Mussolini’s War Upon East Africa – Marcus Graham (1935)

Reminder that the Western democracies sat back and allowed fascist Italy to commit genocide in Libya, invade Ethiopia, support the fascists in the Spanish Civil War, and invade Albania.

Libyan genocide (1929–1934) - Wikipedia

Something people will say sometimes is that the Italian fascists weren't as racist as the German Nazis. They never explain tho how Italians could do a genocide in Libya without being extremely racist.

Treaty of Fort Jackson - Wikipedia

Not a funny thing is that the Creek War and Treaty of Fort Jackson also happened under his watch, resulting in the theft of more than 20 millions acres of Native land.

Another funny thing about Madison, reminding us of the present day, is that he made braggart claims to Congress that the "reduction" (burning) of Toronto & the "prowess" of American soldiers (defeated in battle) around Montreal assured America of eventual victory (narrator: victory never came)

Since 2022, nearly 300,000 Ukrainian refugees have found safety in Canada. The choice to withhold the same offer of safety for Palestinian refugees is pure white supremacy culture. @liberalca.bsky.social should be ashamed of their blatant racism.

The colonization of Morocco was a major point of contention for the anarchist movement in Spain between 1909 and the civil war of the '30s, tho that is mostly forgotten in the rest of the world now. Spanish anarchists also concerned themselves then w/ European colonization of Palestine and Ethiopia

Canadian governments have poured $63M in subsidies into mineral exploration on Grassy Narrows territory, helping Kinross Gold push a project that threatens the Wabigoon River. Tax breaks for investors are undermining Indigenous rights and local waters while the province collects little in return.

Today's anarchists are so profoundly ignorant of their own history that they would call Makhno a tankie if they would study what he actually said and did, rather than just use his image for aesthetic, identity and branding purposes.

Despite this heavy betrayal, Makhno, in exile in 1927 wrote an article where he stated that the imperialism of the British (rather than that of the USSR) was the worst in the world (at that time.)

After the defeat of the White Army in Crimea, the Bolsheviks turned on the anarchists, attacking, killing and arresting many of them on November 26. The remaining anarchists fought on until August of 1921.

Madison was a slave-holding war hawk president who started the War of 1812 to annex Canada and thought Indigenous peoples were too interested in 'complete liberty' (according to Montlezun) but opposed the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798, so he might have mixed feelings.
