Before we take a deeper dive into decolonization, let's have a peak at the opposite extreme since one extreme is being used to rationalize and push the opposite extreme.
Michael Higgins, the same author of that previous article about the Kamloops Graves wrote this other article entitled Trump's critics are addicted to fantasies of fascism.
So let's dissect the extremism before us. That delusional article states that "The opponents of U.S. President Donald Trump have been smearing him with the label fascist for years, but have always resorted to being inventive when producing the evidence. Instead of incendiary accusations, they should focus on winning elections." That is really f*cked up.
As I've said, in Trump's first term the fake news obsessed over him. They would defame him and misrepresent him, taking statements completely out of context and constantly called him a Fascist. Yet in his second term when he and his puppet master Netanyahu have defiantly embraced Fascism the fake news that used to deride Trump now all of a sudden sings his praises and completely misrepresents the atrocities he and Netanyahu are now committing.
Calling Netanyahu and Trump 2.0 Fascists is not an incendiary accusation. Condoning their atrocities is. Trump crossed the line in his second term when he started centralizing the government and became more fiscally irresponsible that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Then there's the expansionism.
Trump 2.0 and Steve Bannon both have a Napoleonic complex. They want to be seen as a strong conqueror like Genghis Khan. Yet the founding fathers were liberators not conquerors. Trump and Netanyahu's expansionism has been equated with Imperialism. Mick Wallace constantly refers to it was Western Imperialism. Yet that's not really what Imperialism was.
Don't get me wrong. I don't support Imperialism or Colonization. I'm just trying to be honest about what it was and wasn't. The first thing to note is that England wasn't the only country to practice it. They all did. England, France, Spain, Portugal, Holland. Colonization back then was more of taxation without representation. What Netanyahu is doing is genocide.
We are going to wipe you and your culture out completely and replace it with ours. People with an Agenda claim that's what Imperialism was but it wasn't really. Hong Kong had a lot more freedom under British rule than Communism.
For the most part, people want to break free of Imperialism and I recognize that. That was the intent of the American revolution. The Founding Fathers wanted to break free from Imperialism not become Imperialists. Trump 2.0 has flipped that intent.
So in many cases, Mick Wallace is absolutely right. What we now see from Netanyahu and Tump 2.0 is indeed Imperialism but it goes beyond that and embraces Fascism.
The struggle isn't between Fascism and Communism because both of those roads lead to the same place. The struggle is between freedom and slavery. That's what it's really about and the far left and the far right are both trying to sell slavery as freedom when it is anything but.
Trump 2.0 has completely embraced Fascism and this cult that denies it is no different that the ANTI Fascists who want to bring back Communism. That are both one and the same.
To prevent this from derailing the resistance, we have to clarify our definitions of Imperialism and Capitalism. We need to be honest about what it is and isn't just like we need to be honest about what Communism is and isn't.
They say the journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. Well the first step in our journey begins with defining the difference between conservative values and Neo Con objectives because they are completely different.
As I've said you can't unite with the far right without abandoning your core values. That article misrepresenting the people's concerns with Trump 2.0 has conclusively abandoned those values and is using lies to condone and promote atrocities. That's where we're at. We're using lies to condone atrocities.
