TOTW - Columbus? Nah, columbYOU!

Of His-story's biggest bastards, Columbus is surely up there with the worst.

Ol' Christopher was intimately documented through the opening chapters of Zinn's "A People's History" and has been taking the heat across schools, parks, local legislatures, forums, and social media ever since.

Acting as an agent of the Catholic Crowns to expand the reach of their Holy Empire, it is safe to say Columbus was not on the level with anarchists and was, in fact, an actual factual colonizer.

Night Owls #2: Summer of Sabotage

From It's Going Down

We must learn from the historical mistakes of anti-capitalist strategies that attempted to carve out autonomous spaces or build dual power without also going on the offensive against capital, white supremacy, and the rest of the colonial project. As the essay โ€œLand and Freedomโ€ notes in its discussion of the Back to the Land movement of the 1970s, โ€œthe profound need to overcome alienation and reencounter the world will never take us out of harmโ€™s way. If we go to the woods to find peace โ€” not inner peace but an absence of enemies โ€” weโ€™re doing it wrong. Life lived against the dictates of colonization is a life of illegality and conflictโ€ (Sever, Black Seed #1).

Cannibal Metaphysics on Immediatism Podcast

Anarchists have a troubled relationship with anthropology. Many of us are sympathetic to the enduring tribulations of people and worldviews that are indigenous in the onslaught of western culture's hegemony. Eduardo Viveiros de Castro is known for having offered, in the book Cannibal Metaphysics, a vision of anthropology as the "practice of the permanent decolonization of thought." He shows that "Amazonian and other Amerindian groups inhabit a radically different conceptual universe than ours -- in which nature and culture, human and nonhuman, subject and object are conceived in terms that reverse our own. (From the publisher's description)".
