The Amerikkkan electorate: militarist and chauvinist

raims.wordpress.com

U$ imperialists, of both parties, appeal to the chauvinism and militarism of the Amerikans this election cycle.  Then again, our readers will be asking by now, “What’s new?”  For the past couple years, talking heads and ideologues from both of the main partisan wings of the US system have been rallying their respective “bases” in preparation for the contentious midterm elections.  In just the past few weeks, the imperialist media had been inundated with political ads and substanceless, vitriolic rhetoric.

On the Republican side, their Amerikan grassroots “Tea Party” movement has whipped up a white chauvinist frenzy right in time to derail the “Obama phenomenon.”  In the midst of this racist uprising by the recently dispossessed Amerikan settler white nation, the favorite target has been migrant labor from Mexico.  The most egregious example of the consequences of this radical reaction is the “Papers, please” legislation in Arizona, on Mexican land stolen by Amerika no less! (1)  Fast forward over 160 years later, and over 70% of Amerikan are in favor of some similar draconian and fascist legislation. (2)  Another side-effect was the recent inflammation of Amerikan chauvinism against Islam in general, which had exceeded levels beyond anything seen during the Bush era. (3)

On the Democratic side, the Obama-lovers are attempting to paint the Republicans as “shipping Amerikan jobs overseas.”  (4)  This thinly-veiled “pro-labor” racism serves to merely shift the chauvinism of Amerikans towards Latinos, to chauvinism directed towards Asians.  To pile onto this chauvinism, the White House itself is attempting to paint their GOP opponents with the “Chinese money” campaign corruption card.  (5)  As if US imperialism hasn’t attempted to influence political processes by whatever means, monetarily or militarily, worldwide.

The two political parties of US imperialism aren’t just battling over who Amerikans should be more chauvinist against.  They are also battling for Amerikan public opinion over which Muslim-majority country to invade and occupy.  The Republicans’ latest superstars have been some the most fervent Zionists, with a warmonger’s eye towards toppling the Islamic Republic of Iran.  The Democrats’ “common-sense” militarism has its eyes toward continuing the existing occupations in Iraq and Afghanistan in a “non-direct, supervisory form,” as well as continuing the incursions into Pakistan.  Long gone are the anti-war voices from the political spectrum, from either “libertarian” Republicans or “progressive” Democrats.  One Tea Party-backed congressional candidate in North Carolina includes a US pig soldier suspected of killing two unarmed civilians in Iraq. (6)  On the other side, Democrats in Washington State appeal to the votes of “workers” from Boeing, a major imperialist arms manufacturer.  One such political ad, from a Democrat no less, makes a simultaneously chauvinist and militarist appeal to Boeing workers.  The ad says, in essence, that Amerikans should continue to be paid handsomely for building and maintaining the imperialist war machine. (7)

What else is new with politics in the US empire?  Certainly not the brain dead response of the First World so-called “left” to Amerikan elections.  The constant meme coming from them states that the top two imperialist parties don’t really represent the “will of the [Amerikan] people.”  The supposition here is that the Amerikan so-called “masses” are inherently progressive (if not “revolutionary”) in their majority. (8)  Nothing could be further from the truth.  One question for our First Worldists:  If Amerikans are so inherently “progressive,” why do the two top imperialist parties pour billions of dollars into filling their airwaves with this chauvinism and militarism? (9)

A “democracy” that does not represent the will of the world’s oppressed and exploited majority is not democratic in any real sense.  Bourgeois democracy in the First World seeks to affirm the unity of the imperialist populations against the global majority.  RAIM struggles for a world where the needs and will of the global popular majority, who make less than $2.50 a day, are placed first per the democratic principle of “majority rules.”  (10)  To create a truly democratic society, the world must be turned upside down.

(reposted from raimd.wordpress.com)

Every year in October, in cities throughout the US and occupied America, celebrations and parades are held on Kolumbus Day, in honor of Khristopher Kolumbus. And every year, though in fewer cities, these celebrations are met with resistance by those concerned with indigenous sovereignty and colonialism. This year, the protests continue.

We oppose Kolumbus Day because it is a de facto celebration of conquest, including the genocide and land theft waged against First Nations. Upon arriving in modern-day Haiti/Dominican Republic and viewing the native Tainos, Kolumbus remarked, “with fifty men, we could subjugate them all.” Thirty years after his arrival, the island’s Native population had declined by 90%. This pattern would be recreated across the Americas, particularly in the United States, where a campaign of genocide was waged against First Nation peoples by white settlers. Kolumbus would also pioneer slavery in the Americas, a phenomenon that would officially last nearly 400 years yet remains in the form of exploitation of the masses south of the militarily-imposed US-Mexico border and throughout the Third World.

We oppose Kolumbus Day because it is a de facto celebration of imperialism, the exploitation of subjugation of many peoples by a handful. Kolumbus’s original voyage was a landmark of Spanish imperialism, yet Kolumbus Day transcends this original meaning. Today, the United States stands above the rest of the world, dominating various peoples, in part by operating over 700 military bases around the globe. Today, over a billion people are faced with undernourishment, yet virtually every Amerikan is part of the world’s richest 15%. Kolumbus Day is a celebration of this ongoing imperial legacy.

We oppose Kolumbus Day because it is a celebration of parasitism and imperialist decadence. The ritualistic Kolumbus Day parade, usually consisting of closing roads for slow-moving processions of large vehicles filled with flags-waving crackers, is one made possible only through the exploitation of various countries, including their oil resources, for benefit of a decadent First World population. We protest Kolumbus Day in solidarity with those who suffer for the luxuries Amerikans receive 365 days a year, not just on this or that imperialist holiday.

Though a good start, ending Kolumbus Day alone doesn’t cut deep enough into the problem. Therefore, The Revolutionary Anti-Imperialist Movement presents the following program:

1) The end of all US territorial claims; national liberation for oppressed nations. Return of land to First Nations throughout the US and Klanada. National liberation for Mexicanos on both sides of the militarily-imposed border and reunification. National liberation and sovereignty for Puerto Rico and for the Kanaka Maoli of Hawai’i. National liberation and self-determination for the Black nation. The surrender of all US-controlled land throughout the world.

2) The imposition of a globalized democracy of the world’s oppressed and exploited masses upon the United States and First World. The creation of zones throughout the current US and elsewhere to be used as the global proletariat sees fit.

3) The massive payment of reparations from Amerikans to the Third World, to be accomplished through the redistribution of land, capital and through labor.

4) Relocation of many whites, including to the Third World, and reeducation for all Amerikans, resulting in the liquidation of much of the white nation and eradication of their parasite culture.

These are the demands of a world that suffers from deep problems and requires truly revolutionary solutions. Until these demands are met, resistance will continue.

October 1st, 2010

Save, print, and distribute this all over settler-okkkupied Cascadia!

Update:

John Williams will be forever remembered as a gift to humanity, whose own humanity and artistic talent was stolen by the Seattle pig department.

Ian Birk will be forever remembered as a socially useless murdering pig , wasting the oxygen much needed by those who care about people.

Once again, RAIM-S still sheds tears for John Williams, Oscar Grant and their loved ones.

RAIM-S still sheds NO tears for pigs filled with lead.

Resistance to the Seattle pigs by the Nuu-chah-nulth and Coast Salish peoples is justified, without question.

(There have been 5 human beings shot by pig okkkupiers in okkkupied Cascadia in the past week.)

RAIM-S helps drive off crackers from Seattle May Day rally

(raims.wordpress.com)

As recently reported, the May 1st rally in Seattle drew near 15,000 people, largely migrant labor.  RAIM-S was there to give a helping hand to those with more of a national liberation flavor than an integrationist one.  A RAIMer made a sign for the march that read “Deporten a los Pinches Gringos” on one side, and “Amerikkkans are the REAL illegals” on the other.  Basically, we only printed enough material to give to those waving Mexican flags rather than Amerikkkan flags.  RAIM-S would love to be able to distribute to 15,000 (mosty) Amerikkkan flag-waving migrants.  However, our resources demanded that we focus on those who are already fired-up against the white oppressor nation.

While demokkkratic politicians inside Memorial Stadium were busy firing their sugar-coated bullets of ASSimilation into Amerikkka, a bored RAIM-S was delighted to learn that a small gathering of anti-Mexican racists was oinking across the street.  Who the hell do these pigs think they are stinking up a celebration of International Workers Day with their racist shit?  It was time to bust out the trusty portable PA system to oppose these crackers!

Here’s the small group of white nationalist pigmerikkkans in question (see them in , attempting to whip-up lynching and deportation sentiment against La Raza:

With millions of assholes like these, is it any wonder why billions of oppressed people around the world hate Amerikkka?

What you didn’t see in the local Seattle newscast was the crowd of Mexicanos and youth gathering to oppose the racists.  What was a small anti-racist across the street grew larger as the stadium rally wrapped-up, and the exiting crowds witnessed RAIM-S shouting down the crackers.  The kkkops tried to dissuade the RAIMers from confronting the racists, exposing their role as the protectors of the white oppressor nation.  However, the pigs’ efforts proved futile, as people continued to gather around.  After the fascist insult from the settlers in Arizona, how could they resist the electrically amplified sweet sounds of  anti-racist denunciations coming from RAIM?  Observe:

The crackers (and the kkkops protecting them) encircled in red. RAIM-S was busy reminding them what day it was.

A RAIMer heckled the racists for their hypocritical demagoguery, saying, “It’s you white Amerikkkans who are the real thieves, the real rapists, and the real murderers.  You stole half of Mexico at gunpoint.  Your military rapes men, women, and children in Iraq and Afghanistan.  The system that keeps you well fed murders millions every year.  You are simply hypocritical, racist scum.  It is you who needs to be deported, crackers!”

Another RAIMer turned around the mic to give the gathering anti-racist crowd a history lesson, “What we have here is, fundamentally, a land question.  Those settlers over there are due for either deportations or paying reparations.  Go on the internet or to the library and look up the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.”  In a spat of comedic relief, the comrade turned back around toward the racists to announce, “…and we, the oppressed, will be taking our reparations payments in cash.  No checks, no plastic. CASH ONLY!”

RAIM continued with the history lesson, but directed it to the crackers this time: “Hey, crackers!  You remember how your boy, George W. Bu$h, whipped up your fellow settler Amerikkkans into a warmongering frenzy to attack Afghanistan and Iraq?  Remember how Bu$h used a fabrication to jU$tify the imperialist invasion?  Your boy James K. Polk did the same thing in 1848!  He fabricated an incident in order to jU$tify stealing half of Mexico at gunpoint.  Then, like now, this was done with the overwhelming support of the white nation.  Amerikkkans have always been more than willing to believe their leaders’ lies to fuel their bloodlust.”

More and more people continued to pour out of the stadium and join RAIM in denouncing the racists.  The mic was passed to dozens of people confronting these settlers and their slanders of La Raza.

A young indigenous woman passing by with her friends was astonished at the arrogance of these crackers.  Into the mic she shouted, “Your the ones who are here illegally!  This is Native Land, you racists!”

“You stole it at gunpoint, assholes!” shouted another woman.

“Racists!  Go home, you racists!  You call Mexican people lazy?  You are wrong.  They are working very hard,  more than you.  It is you white racists who are lazy.  Ever try cutting your own grass?  Hey buddy, why don’t you get out of here and go take your wife to Jackinthebox or something, you racist!” said an Iraqi man over the PA.

Next, a Latina college professor took the mic in order to school the racists:  “It is you who are the criminals!  The Pilgrims who came here were all criminals from Europe.  Shame on you, you hypocrites!  You claim to be Christians, but Jesus loved and gave comfort to the oppressed while you spew hate.  I’m a college professor.  I know my history.  Who are you to come here and say that we are the criminals?”

A Latino youth then spoke into the mic:  “Hey, why are you trying to put the actions of a few on all of La Raza?  That’s messed up, man.  That’s OUR business.  You get on outta here!”

Various Mexicanos took their turns denouncing the racist scumbags in Spanish.  One of them remarked to an Eng£ish-speaking RAIMer, “Those guys over there are the children of Mussolini.”

At some point, some liberal opposition to RAIM was bound to be inevitable.  One white man wanted us to show “compassion” for the racists, for whatever “hardship” they have had to suffer.  Another Chicana liberal remarked, “I’m against this [denouncing racists].  We are all here together.”  We quickly pointed out that the racists, not RAIM, were the ones creating disharmony with their piggish demagoguery.

A young New African woman was also horrified at the blatant racism of these crackers on International Workers Day.  “Oh my God… I can’t believe these ‘people’ are allowed to be here.”  A RAIMer offered her the mic. “Oh, no-no-no, I can’t.  I’m pregnant.”  After a couple minutes though, the reluctance to speak out went out the window.   With the nightmarish thought of having to bring a child into the world surrounded by racist cracker Amerikkkans, who could blame her?  She took the mic and let loose with, “Go home, you Nazis!  We [the captive Black Nation] built this country!  Nazis go home!  Nazis go home!  You forgot your KKK hoods at home, didn’t you?  You Nazis!  Nazis go home!  Nazis go home!”

The anti-racist crowd continued to grow until the crackers found themselves surrounded on both sides of the street.  Some Mexicanos unfurled a Mexican flag in front of the racists’ signs, prompting the kkkops to step in to protect the parasite’s “free speech.”  This was just after the pigs had attempted to suppress free speech for RAIM-S!  Seeing this hypocrisy by police, the woman on the mic pointed out, “You see, everybody?  The police are protecting the Nazi’s!  The Blue’s protecting who?!  Blue’s protecting who?!  Blue’s protecting who?!”  Once again, the police were forced to back down.  As with People’s War, once the enemy is surrounded, it is only a matter of time before they tire and are ultimately defeated.

Surrounded on all sides, the lone female racist began to yawn, prompting RAIM to respond, “Yeah, I see you yawning over there.  You know you’ve lost, so why don’t you go home already?  You crackers are going to be a white minority in Amerikkka, anyway, so why don’t you just save RAIM the hassle and self-deport?”  A core contingent of mostly non-white speakers had coalesced around the RAIM-S PA system at this point, taking turns shouting slogans in the mic like, “Get off stolen land, deport the minuteklan!”, “The white man is the Devil, that’s why his nation must be leveled!”, “Crackers go home!”, “Amerikkka is the problem, Mexico is the solution!”, and “Blue’s protecting who?!”

Sure enough, the cracker settlers had to return to their settlements like the cowards they are, complete with police escort.  Once again, “Blue’s protecting who?”  Jake, a Seattle RAIMer, then spoke into the mic, “Hey! Why didn’t you kkkops check the papers of those cracker settlers.  They’re illegal aliens!”  This was in reference to the blatantly fascist law recently passed in Arizona, and spoke to the need to identify the real illegals historically. Not surprisingly, just several days after the May 1st celebrations, the racist beating by Seattle Police of an innocent Latino male was exposed by the local media.  This is just further proof of where the loyalties of the kkkops lie; not with communities of oppressed peoples, but to the property rights of settlers and their imperialist masters.

The victory of the national liberation and progressive forces over the white nationalists on International Workers Day was an empowering experience for those involved, RAIM-S included.  However, the unfortunate reality is that the truly oppressed are a minority in the day-to-day functioning of Amerikkkan imperialism.  As gratifying as this victory was, we shouldn’t fool ourselves with the notion that everyday is (or could be) May 1st in Amerikkka.  The fact of the matter is 90% of Amerikkkans are the world’s richest 15%, and they put their politics where their money is.  Sadly, most Amerikkkans (secretly or openly) agree with the crackers slandering La Raza.  This is because these settler-descended parasites benefit from this racist system. Even most of the captive nations within the U$ have become assimilated into the parasitic Amerikkkan empire.  If you needed any extra proof about the worthlessness of the Amerikkkan majority, observe these next two short videos RAIM shot of the Teaklanner rally just a couple weeks ago:

While May 1st has a glorious revolutionary history to it, it is essential that the oppressed minorities within the fake borders of the U$A look to another date.  That date is May 9th, the anniversary of the defeat of Nazi Germany.  By rejecting assimilation and uniting with the world’s oppressed and exploited majority to defeat Amerikkka, just as the world’s oppressed were united to defeat the Nazis, the captive oppressed nations need not be a minority any longer!

The presence of this “Miss Amerikkka” at the teaklanner rally begs the question, “Who will miss Amerikkka?”  Check it out:

In this first release, we manage to find some of the more overt racists in the crowd that we didn’t find in Issaquah.

Illegal crackers on stolen Salish lands:

[Apologies to our readers for the last minute change of venue.  Leave it to the overtly racist crackkkers at "againstamnesty.com" to give RAIM-Seattle a more suitable target to counter-protest at the last minute.

Update as of 3pm :  In Issaquah, the racists within the Teabaggers kept their mouths shut, to help repair their image as "good" Amerikkkans.  Still plenty of time to confront them at Westlake Park in Seattle at 5:30 this evening.]

This is a call to all radicals in occupied Cascadia– anarchists and communists, Mexican/Asian/Black nationalists, Third Worldists and Indigenists, students and social critics, anti-racists and prisoner activists.

Bring signs, bullhorns, props, a hat and sunglasses, etc.   Join RAIM-Seattle as we take these crackers to task for their white nationalist agenda.

7 years of ongoing u$ imperialist slaughter in Iraq

(raims.wordpress.com)

Figures and statistics are stubborn things sometimes, especially for the impotent First Worldist “anti-war left.” A RAIM-S analysis of polling data reveals that roughly 75% of Amerikkkans supported the invasion and occupation of the nation of Iraq in the Spring of 2003.   By the Spring of 2007, Amerikkkan support had fallen to 25% – a total reversal in the ratio of support to opposition. (1)

The so-called “anti-war movement” likes to brag about the millions of participants globally (with the bulk of them First Worlders) in protests against the Iraq invasion in the early part of 2003. (2)  As if they can claim credit for stopping the invasion in the first place!  Such pseudo-intellectual arrogance crumbles into dust when facing the facts on who is actually stopping the imperialists dead in their tracks.

While Iraq is certainly not free of u$ imperialist occupation, the glorious Iraqi resistance has managed to put a dent in their plans for absolute control of Iraqi national resources.  The First Worldist so-called “left” cannot make this claim about themselves and their social base.  The Iraqi people’s righteous resistance to u$ imperialism, actually sending the oppressors away in body bags, is what switched Amerikkkan public opinion around.  What did the fake left think is was going to do on its own?  Some of these kkklowns were actually considering campaigning with Demokkkrats to reinstate the draft!  This was all in a cynical attempt to “shape” Amerikkkan public opinion on their own by attempting to mechanically rehash Vietnam-era social conditions.

Now, there are those within the First Worldist “left” that will give the Iraqi resistance their due credit.  But did they forge an outlook and strategy that correctly flows from this truth?  Hell no.  Instead, we got “Drive Out the Bush Regime!” and “Impeach Bush!”  And then what?  Bu$h is gone and now Amerikkka has Obomber.  These First Worldist activists sure took advantage of Amerikkkan dissatisfaction, not to end imperialism, but to ultimately whitewash u$ imperialism with a Black liberal face.  All of the so-called “anti-war” movement’s political energy ended up getting dissolved into demokkkratic election campaigns.

To really split hairs among the First Worldists, there are some of them who would say that they are “against imperialism ” and always opposed the demokkkrats.  These people are the most tragic of our delusional First Worldists.  We believe that these are sincere people who genuinely wish to see a world without exploitation and oppression.  Unfortunately, they have not dealt with the cruel reality of the Amerikkkan mASSes and where their class interests lie.  They are trying to recruit from the same people, Amerikkkans, that would just as soon kill them in a fascist coup.  It pains us RAIMers to see these people beat their heads against this ideological brick wall over and over again.

If these Amerikkka loving, so-called “revolutionaries” would just have the moral courage to confront two basic facts, they would be a lot better off.  They might even retool their strategies to match the reality of global class structure.

Fact #1:  The fact the an Amerikkkan majority now opposes the imperialist assault on Iraq has nothing to do with any internationalist compassion on their part towards Iraqis.  The Iraqi resistance was simply kicking their parasite Amerikkkan asses for four years – eventually breaking the imperial citizenry’s desire to “stay the course.”  Amerikkkans were not moved to oppose the war from the one million Iraqis murdered (3), the two million Iraqis displaced (4), or the five million orphaned Iraqi children (5).  In fact, Amerikkkans continue to support their sister settler state of I$rael over Palestine consistently – and reaching a high point at 63% just recently!  (6)  Amerikkka, and Amerikkkans, are virtually always on the side of evil and death in the world.

Fact #2:  There is a material reason why the majority Amerikkkans are always on the side of imperialism – they benefit from it.  Over 90% of Amerikkkans are the world’s richest 15%. (7)  They are in this position from theft of wage labor, land, and natural resources both historically and currently.  What the hell makes the First World “left” think they can make a positive difference for the people and planet, while relying on these parasite crackers as “revolutionary” material?  We’ll probably never know…

Should the hopelessness of the Amerikkkan asses make us hopeless?  Hardly.  RAIM has something we call “strategic confidence” in the world’s oppressed and exploited majority.  We put our faith for the triumph of justice not in the millions of privileged, but in the billions who are truly exploited in the Third World.  As Lin Biao said, “Victory will certainly go to the people of the world!” (8)

Here’s a real anti-war slogan for y’all, in honor of the Iraqi Resistance :

“The Amerikkkan majority supported the war,
The Iraqi resistance will even the score!”

[Insert "Afghan," "Intifada", etc. in place of "Iraqi/Iraqi resistance" when appropriate]
