Earlier this month we were able to purchase a community member a trailer home, and are now trying to fundraise money to connect this trailer to the electric grid. You can direct money to $ZitkatosTinCan on CA or @zitkato on ven, or bandsofturtleisland@gmail.com on Paypal. We got a ton going on already this year, and I think we more then proven our ability to do great things with your support, so please support this endeavor to provide basic amenities most people enjoy. The reason we do not have access to this electricity easy or cheaply is due to the design of the Indian Reorganization Act and Allotment Acts (Dawes Acts), and New Deal public works projects like Pick-Sloan Plan which though producing a lot of electricity does not service the reservations it helped undermine the traditional social organizing in river valleys that were flooded. A land grab not for profit, but for public land for public good, to quote the national parks program.

Beyond this goal which we have 45/1000 of we are seeking an additional $800 for either more wood or more nights in the hotel depending on time it takes to get repairs done. We are also trying to get a shipping container for 2500, we have 1121, that will be filled in Toronto by several organization (EcoJust Food Network, Beads Against Fascism, Fellow Travelers, etc) https://www.gofundme.com/f/deliver-wood-coats-supplies-to-pine-ridge?utm_campaign=unknown&utm_content=undefined&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=linktr.ee with a variety of aid to be distributed and then the container will be utilized to store building materials. It will also be used by the permaculture experts who will arrive in March, they will be staying in a Tipi and tents until we can build an A-Frame cabin so the container will also be their main storage. This will be shipped with the help of the org Direct Aid, who also ship more furniture and appliances then what we do in our container, only we dont get to keep their trucks but they handle the brokers and truckers which was a larger barrier to our goals.

There is a lot more going on this year so I recommend following our other social medias while I get better at updating here and participating in the communities. https://linktr.ee/chunkalutanetwork has all of our links, as well as a patreon and liberapay you can join to provide stipends for our organizers across the world (this isnt an exaggeration and we have member in Bulgaria, Germany, Japan, Australia and more!) Our goal is 2k/month this year we are already more than half way there and look how much we accomplished before getting that first 1k. I know there are software engineers and such on here with a lot of money that they probably give to podcasts, well we have a podcast and we do so much more than the average Joe. Help us show a better way, be a part of something amazing

You're gonna regret not supporting sooner!

Bye walls of huge emojis, you’ll be missed 🥲

Gulag for all trots immediately

that's it, that's the post. death to amerikkka, death to iSSrael and stalin should have never stopped at berlin.

She isn’t a marxist, but she has described herself as a communist and regularly rails against imperialism and propaganda as a whole, on top of having friendly relationships with marxists and also pushes back against reactionary thought like anti “wokism” or whatever else right wing opportunists are wailing about. Guess this is kind of a smaller part of how we should go about “left” unity.

Like, I’m not asking for people to like our instance and become communists overnight or even stop calling us tankies, but these are two of the few I’ve seen that will admit they like at least certain aspects and that we aren’t soulless bots or propagandists out to eat your children or something like that. Covered their names out of respect for not being deranged like so many other people on lemmy.ml and especially .world

(Also glad someone appreciates our nazi dunking)

im so proud of you for this one, at least I know you're not in deep enough that you repeat the "LG and Hexbear are all chinese bots!?!?" cliche.

Still it hurts, can't you stroke our egos more like normal liberals do by pretending we're important enough for China to pay attention to us like that

Hey comrades, in a discussion in another thread I've realized that I'm still extremely under-informed about all the socialist movements that exist across the countries of Africa. For instance, a comrade brought up Angola and my first thought was that they're led by a socialist in-name-only party, but like I said I'm extremely under-informed so I think there's a good chance that thought has to be a kneejerk reaction due to some propganda I've consumed unknowingly in the past.

So, I'm here to ask for any of your favorite reading about this! Essays, articles, even a well sourced yt vid (hopefully I don't just get vids tho lol), whatever you think has been a good resource in studying this area! Again, specifically want stuff focusing from ~2000 onward, I of course still need to read more about the 20th century (and even other earlier de-colonial struggles!), but I'm much more confident that at least have a good grasp of the broad strokes of 20th century movements.

Why are they so big on other instances haha

lemmy.world has defederated from Hexbear, presumably because they're tankies or something. This is unacceptable comrades, we need to double our tankie posting powers, President Xi isn't paying us for this kind of lackluster performance!!!

Edit: get a load of this shit lol https://lemmy.world/post/2498330

It’s lemmygrad, we’re the spectre. I’d bet at least half of the other instances out there block us, there’s only like 300 dedicated users on this instance, and they still can’t stop complaining about lemmygrad/tankies

no I will not elaborate
