That means fuck ECOWAS as a tool of the oppressors also. Critical support for ~~every~~ most coup(s) in Africa, and for the rights of Africans to demand the French and US militaries leave their country.

Critical Readings:

  • Neocolonialism by Kwame Nkrumah.
  • How Europe Underdeveloped Africa by Walter Rodney.
  • Rethinking Ownership of Development in Africa by T.D. Harper-Shipman.

Recommended readings:

  • Radical Markets: Uprooting Capitalism and Democracy for a Just Society by Eric A. Posner and E. Glen Weyl.

Supporting popular uprisings against neocolonial compradore regimes is tankie propaganda now? I’ll be sure to tell my entire Food Not Bombs group they’re all tankies, and that we can no longer practice anarchism anymore because some guy on lemmy says we’re tankies because we support the right of the African people to self-determine.

What praxis groups are you a member of that support the ousted government despite the popular support for the coups? I’d be interested in knowing, so I can be sure to never give material support to such a reactionary organization.

Edit: Also, two comments in three months, only one of which (this one) in 196. For being your community, you sure contribute a lot less than I and many others do.

you sound like you're in dire need of a shower and a grass touching session

as per your edit, i'm shy and also have better things to do than having twitter level discourse with annoying anarchists that whine about western imperialism while suspiciously getting defensive about russian influence in recent military coups (not popular uprisings) :^)

I definitely could use a shower, I woke up late today, but I touch grass every day on my way to feed the chickens before I go to work for the day, thanks for your concern. Usually I’m wearing shoes, but I’ve been trying to toughen the soles of my feet recently, so I go barefoot basically anytime I’m at home.
