End Racists.
Morning Comrades! A few organizational notes to keep everyone on the same page here, myself included. If you enjoy a more personal touch in addition to this newsletter and in replacement of the now defunct IG stories, please feel free to join us all over on the Black Lodges Telegram channel here.
There are plenty of new people here so here is a very brief explanation for you all how this thing here works. You get three emails a week from me, and if you opt for the paid addition - consider it like a patreon style set up - you get an additional email per week where I try and focus on very specific topics a well as a permanent discount code for any and all Black Lodges products.
On that note, tomorrow’s “special” email is going to focus on the revamped cold/hot war in Central / South America by the US with a closer look at the last few days on Cuba. Additionally, you will be getting your discount code and early access to this drop below.
Now, a few words on the fully expected Racism in England after the English team lost against Italy on Sunday. As vile as the explicit violence towards anyone note male and white was and I condemn it in the harshest possible ways, for legal reason this is where I stop on here, read that as you may, I am a little fucked off at the surprise / feigned shock and singularity on England here. This is Europe. This is our history. The same would have happened in any other European country, has happened and will continue to happen. The idiotic tribalist notions behind this are engineered and serve solely to divide. I am too exhausted to write out a basic high school history lesson of Europe but regardless, this is precisely why in 1932 the Anti-Fascist Action, the militant faction of the German Communist Party was founded. Some 80 years after Marx and Engels laid the groundwork for a global class analysis the only logical conclusion was the all encompassing Anti-Fascist movement. What we saw online and offline in England after the match is a regular, daily occurrence across Europe that manifests structurally and violently through every facet of our societies. Yes, it’s fucking horrific, morally wrong and deserves every ounce of energy to fight, individually, structurally and globally. I am by no means belittling what happened Sunday but let’s face the reality here: Racism has been an engineered tool of the 1% to stoke conflict resulting ever repeating Shock Doctrine style power & money grabs by the 1%. It is well over due that we get our shit together and assault this violence on every front and at the same time build a better alternative.
