cannot stand the narrative that carlos has the right to disobey the team because they didn’t renew his contract. acting as if ferrari owes him lifelong employment, and like, i know he’s a millionaire but he’s still getting paid, in the millions 💀 they also gave him his only poles and wins so really………

The situation in València is fucking surreal.... Hundreds of dead people, thousands of missing ones, the Government has stopped giving actual numbers, the military is barely offering any help, french firefighters offered to come help and our Government for some reason SAID NO. There's still ppl being pulled from the debris, the water is still everywhere, it's very dirty and a health hazard at this point. And don't get me started on the thousands of animals missing/dead. The people have had to mobilize themselves as per usual to get shit done. People from around the country are sending stuff that the valencians are asking for such as: gloves, masks, shovels, buckets, higiene products, medicine...

Like. Why were we more informed and more kept up to date with the Florida weather disaster than our own?

But oh thank god the king gave a speech uwu

I fucking hate this country.

Hello Chaos,

I'm the anon that told you about my father, he is still disappeared and it doesn't seem like he is going to be reported soon. The goverment isn't helping, nor the central nor the autonomic, we are only reciving the help from the people that come as volunteers, the goverments is telling them not to go as to not hindering heavy machinery and aid that is supposedly going to Valencia but is non-existent.

Our streets are still full of mud and broken things, our houses are distroyed, I'm sleeping in my friend's house because the water distroyed mine, and my family's small business, so I'm left with nothing, not even our car has survived, not even our father.

There are dead people who have not yet been removed from their homes, there are places where not even volunteers have reached, we are alone. There are already dead animals in the mud, which is still on our streets, which can cause diseases.

You know what our government does? Blame each other, calling each other fascists or communists, seeking to gain political advantage.

I'm very sorry, I know your blog is not for this, but we need visibility, because you find out about a hurricane days before, but we found out about the damage when we were up to our necks in water, when the water had swept my father away.

We need help. There are villages where French soldiers arrived before the Spanish, and the volunteers were sent to clean a shopping centre instead of the villages. This is a shameful situation and no one is taking responsibility.

I know your blog is not for this, but we are desperate, we need to be seen and heard, thank you very much for your attention.

I love you, Chaos, my dad's favorite movie was The Dark Knight.

Thank you.

SUPPORT FOR VALENICA

You have my attention anon.

I first want to say I am sorry for your traumatic experience and hardships, and thank you for exposing me to it. Just because we are oceans apart does not mean I will be ignorant to your cries. Forget about my blog rn, this is more important. Central Spain was hit by heavy flooding with barely any media coverage to bring awareness/attention to it.

Take the time to read what anon has shared. Support in anyway you can.

Anon, if you feel comfortable messaging me, please. I’d love to post any links or get some suggestions on how to spread this message further to help.

This isn’t right. This isn’t humane. We live in 2024 where aid should be readily available before, during, and after disasters. I do not want to take away from what anon already wrote. It speaks volumes in of itself.

THIS NEEDS TO BE SEEN AND HEARD.
