first thoughts on amílar cablral’s theories of class suicide
how do you move out of the united states without bringing western imperialism with you?
hi hellooooooo!
this is a live I did a little over a week ago that documents my introductory thoughts on Amílar Cabral, who was a seminal revolutionary in the fight for Guinea-Bissau to belong to herself instead of violent Portuguese colonization. I really like this man!! Cabral didn’t consider himself a revolutionary philosopher (because he was too busy kicking Portuguese colonizers out of his homelands) but I am still happy he bothered to write down his blueprints.
The article we skimmed through:
That Thomas Sankara breakdown (also here on patreon, free):
then attached on the patreon are some other readings from Cabral direct in case you’re a freak like that. I think there’s an essay percolating here… but I need a bit more time to think and study.

Hi Ismatu 💕 I’m studying the history of revolution in the Philippines rn and this analysis is super helpful as to why the rev of 1898 failed!! I really appreciate hearing how this scales down to personal life. One point I wanna add to in the section you have about imperialism is that economic imperialism inevitably means warfare. Imperialism is the logical next step of capitalism, and imperialism must be upheld thru wars of aggression, war games, and the presence of military bases. The US is expanding into Asia pacific in order to build up to war with China, and US-led NATO is expanding into Africa by building up with the traitor ruling classes in various countries via AFRICOM
