Follette, 1890 by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (French, 1864–1901)
Do you think that the American Indian Movement was pursuing a framework of racial nationalism and separatism when it engaged in armed struggle with the FBI to consolidate full indigenous sovereignty on the Pine Ridge Reservation, instead of letting the Amerikkkan government anex the reservation entirely and thereby bring us closer to a unified, multiracial state?
Pack it up girls we got our answer
The reservation system that Amerikkka has to-day is the outcome of treaties signed by the bourgeois government with tribes (and tribal coalitions) who spent centuries fighting against extermination. On one end they are administered in a genocidal manner by the bourgeois government, but that's only half of the picture—the reason that, despite everything, indigenous tribes do still have relative autonomy over their (underfunded) education and (underfunded) healthcare systems, as well as their (legally constrained) law enforcement is because for 400 years they have continued to fight for every scrap of sovereignty possible. Do you think that reservations function with a relatively high level of democracy within the limited sectors they are capable of running themselves because that's all part of the bourgeoisie's plan?? It's the bourgeoisie who wants to do away with the reservation system in the immediate moment, because that would give them access to dwindling reserves of land and bodies to exploit (remember Standing Rock?); whereas the indigenous peoples have fought for their sovereignty within the reservations because that's the space that they curdently have to exercise sovereignty within.
Whilst there are certainly comparisons to be made between the institutions on another level, likening the defense of tribal sovereignty within existing reservations to the establishment of the Warsaw Ghetto is fucking grotesque.
Of course I want to see a unified, integrated socialist state established across this continent (and then the world), but a true and just intigration can only occur if it is the voluntary decision of the indigenous peoples! And such a decision can only be completely voluntary if indigenous peoples have real sovereignty within their territories. For reservation land to be integrated without the democratic participation of indigenous peoples would ultimately be a continuation of the settler-colonial violence against indigenous sovereignty, no matter the political character of the state that does it.
It turns out that you can become the person you’ve always envisioned but you’ll still have the person you were before inside of you and you have to treat them with as much forgiveness and love as possible

Peacock spiders performing mating dance.
Jumping peacock spiders are known for their vibrant colors and elaborate courtship dances. Peacock spiders hunt by stalking their prey until they are within jumping distance, then pouncing and delivering a deadly bite. They are native to Australia.

Every time I see this post I think about that study that was done on how cats recognize visual imagery. They weren't sure if they track by color? shape? outline? movement? So they did an experiment where they showed cats clips of birds or rodents, visually altered in various ways -- light-inverted? color swapped? upside down? stills? mocap? slowed down, sped up, stretched or warped? And they found that cats could continue to recognize videos of animals even when they were just a skeletal ball-and-socket model, so long as they still moved like the animal.
Cats can recognize animals by only their structure and their motion. I wonder if a cat would be able to see a cat in this, too?
