October Revolution 2002-09-23, 11:43 a.m. In Fall- the streets of DC, and Denver, CO will erupt. The anti-capitalist, the anti-imperialist, the anti- colonialist, the anti-authoritarian, the anti-patriarchy, the anti- white supremacy movements will all take to the streets in these 2 cities. Both mobilizations are seen as part of the same convergence. That is, they are seen as the same struggle. Colonialism is always oppressive. Neocolonialism (i.e globalization) , like the old model of colonialism destabilizes and destroys culture. As Columbus did to the peoples of Turtle Island and Cuba- Mc Dicks, Nike, etc does to our sisters, and brothers in the global south. Furthermore, we are offering visible and actual solidarity to our comrades and allies in the global south; and challenging the legitimacy of these institutions. We can see why the anti-globalization movement's most visible contingent (and possibly most relevant) is the anarchists. There is an international movement against capitalism, and to some maybe that is enough. However if we do not recognize the totality of domination, we very well risk either becoming irrelevant and failing. The Columbus Day celebration is the celebration of all the horrible bullshit the institutions of globalization seek to impose. It is the celebration of a culture of domination. Columbus Day is the celebration of genocide, of our culture's war against wimmyn, against people of color, and the systematic annihilation of all things wild. Our society is infected. The world is in flames. The murders and pain suffered by the system of domination are immeasurable. Even today, the genocidal/ecocidal wars rage on. Our righteous anger is much over due. We have the power of there being a cohesive and articulate uprising against domination in general- for total liberation in October. Converge on Denver Oct 7-14th. Converge on DC Sept 27th-Oct 1st. and comrades, by all means, if you have the resources and time; converge everywhere you can! -Join us in October for an uprising against domination for total liberation. http://mob4lib.coloradicals.org [email protected] [email protected] http://mob4lib.coloradicals.org http://www.phoenixanarchist.org http://acc.coloradicals.org http://transformcolumbusday.org www.abolishthebank.org www.infoshop.org previous entries: Anyone? - 2008-01-24 Saturday Film Series at The Free Speech Zone - 2005-12-30 SLC? - 2005-12-21 Please Post - 2005-07-24 From ImpeachBush.org - 2005-06-20 New: Fill out the survey!
