    Us Anarchists are listening, you have forgotten us, it's not about whether socialism or communism works, it's about hierarchical corruption due to moral and spiritual ignorance. If the government loves the people and the people love the system, and it's an effective institution, then it can last indefinitely. And BTW COVID was a scam, and if your friend wants to debate I will , over half the Left is with me, I have ethnobotany background. Five years at university ,including biology and microbiology as part of the curriculum. Solarpunk Anarchist.

    Addendum to my, admittedly quite tangent, chat about the death of small subsistence farming in the Bavarian region i grew up, besides the industrialized mega crop farm there was also a ginourmous pig farm with 1600 pigs and spraying their waste in tons on the fields poisoned the water with Nitrate so my mom and all other citizens had to pay several thousand Euro to drill a new well, the community didn't have the funds. It burned down though.
    The main crop is corn now and not even mainly for feeding anymore but to ferment the "biomass" in huge tanks they built for Methane that is than burned as "Renewable energy", that is the German "German Green Energy Wonder", it's a hoax

    Its not only the Israeli people who don't know who they are. It's every single non native person on native land. you MUST say this to your white comrades as well. All of them. They are all our colonizers and get NO forgiveness. Americans and Canadians. All who aren't native, are colonizers and subject our people to imperialism.

    Kia Ora, great to hear and see Alex Reid's strong spirit. Yes they need to think of Decolonisation as Revolution. The scale of things may be greater but the targeted racism, the despair, gangs, drugs, violence etc etc are all the same. I've worked a bit in Maori TV Film and have been privileged to host many Turtle Island Directors and Creatives and the endless horror stories and the spirit to overcome this is always in my mind. That none of these pampered Colonial USA Canada Leftists are helping formulate a real Revolutionary State Plan built on reviving Native Sovereignty IS HORRIFYING, yet spend massive amounts of energy building their capitalist entertainment platforms We have these middle class white Colonial Canadians & Americans washing up now, crying about how sad it is for them, waving leftist things but stealing our Maori Sovereignty Slogans to attack our REAL MAORI TRIBES AND MAORI SOVEREIGNTY for their own vanguard colonial fantasy. Pretending some Maori 'band or council equivalents' are evil elites when its the only thing available to build any services upon. Whether Trotskyist frauds or CIA agents, they can only be seen as Colonial Enemy Factions. Why arent they in Turtle Island fighting for you guys and the endless pain I know goes on in Reservations etc. People enduring the Euro Colonial massacres of their people in West Asia etc are in a different positiion and loved, but this 2-faced white colonial leftist thing is inexcusable. They have no moral foundation without fighting for Native Sovereignty first and foremost. I cannot stand it. Do we have to smash these ones in as well as the right wing colonials??!! It drives me insane. Are they just conditioned or is it Colonial Strategy? I cant even share the personal stories I've heard from people in Turtle Island. Or here. Sorry for ranting again. I cannot stand it. They are literally comodifying their own Colonial Genocide they pay tax for, while acting all smug about completely ignoring their duty to fight with all the resources around them beside Natives. NOw they're running away here!!!?! The Colonial USA Canada fraud left needs a wake up, they should be in the reservations helping educate and build an new foundation!! Aue. Kia Kaha. Stay Strong!

    Colonisation is the primary contradiction and can only be resolved by the violent overthrow of the colonial system by the working class and led under the leadership of First Nations. This is my political commitment. Thank you both for sharing your knowledge. We need far more of the conversations globally with the western working class.
