The United Kingdom has returned 32 gold and silver treasures stolen from the Asante Kingdom more than 150 years ago in what is today’s Ghana on a six-year loan, Ghanaian negotiators have said. The artefacts, comprising 15 items from the British Museum and 17 from the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A), were looted from the court of the Asante king during the turbulent 19th-century clashes between the British and the Asante people. Ghanaian authorities have for years tried to reclaim gold treasures looted by British soldiers from the Asante kingdom, which is also known as Ashanti.

are you ugly or have you just internalized white beauty standards?

are you stupid or have you just internalized white intellectualism?

are you lazy or have you just internalized white ideas of productivity?

reframe how you think of yourselves and each other outside of capitalism and colonialism

"When the British Empire occupied Palestine and set about implementing the Balfour declaration, the fossil fuel of the day was not coal. It was oil. Promising deposits had been located in the countries bordering the Persian Gulf, and the central industrial project of the Mandate came to be the pipeline that brought crude oil all the way from Iraq, across the northern West Bank and the Galilee, to the refinery of Haifa. The Mandate as such cannot be understood outside the deepening control over the region in the pursuit of oil; and the Mandate used oil to reallocate land from Palestinians to Jews. In his forthcoming Heat: A History, a wonderfully rich history of high temperatures and fossil fuels in the Middle East, On Barak shows, among many other things, how the Yishuv wrested citrus production from Palestinians by linking up with the most modern circuits of technology: irrigating their orchards with fossil-fuelled pumps, loading their fruits on lorries, sending them over roads to ports, offloading them onto steamers to the European market – a symbiosis with the fossil empire by which the natives could be squeezed out of their iconic citriculture. The Mandate authorities systematically privileged the building of roads between colonies. Oil-based infrastructure tilted Palestine in the direction of the settlements on the coastal plains and further towards their patrons on the other side of the ocean."

I know it can feel like clicking once a day isn’t doing anything. I know it can feel like every call and email sent to your reps is falling on deaf ears. I know it can feel like boycotting is pointless when Israel is still getting dozens of billions from the US. I know donating can feel cruel when Palestinians get shot on their way to aid trucks.

But we have to do something. Every video by Bisan and other reporters shows us Palestinians getting food and clothes and something to get them through the day. Every protest is bringing attention to a genocide that so many choose to ignore. During the Holocaust, during every slave revolt, during South Africa’s apartheid that mirrors Israel’s, just voicing support for Jews or for abolition meant something.

Even if it doesn’t feel like it right now. If your clicks and reblogging donation links means a little boy gets to smile and celebrate (below), if that’s all you can do right now, it’s always- always- better than nothing.

April 25, 1974: Today marks the 50th anniversary of the Carnation Revolution in Portugal, the opening of an enormous class battle that was profoundly influenced by the anti-colonial liberation struggles in Africa. ----------------- Sam Marcy, writing in 1975:

“A Communist takeover of Portugal,” said the New York Times on February 17, “might encourage a similar trend in Italy and France, create problems in Greece and Turkey, affect the succession in Spain and Yugoslavia and send tremors throughout Western Europe.” The Soviet Union is then warned that “détente will be the first casualty.”

In the face of brutal frankness and open threats, can there be any doubt that the imperialist powers are preparing the ground for another Chile on the Iberian Peninsula? Do not the working class parties have the right – in fact the sacred duty – to prepare the mass of the people in advance for precisely this eventuality in the kind of manner which would put an end not merely to fascist threats, but to the ruling class and the system of exploitation upon which it rests?

The way Lenin and Trotsky prepared for the Constituent Assembly in 1917 offers an exceptionally instructive lesson. While utilizing all the legal and electoral opportunities offered, the Bolsheviks, knowing full well the counter-revolutionary nature of the bourgeoisie, armed the masses ideologically, politically, and physically for the insurrection. It was thus that they put an end to bourgeois rule and transferred the real power into the hands of the workers and peasants.

when a country is attacked with 5, what other choice does it have but to return the favor as 5000? it's the deepest philosophical inquiry ever. omfg, my brain can not handle the complexity of it. indeed, some countries will even retaliate the 5 with 10,000! soooo, 5000 is not even that much….. the united states is a warmongering and exploitative country and we all know the lies they said about iraq, we all know how they were the ones fostered islamists against soviet union and those islamists later evolved into al-qaeda. freaking united states and its actions cannot be ethical standards.

also: omfg! the people you attack every year with 500 attacked back with 5? of course there's no other choice than replying that with 5000.
