Colonizers: Y’all ain’t Running Shit After or During the Revolution.

There’s an annoying habit of “leftist” colonizers engaging in various forms of self-delusion as to how they are going to organize society in a post revolutionary scenario. They discuss whether or not there will be reparations, which “line” they’ve conjured out of thin air must be upheld, who needs to be shot, and generally acting as if the colonizer nation they represent and whose interests they wittingly or unwittingly represent will still exist or have self determination rights in a revolutionary scenario.

Let’s get a few things straight. Colonizers are not going to be running anything after the revolution. They will undoubtedly aspire to the return of the privileges they had under the capitalist-imperialist system, they will worm their way into the party to raise themselves up as a new bourgeoisie and reverse the revolutionary process. Can colonizers be Communists? Sure. Are most of those who currently call themselves such Communists? No. If they were, I would not consistently have to struggle for a basic modicum of decency and respect among those who call themselves comrades and allies of my people. Most colonizer leftists are not taken seriously by their own people, never mind ours, because they engage in various acts of stupidity and posturing and use stilted, stereotyped language. They seek to lead big things but ignore little things like the day to day concerns and struggles of the masses. They’re quick to show up with signs and newspapers when one of us gets shot seeking Instagram pictures but slow to engage with the people on basic things and work their way up. Most of their organizations are opportunist sects that mangle everything they engage in or remain carefully aloof from the real struggles of the people. How can such a people claim to be the most advanced or entitled to lead a revolution? Who raises leadership? The masses, not Communists. If white so called leftists and their cults are not taken seriously by their own people, who they should be organizing and disciplining in support of oppressed nationality people and against Yankee imperialism, why should we do what their own people won’t? I’d wager that the majority of the white working class, the same people that our colonizer comrades convince us have revolutionary potential, would not turn out to oppose war with Iran. They certainly haven’t been representing in the struggle against police murder and mass incarceration of my people.

Black comrades can attest to the various types of tokenism and blatant disrespect that our supposed comrades visit upon us every day. We’re expected to stroke their egos and thank them for not being fascists. They make feints towards supporting our struggles but when we criticize them they get in their feelings and complain that we’re playing “identity politics” or engage in other backflips. They also engage in constant emotional abuse and work us like dogs while they rush to claim credit for our work. This is a manifestation of plantation overseer mentality. They police our words and behaviors while making exceptions for themselves. They call our rage “temper tantrums”. They claim that our exposure of their opportunism and racism is “wrecking”. They’ve been wrecking us for 400 years, taking our lives and our sanity, yet their sects are holy.

Settlers can be communists, but they can’t act like settlers. They have to accept criticism. They have to transform and break with settler behavior, thoughts, and methods of work. This is a lifelong process. Most importantly they need to work among their people and struggle to transform them from a stumbling block to revolution into real comrades, under the guidance and leadership of colonized revolutionaries that are guided by revolutionary principles and theory. Colonized people who are in majority colonizer organizations should struggle for leadership and refuse to follow instructions and lines that are objectively detrimental to our people, and seize leadership from colonizers who fear our presence and our power. We are the revolutionaries, not them.
