quackademicThe phrase ‘globalise the intifada’ has become a strategic weapon for the far right.
Those influenced by demonisation of muslims hear ‘Arabic = all things bad = the Labor & the Greens want to introduce Sharia law’.
I hear ‘globalise the resistance to capitalist imperialism’.
The former is ignorance cultivated by misinformation, backed by Huge Money. The latter is the defining challenge of our time.
When those who wish to maintain systems of plunder & exploitation use our own words as weapons against us, how best to proceed?
This strategy has been used against oppressed groups forever. Maybe we can learn from all of them.
