How Vietnam earned its world-renowned anticolonial standing | Aeon Essays

Vietnam’s potent and storied anticolonialism is founded upon a unique sense of national shame

Aeon

I was not born to kneel before any government.
I was not born to appease any politician.
I was not born to uphold the sickass status quo.
I was born to challenge all of the above.
I come from a long line of resistance warriors & will fight for justice for the oppressed humans & non-human living beings, as long as I'm alive to do so.
This is a lifetime personal commitment.
I take it very seriously.

«El Rol de la Psiquiatría en la Ocupación de Palestina» (Campaign for Psych Abolition)

Les compañeres de Polaris hicieron la traducción

“Traducimos y editamos en castellano (está en proceso una versión en gallego también) este fanzine publicado por la gente de CP Abolition, la campaña por la abolición de la psiquiatría y de los marcos occidentales en torno a la «salud mental».

#AntiPsiquiatria #Anticapacitismo #Antiimperialismo #Anticolonial

"The “South” often has the reputation of being a particularly reactionary, fascistic, and hostile place. But the brutality of this region has always been always been matched by the fierceness of those fighting against the social order from below. We seek to ground contemporary insurrectionary struggles in legacies of Black and Indigenous resistance and attack: the countless wars fought by Indigenous peoples against colonial expansion; the maroon communities which provided avenues of escape, survival, attack, and revenge against the plantation system; the slave rebellions that brought to life the darkest nightmares of the slaveholding class; the labor strikes and class warfare carried out by the most downtrodden workers; the riots and liberatory struggles of the sixties; and more recent prison riots and uprisings against the carceral system. An unbroken lineage of resistance carries us into the present moment and our struggle to stem the tide of fascism, and to thwart the intensifying efforts of the forces of domination to stamp out any possiblity of a free life."
