Canadian Imperialists fear the ‘feasibility’ of Indigenous People’s War
posted by A-I.com Editor 1
Anti-Imperialism.com and its associates have long asserted the movement for national liberation of oppressed nations within settler-imperialist countries is the regional forefront of the global revolutionary movement. First Worldist vacillation between ignoring struggles for national liberation or sweeping them under the rug of a non-existent ‘multi-national’ [i.e., White-centered] grand movement for ‘socialism’ [i.e., social-imperialism] is the norm of First […]

Focusing in on Eco-Socialism
posted by A-I.com Editor 1
Eco-socialism is not merely a catch-phrase. Rather, it is the notion that any modern socialism must alter the structural productive relations both between classes of people and between people and the natural environment. In part, eco-socialism is a critical appraisal of 20th century socialism and its revisioning for modern times. Most importantly, the prospect of […]
