Excellent discussion!
Superb photos and unseen shots of Cabral here, bravo.
Bill should not be working for this network…
Identity Politics is a imprisonment.
Identity politics is an advertisement tool and therefore not only useless but also something that destroys politics.

Thank you. I am ashamed of my ignorance of Cabral until now, and can't wait to read this book. This was brilliant and I learnt so much,… thank you….comrades.
Let's liberate identity politics!
To all 5 of you; your work mattered and still does to those who peer to the depths of human struggle. Blessed may you All Be. Blessed be Amilcar Cabral’s Soul. There is a remnant of youth who hold dear to your examples. Blessed May you All remain.

Just installed Rumble to ensure I can still receive those who question the mainstream narrative like The Real News Network, The Duran, Chris Hedges, John Campbell, Scott Ritter, Jimmy Dore, Grey Zone, George Galloway, Richard Wolff and yes Russell Brand because YouTube are going to continue their witch hunt….
Thanks dude! for keeping us financially Educated! Regardless of how Bad it gets or the economy, I still make over $22,000 every single week
Thank you for this meaningful dialogue.
The seat belt came from the Left. The seat belt is slavery. Clearly, slavery is a state of mind. I was born a slave. I was enslaved by my own ignorance and my own incompetence. The idea that one mind can enslave another makes no sense. Liberation is freeing oneself from self-imposed slavery. Let us hope the generation of blaming others for one owns limitations is dying out.
I find it all so Ironic and more than a Bit Hypocritical that White / Europeanist people have constructed a whole World, its Representations, Systems and Institutions based and invested in Identity Politics.. The notions of Who is White, who is Not, whose culture and traditions are "superior" continues to pervade the all perspectives and understandings. Yet this same groups wants Black / Africanist people in particular to Deny and Erase Our Identity and systematically Dismantling our very thoughts of about.
No, because "identity politics" are a tool of establishment politics. Barbie Capitalism is pink-washed nonsense. Oprah owns half of Maui, and autoworkers are striking to get the money a black president forced them to leave on the table to "save the industry."
You say gay, trans, black, female, Jewish Republican, I hear "conservative." You say gay, trans, black, female, Jewish Democrat, all I hear is "lib." Same sh¡t, different spoon.
Look, I'm not american nor black, but to me it's obvious there's a campaign and a tremendous effort not only to portray Black people in a terrible light but also in stopping their progress, not only in the USA where they have literally degraded people of color with unbelievable human rights violations like spreading black neighborhoods with crack cocaine or even "experiments" short of horror movies, this goes on to the African countriesfor entire generations. ID politics is divide and conquer by the usual people using minorities as cannon fodder.
no -l its devide and conquer only… and look at adorno frankfurt school.. operation without the race term… he was sponsert by private big money… of course – they never touch their doners… and all things the propaganda and the code and thinking gets subverting inj… remains in the regions of the überbau… if the revolution does not take place in the region where surplus can get generated….. via workforce… the whole narrative disappears if the doners cut the money…
No because while it’s important to rectify mistreatment based on identity, people are more than just simply one part of their identity. Identity politics has actually been a mind game that has splintered off people who have a lot more shared interests, into tribes who fight everyone except the establishment
But yet it is absent of TRUTH 👻 and does no thing it seems to accept TRUTH 👻
No, identity politics is right wing extremism and always leads to more misery.
It is happening right now 💜
