Mohamed Abdou: “Let Empire collapse: why we need a decolonial revolution”

Posted on November 2, 2020 by Vassilis Lambropoulos

‘I am part of a We that says: “Let Empire collapse.” A We that says to build alternatives to Empire, we must expose the illegitimacy of the dreadful dream we are in. … We are not just anti-fascist writers and movement participants, but also, outrightly anti-statist and anti-capitalist and have contributed to, and argued for, self-determination and mutual aid networks for decades.’
