As much as I love andor and rogue one for showing the banality and mercilessness of death (that one shot of a nameless dead man on the dirt of Ferrix in the season finale is amazing) a part of me wishes that Saw Gerrera would have survived just so we could get to see his reaction to Mon Mothma deciding to reestablish the republic as if it wasn't the very origin of the empire, especially after having seen Saw's "Human cultists. Galaxy partitionists. They're lost! All of them, lost!" line in Andor.

I just know there had to be a part of the former rebels that saw how going back to the republic that had allowed the empire to rise was the worst idea, people who like andor had been victims to the horrors and imperialism of that very republic long before it even took the name of "galactic empire", that there had to be people who knew that the first order was coming because it was the only thing the republic could possibly become.

I don't really like the sequel trilogy but I think it would be the most likely way for the resistance to have come to be, as a continuation of Saw's ideas. And it would be interesting to explore how Leia, former senator, daughter of a senator and friend of Mon Mothma, would realize the failure of neoliberalism and "democracy" and become so disillusioned with it that she would leave it and start anew in the resistance rather than keep trying to make a broken system work.

I'm honestly a bit surprised that Mon Mothma herself didn't reach that same conclusion. The scenes of her speaking in the Senate in Andor and having every word she says fall in deaf ears, the emptiness of it, the uselessness, it was just so jarring to see. None of it matters, none of it does anything, fixes anything. How anyone could see that and think that the only thing wrong with that system was the emperor sitting in the middle is beyond me.

But of course the sequels and post rebellion shows are what they are (a Disney-branded consumer product rather than a piece of art with a message) and instead of showing this very likely course of action for the birth of the resistance they chose to make it as devoid of real life inspirations and implications as possible (the new republic apparently is bad because... bureaucracy) and they instead redid the original trilogy without the context it originally had (Vietcong) because that had already proven to sell and was a guaranteed product and because delving into politics and showing a political message is too risky because you might lose your fascist costumers (that and because Disney itself is a monopolizing capitalist empire that has interests in enforcing imperialism).

Anyway I love Andor and Rogue one they are the best star wars by far I need more shows and films by people who actually do their research when they write about revolutions and who aren't afraid of hearing the word politics.

I think the case for Andor being the most subversive Star Wars text lies not in the righteous framing of anti-imperial and anti-fascist violence, but in Nemik's use of "Try" in his manifesto. In one a scene from The Empire Strikes Back, Yoda is training Luke to use the Force and tells him to levitate his X-Wing from the bottom of a swamp. To this, Luke, still in his head-empty himbo era, says he'll "try." Yoda, in one of the most oft-quoted lines from the original trilogy, replies:

Now, I can't speak to this concept's importance to Force-use, but as political praxis it leaves much to be desired. To not try is to inhibit one's ability to affect change on the world--exactly what a state-sanctioned order of priest cops would want, but that's another post. Go listen to A More Civilized Age for more on that. 

I think Nemik's call to "Try" is a core theme in Andor, just as "Hope" was core to Rogue One (both texts use the metaphor of a spark to light the fire). There are key differences between these texts, however, and these differences reflect a larger ideological rift between Andor and most other Star Wars properties. 

Hope is something abstract and immaterial and, like the Force, it is in short supply among subjects of empire (both real and in Star Wars). While they may require Hope to sustain them past a certain point, revolutions are not built on Hope, they are built on the righteous anger of people who will not take it anymore. Let's take a look at an absolute banger line in Andor:

It's easy for the dead to tell you to fight, and maybe it's true, maybe fighting is useless. Perhaps it's too late. But I'll tell you this, if I could do it again, I'd wake up early and be fighting these bastards from the start.

Are these hopeful words?

No! Maarva isn't calling on her community to fight because she has believes that they can defeat the Empire, she wants them to fight because that's what you do when the fascists come to town. It's a desperate, almost defeatist (revolutionary defeatist...? wait, no that's something else), call to action devoid of any real forethought. She's telling them to try, to act, regardless of whether some magical force will help guarantee their success a la the original trilogy.

Andor is filled with desperate people striking out at the Empire in small ways, knowing they may fail: the Aldhani crew on their suicide mission, Brasso protecting B2 and then braining that trooper with Maarva's brick, Wilmon building his bomb, Kino committing to the breakout knowing he can't swim from a prison he knows is surrounded by water.

It is these individual acts that build into pockets and then networks of solidarity, enabling disparate communities to carry out anti-imperial praxis from anywhere, whether that be mutual aid, sabotage, theft, or militant attacks. This is how revolution begins. As Nemik writes:

It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy. There are whole armies, battalions that have no idea that they've already enlisted in the cause. Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

...

Remember this. Try."

Whether you're Separatists, Neo-Republicans (dni), Ghorman Front, Partisan Alliance, Sectorists, Human Cultists (gross), Galaxy Partitionists, to do, you must try.

You may not succeed, but you must try.

In summary, Luke should have punted that little goblin into the swamp.

Since you mentioned it, I think that Irish folk tale actually concerns a vanishing Island? Not quite the same as a vanishing town or village ik.

While I do live in Ireland (the north still counts, partitionists can shut up and die) I don’t know much about Irish Celtic folklore or mythology.

But I do know about stories of an island called Hy-Brasil. Not quite the same but it’s the closest thing I could think of to what you suggested.

Also I swear Wikipedia mentioned that it was brought up in an episode of Fringe. But I watched the entire series (John Noble was INCREDIBLE in it. He’d be a wonderful Doctor) and it wasn’t even mentioned there once.

Maybe the editor misremembered or I imagined it.

Idk.

Odd stuff.

oh hmm! interesting. the story i remember was from a book of tales, possibly a very old one (i keep company with quite a few old tomes), and i believe it told of a place in the bog that only appeared every few centuries. i don't recall much beyond that. it could be related.

It's darkly ironic that the flag of the Arab Revolt was actually designed by Tory imperial diplomat Mark Sykes, he of Sykes-Picot partitionist infamy.

[dialogue-queered]

Comment: In the fog of war and conflict, no facts reported in the media can be taken for granted, even in prestige journalism. But Freedland's point that 'maximalists', 'absolutists', on each side of the underlying conflict between the Israeli government and Palestinian peoples, beget more violence so as to disrupt compromise solutions, is a commonplace but still useful point. This in no way lets those seeking to disrupt, violently, (especially re: atrocities), off the hook, whether entailing direct or structural violence.

Extract 1: Senior Hamas official Ghazi Hamad told Lebanese TV that his organisation was determined to repeat the massacre of 7 October, when the men of Hamas murdered some 1,400 Israelis, most of them civilians, torturing and maiming their victims in ways too cruel to recount. Hamad promised that 7 October was “just the first time, and there will be a second, a third, a fourth”. He was asked if Hamas was bent on Israel’s annihilation. “Yes, of course,” he replied.

It was as clear an answer as Israel could have hoped for as it seeks to explain why it cannot lay down its arms until Hamas is rendered incapable of doing again what it did four weeks ago, arguing that Israel should be granted as much leeway as the US (and UK) granted themselves when they set about the destruction of Isis.

The result has been an Israeli onslaught that has already taken some 9,000 Gazan lives, destroying entire families at a stroke. Though in explaining that appallingly high figure, here too Hamas offered some assistance. One Hamas official was asked by a TV interviewer if the organisation’s more than 300-mile network of underground tunnels could not perhaps shelter civilians. No, no, the Hamas man explained: “The tunnels are for us [Hamas]. The citizens in the Gaza Strip are under the responsibility of the United Nations.”

Extract 2: Perhaps the Hamas men felt they had a favour to return to Netanyahu. After all, he had done them more than one good turn, notoriously telling a 2019 meeting of his own Likud party – in words reported and never denied – “Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas … This is part of our strategy.”

Extract 3: [T]he contest that matters most is the battle of hardliners v moderates, or, to be more specific, maximalists v partitionists: those who insist on having the whole land for themselves v those who are ready to share it.

Extract 4: For Israel to pursue the two-state solution, which Netanyahu has spent nearly three decades working to render impossible, will require an end to the settlement project in the West Bank and the concession of territory. It will be an argument between those who believe the land has to be divided between the two peoples, and those who want all of it.

In a way, it will come down to a referendum over the meaning of 7 October and, indeed, of the last decade and a half. The partitionists will say that 7 October proves that the approach of recent years – leaving Hamas in place and allowing it to build up a fearsome arsenal; weakening the moderates of the authority by closing off a return to negotiations; expanding settlements and entrenching the occupation of the West Bank – has clearly failed to protect Israelis. The maximalists will say that it was Israeli withdrawal from Gaza in 2005 – pulling out every soldier and settler – that allowed Hamas to flourish and led to mass slaughter.

Extract 5: The only long-term solution is two states side by side. The only short-term solution for Gaza is a plan that promises Palestinian statehood. Every step of the way, the men on both sides who want the whole land for themselves will be on hand to derail progress – and, though sworn enemies, they will aid each other in that shared mission. It is a gruesome waltz they do together, this dance of death. Those on both sides who believe in compromise will not be able to fight them alone. They will need allies – including those taking to the streets who call themselves progressives – and the help of a world that finally decides it has seen too much bloodshed and cannot bear to see any more.

You Know Andor is Not Anti-Capitalist, Right?

One of the many hills I'm going to die on is that Andor barely has a whiff of anti-capitalist themes in the text. Anti-fascist, for sure, but not anti-capitalist.

The reason it seems like I'm obviously wrong here is the prison on Narkina-5 seems like a criticism of for-profit prisons. And look, my politics are such that if you see common threads and think about for-profit prisons and think worse of them, sure, that's great. But it appears to be a public prison (or at least, it's ambiguous) and it's certainly creating public goods for the fascists. The only people we see benefit from Andor's labor are not capitalists, but the fascist state itself. To read it as a criticism of for-profit prisons in modern Democracies is to bring whole dimensions to the text that are unsupported and sometimes even contradicted by that text. It's well done, but the literal criticism is of fascist work camps in service of fascist armies; to be clear, it absolutely rules as anti-fascist art. With a bit of work you can make it comment on capitalism metaphorically, and while I think that intent is bouncing around in there, to make it work well you have to say 21st Century America is like a prison camp and, hmm...I think Andor is doing better than that.

And that's it! People were really impressed with the fact that there were for-profit cops in the first few episodes, but---to the writers' credit---they did not suggest a cozy relationship between capital and fascism. As soon as the rent-a-cops were not useful, they were relieved of duty by the Empire. The text is so disinterested in capital that they don't really talk about the economic consequences of that, but otherwise this is a savvy read of fascism: The real fascists left their capitalists allies out to dry all the time. And Andor doesn't get into it, but capital as a class did worse under fascism because for every Preox-Morlana there were several losing firms.

The main employer throughout the show is actually the fascist state, which is arguably a feature of the story they are trying to tell, but it is a fair representation of the fascist ideal. Preox-Morlana isn't some capitalist dream company either, but rather rent-seeking* off the security powers of the state. In isolation you can read that as anti-capitalist, but again, the text isn't super interested in the capitalist part, but the fascist power part!

I'm interested to see what they do with Mon Mothma's criminal banking storyline next year, but again, this undermines the supposed anti-capitalist storyline as told so far. She needs capital to fund The Rebellion and she's making deals with people outside the fascist state to do it. This certainly isn't pro-capital either because we're not supposed to see these compromises as good. But that's my point: Far from being ideological, it's about the realities of money for uprisings and the compromises people have to make to fight fascism. I'm really impressed that it's avoided ideologically easy answers for her story! (Now, they should sharpen her plot structure for the second season, but that's a whole different post.)

The last reason I'm not willing to see Andor as clearly anti-capitalist is that the show peeks at the ideologies of the people involved in The Rebellion through Saw Gerrera. They are diverse: Separatists, Neo-Republicans, Partisan Front, Sectorists, Human Cultists, and Galaxy Partitionists. What's interesting is that the first is not only capitalist, but the bad kind of capitalists who seized Naboo in Episode I and warred against the Republic during the Clone Wars. The Neo-Republicans want to bring back the Republic, which had substantial capitalist institutions. Yet Gerrera himself with the partisans is an anarchist, almost certainly (but not textually!) against a post-Empire capitalism.

The dialogue about these factions is literally ambivalent: Gerrera is arguing they are "lost", which I think we're to take to mean he wants an ideologically pure revolution. Luthen, whose character has a whole monologue elsewhere about the compromising nature of anti-fascist work, is arguing that the factions have to put aside their differences. Giving Gerrera the refutation and not, say, the remnants of the Trade Federation is not a coincidence; the show is sympathetic to anti-capitalist thought. But from every angle--Luthen's monologue, the fact the Neo-Republicans win, the ambivalence about capitalism elsewhere--the show is suggesting Gerrera does not have the luxury of his own idealism.

The thing the show Andor understands really well is that fascism is totalizing: It comes to touch every facet of every life it rules over and demands they all be bent towards its ends. Capitalism is no exception. The show has no great love for capitalism; there are no good companies in the Galaxy. But even the most evil company we see, Preox-Morlana, is ultimately an (unsympathetic) victim of the fascist state. The prison we see benefits no capitalists. Public employees are prominent. The nascent Rebellion gets in bed with criminal bankers. The worst capitalists from the prequels are opposing the Empire. The Free World in the 30s and 40s had no time and space to oppose capitalism because fascism held all that ground, and though not all its characters see that for the Galaxy, the show does. The show makes no effort to show capitalism as a good alternative to fascism, but it is emphatically not anti-capitalist.

*This is a technical term growing out of Adam Smith's analysis of when a firm gets much of its value from a legal arrangement with the state. The history is that titled nobles would charge rents for capitalists to use the land the crown gave them, typically for coal mining in Smith's day. Preox-Morlana is "mining" the power to enforce the law from it's relationship with the Empire.

Me again (HC guy), yeah I dont give a shit about Eurovision, being an Irishman (I'm from the North but it still counts! My passport makes that quite clear for any small-brain partitionists) I know apparently we dominated it in the 90s, somehow. Not that I care. I think Lower Decks should do an episode where all federation species on the Cerritos have to do like a Eurovision cultural exchange thing, which goes to complete shit. It just seemed funny to me. "KAYSHON! WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED!". WDYT?

Oooh, yeah, that would be fun! I think it would be a good way to explore smaller aspects of different planets' cultures. Like, is Lwaxana the only Betazoid who dresses like that?

Me again.

Got another political question.

How long do you expect it’ll take before FFG start resorting to making up fake controversies to distract from their incompetence.

By which I mean bitching about wokeness and trans people. I think they’re slowly going down that path already, combined with their creeping anti-intellectualism.

Speaking of which apparently today is the anniversary of the death of Bobby Sands so I expect their internet trolls will be out in force to demonise the shit out of Irish republicanism once again.

Irish Republicanism has at least changed and adapted with the times for the sake of pragmatism, while the partitionist dinosaurs are just bandwagoning.

In my mind.

What do you think?

"How long do you expect it’ll take before FFG start resorting to making up fake controversies to distract from their incompetence." They are already at it, especially now that they cannot hide the fact they refuse to do genuinely helpful things for the population and instead prefer to play politics against Sinn Fein, by being snide and childish in the Dail. Give it to the end of the year, when I'll see them jumping fully on the "anti woke" bandwagon. I don't think they will be as blatant as US or UK politicians, but they will do the anti woke stuff. Already, they are humming and hawing over abortion, as in the issues being raised surrounding the service or lack thereof, while the "pro life" groups are being vocal.

"Speaking of which apparently today is the anniversary of the death of Bobby Sands so I expect their internet trolls will be out in force to demonise the shit out of Irish republicanism once again.

Irish Republicanism has at least changed and adapted with the times for the sake of pragmatism, while the partitionist dinosaurs are just bandwagoning." Ah, that explains the crap fest in r/Ireland. I bet if I were to go onto FB I'd see whining under every Sinn Fein post or posts by Sinn Fein politicians and adjacent people.

Something seems to be missing from this map of Ireland.

What could it be?

Oh!

That’s right.

Two thirds of an entire province.

Gone! As if they’d never existed.

Oh look! Donegal suddenly has another coastline!

Fucking hell!

Can’t stand seeing that shit.

Guess the north doesn’t exist in the blinkered world of partitionists!

I guess that means I don’t exist either! *fades away*

I don’t use accommodation on campus at university myself. Mainly because of my poor social skills. Plus I’ve heard some horror stories about it. On an unrelated note Ireland also has a SERIOUS revisionist problem, where the media gives voices to neo-colonial thinkers and partitionist idiots who think a United ireland shouldn’t happen and that people like me should suck it up. They’ve never had to live under a military occupation? They’ve gone soft in the brain. So ignore them I say.

That's fair enough, I didn't find any of the horror stories to be true but it was kinda annoying sometimes. And agreed, fuck the unionists. Honestly as a Brit they're so far-right and stupid I don't think we even want them! If they want to not be Irish so bad I guess they should just let the Catholic bits go be part of Ireland and then form the State of Bootlickerdom.

Essay II: From “White Zombie” to “American Dream”

The image of the zombie today strays far from its origins in slavery. Originally, they were simply African slaves, considered to be mindless beings working about their master’s land solely for survival. Now, they are monsters that epitomize the sinful undead, reanimating a past life and essentially following the course of survival without remorse. It is interesting to see how zombies have changed over the years but to observe this remarkable and symbolic change, a look at its origin must be analyzed.

The historical center of the zombie originates from North America’s turbulent and controversial past with slavery. As early as the time of Christopher Columbus, discovering this new continent meant discovering a new society and creating a new livable area.  As colonies form all over Europe began to cross the Atlantic Ocean, it became widely apparent that it wasn’t easily feasible to start their lives over. Therefore, in the mid-sixteenth century the Transatlantic Slave Trade began and lasted about 366 year until the abolition of slavery in the 1860’s. Through its course, roughly 12.5 million slaves were stolen from Africa and brought to the America’s for pure, no-strings-attached labor (“Transatlantic Slave Trade.”). Truly, it was the Caribbean colonies who mastered and succeed in slavery. In one of the most famous colonies of Saint-Dominique in Haiti; sugar and coffee thrived but they needed the labor to make it a worthwhile business. This is where the paradigm of slaves as plantation workers started and how the idea transcended across American colonies.

As African slaves were literally stolen from their tribes, a plethora of cultures and ideologies were forced into a religious coalition. This new African culture also had to adapt to their white slave master’s religion of Roman Catholicism (Batista). A strange hyper-religion formed and collectively spread across the new-found colonies. One in particular was the New Orleans colony, originally famous for the religion of Voodou which transcended the Haitian hyper-religion. As Voodou was popularized in the late 1700’s, the cultural spiritualities began to emerge. It is these spiritualities and cultural beliefs of Gods and Goddesses that cross over to present day that make legitimate Voodou partitionists a sign of the original zombie.

Analyzing a 2013 Vice short documentary of a Voodou priestess in Haiti, she practices and advocates the originally religion. In short, she celebrates the dead in a manner that brings them back to her own body, allows them to take over, and personifies their energy into a crowd. From the video she states, “I feel proud and happy because I’m going to see the most beautiful things tonight.” (Broadly). Although what she felt in that moment was pure euphoria, it is easy to see how “Voodoo” can be seen as devil worship.

“Voodoo” spelt in this form, is meant to represent the racists, ignorant version of the religion. Viewing the ceremony, an outsider would be fearful of the strange out of body experience these people were experiencing. It is also easy, then, to connect this to stereotypes of “voodoo dolls” and controlling of another person. Victor Halperin’s 1932 film White Zombie is a perfect example of this (Halperin). As the film was the first American Zombie film, it capitalized on the slave history and compares them directly to zombies. In the film Bela Lugosi’s character, Murder Legendre, charms the character of Madeline Short by using a “voodoo doll” vaguely into her shape. The charm over powers her when he simply puts his hands together as seen on the cover of the film. Doing so adds some action and visible effect to an otherwise unseen power that “voodoo dolls” stereotypically have today. Also, with movies becoming a new thing, a simple action was most likely necessary as viewers could’ve been confused by the intent of the director to simply infer that the “voodoo” effects were taking place. This stereotype creates fears among the Voodou religion which cause people to stray away from it. It is a fear of experiencing a lack of control in a society where that shouldn’t happen.

Analyzing this out of body experience further, we have to take a look at the term “zombie”. The word “zombie” can be traced back to several cultures with their own definitions. In West African culture for example, it was derived from the original term “fetish” (zumbi) which meant “spirit” or “god”. From the Louisiana Creole culture, the term “jumbie” meant ghostly shade. Similarly, with the area being largely French as well, their term they used was “les ombres” meaning shadows (Moreman). What all these terms have in common is that they are not tangible which is interesting because according to Benjamin Radford of livescience.com, he identifies zombies in today’s culture to be “the vital human force leaving the shell of a body, and ultimately a creature human in form but lacking self-awareness, intelligence and a soul.” (Radford). With original terminology stating that “zombies” were the soul, it is interesting to see that the current image of the zombie is the lack of the soul and what makes us “human”.

Therefore, having an out of body experience and experiencing a state in which the person lacks a mind soul is their lack of control. The term zombie is not only a mindless, brain-craving monster nowadays but could be generalized to the public. A plethora of states of being put us in a lack of control when we think we have it. For example, we think we control our lives as it is our decision to go to work but is it really? There are six possible motivation theories in our lives that cause us to act in a certain way. Evolutionary focus focuses on our instincts, drive reduction focuses on our needs creating drives that makes us act in order to fulfil that drive, optimum arousal, cognitive approach which focuses on rationality, Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, and incentive theory (Benjamin). In the contemporary society that we live in, we can eliminate evolutionary theory, drive reduction, and Maslow’s hierarchy because they focus on the basic needs when referring to work. It is possible that we go to work to experience optimum arousal but speaking from personal experience, nine out of ten times that is not the case. The cognitive approach and incentive theory are the two that I believe make us want to go to work. We understand that we must make rational decisions to allow us to find a career and become monetarily successful. The incentive for going to a job, at it’s least, being financial reward. In this way, I believe that Americans are a new form of zombies that reincarnate the Haitian slave zombies but society has made it seemingly okay for us to have to work tirelessly to form the idea of success in our mind. Today, zombies are the working-class Americans which have no race, no color, and no master but their own minds and society itself.
