There is no revolutionary potential in the imperial core, my Maoist-third-worldist sympathies strengthen again.
Where I'm at. I love my org to death; but I'm under no illusions: my people are barely more than 10 percent of the population (12.6% as of 2022, I think), and more than half of them are brainwormed with the same settler-capital bullshit the crackers feed us all day in and day out. Settlers still murder us in the streets every other week; sometimes even walking up into our bedrooms to chalk us out!
But I'm supposed to want to open myself to organizing with more than just Black nationalist formations, in spite of that fact? You may as well ask a woman whether she'd rather be in the woods with a bear or a man again.
