Absolute Nonsense. Demonstrates how bankrupt EuroWestern Marxism remains when it comes to the colonial question. If, as Marx argues, wage-slavery requires real slavery as its pedestal, then the capital-labor contradiction is structurally premised upon the colonial contradiction https://twitter.com/JoshuaYJackson/status/1355649366145585153
As Eco-Marxism, and Indigenous Marxisms have clearly demonstrated, there are two principal contradictions - capital-labor relation and the colonial relation. The latter is significantly premised upon the invisible appropriation of value from Indigenous world-making (cont'd)
Thus, as labor contests capital at the point of production, so do Indigenous peoples, as nations located in distinct time and space, contest capital at the point of its appropriation of 'nature' (actually Indigenous worlds)...cont'd
Standing Rock, Wet'suwet'en, Grassy Narrows, and too many more to name in a single tweet, are in fact at the center of the struggle against colonial capital. Restoring Indigenous sovereignty is central to effectively contesting the property relation of capital
Rather than go through EuroWestern Marxism, follow the line of Mariategui, Cabral, Fanon, Amin, Morales, Claudia Jones, Haywood, @nickwestes - third world, Indigenous, and Black Marxisms
In response to the quoted tweet above, I think Mariategui's work is especially critical
