In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

The cold is severe and unforgiving. The tent can no longer protect us, and we cannot live like this anymore. Nothing is easily available, and every day feels heavier than the one before. The nights are long, the cold is unbearable, and we have nothing to keep us warm or safe.

The bombing is still ongoing. Today, there are martyrs and many injured. There are no truces and no promises — we are constantly under fire, living in fear every moment.

Please, do not stop your donations. You are the lifeline for me and my family, our only hope to survive. We are in desperate need of your support now more than ever https://gofund.me/00439328

🇦🇷🔥 This is Manuel Adorni, the Argentine presidential spokesman, speaking at Casa Rosada.

In this clip, he explains recent deregulation affecting rural land. Foreign private entities are now allowed to purchase rural land, and long-standing protections on conserved areas are lifted once a fire passes through. Land that was previously protected for decades after a wildfire can now be reclassified and sold.

In practical terms, this means that pristine areas such as Patagonia lose their legal protection after a fire, opening the door to land sales that were previously prohibited.

This is an extremely serious policy shift. It links wildfires, deregulation, and land acquisition in a way that has profound consequences for environmental protection, land sovereignty, and public accountability.

The BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) is working now... I'm not surprised. Just Fascist playing with another Fascist.

Recently I got warned on Reddit for saying death to mullahs now I got banned for saying death to Zionism. These proves the fact that Reddit has no freedom of thought anymore, they're more fascist than Elon or Zuckerberg platforms.

Tbh, Discord has become heavily enshittified and false plaform-level bans would lose communication with fellow comrades. AI moderation is broken.

One of the alternatives in case someone gets falsely sitewide banned on Discord, is using Root, which is now in closed beta. I suggested about opening a Root community on their Discord server.

[THIS POST WAS ORIGINALLY POSTED ON REDDIT IN R/TankieTheDeprogram ON THE 10TH OF JANUARY 2026]

Hey guys,

I wanted to open up a Marxist (and actually leftist) discussion on the topics of decoloniality, decolonial authors, and decolonial academia more generally. Specifically, I am interested in whether decolonial theory and decolonial academics are politically useful for Marxists, or whether they function as an ideological dead end.

I avoided posting this in the critical theory sub because that space is very libbed up.

As you may already be aware of not all forms of decoloniality are Marxist.

Anyways I hope the questions I provided can open up a discussion on it, you can also add separate discussion points below. This Post should help Marxist and non-Marxist foster a better understanding of an actual leftist perspective of decoloniality.

Discussion questions:

  • Are decolonial academics genuinely contributing to anti-imperialist struggle, or are they using “decoloniality” as an academic smokescreen/vanity?

  • Do academics monopolize discourse while detaching colonialism from capitalism?

  • In some cases, does decolonial academia end up silencing the proletariat, and silence Marxist voices?

  • What are your thoughts on decoloniality?

  • What would an actual Marxist approach to decoloniality look like (both academic and in the IRL liberation movements)?

I would also love to hear people’s thoughts on the following decolonial authors (and feel free to add others):

  • Frantz Fanon

  • Walter Rodney

  • Olúfẹ́mi Táíwò

  • Walter Mignolo (I am aware he is not a Marxist. This might be a good case study for how decoloniality can become politically harmful)

I made an earlier post touching on this topic and postcolonialism, which you can find on both Reddit and Lemmygrad:
