I wonder if he genuinely loves them or this is his idea of sweet talk when china/us relations were sweeter
They're all cucks, 99% of their kids went to the Ivy League. The only reason they act vaguely anti imperialist now is bc the USA wouldn't let them eat at the usual Davos and Bilderberger tables
September 11, 1973
My friends,
Surely this will be the last opportunity for me to address you. The Air Force has bombed the antennas of Radio Magallanes.
My words do not have bitterness but disappointment. May they be a moral punishment for those who have betrayed their oath: soldiers of Chile, titular commanders in chief, Admiral Merino, who has designated himself Commander of the Navy, and Mr. Mendoza, the despicable general who only yesterday pledged his fidelity and loyalty to the Government, and who also has appointed himself Chief of the Carabineros paramilitary police.
Given these facts, the only thing left for me is to say to workers: I am not going to resign! Placed in a historic transition, I will pay for loyalty to the people with my life. And I say to them that I am certain that the seeds which we have planted in the good conscience of thousands and thousands of Chileans will not be shriveled forever.
They have force and will be able to dominate us, but social processes can be arrested by neither crime nor force. History is ours, and people make history.
Workers of my country: I want to thank you for the loyalty that you always had, the confidence that you deposited in a man who was only an interpreter of great yearnings for justice, who gave his word that he would respect the Constitution and the law and did just that. At this definitive moment, the last moment when I can address you, I wish you to take advantage of the lesson: foreign capital, imperialism, together with the reaction, created the climate in which the Armed Forces broke their tradition, the tradition taught by General Schneider and reaffirmed by Commander Araya, victims of the same social sector who today are hoping, with foreign assistance, to re-conquer the power to continue defending their profits and their privileges.
I address you, above all, the modest woman of our land, the campesina who believed in us, the mother who knew our concern for children. I address professionals of Chile, patriotic professionals who continued working against the sedition that was supported by professional associations, classist associations that also defended the advantages of capitalist society. I address the youth, those who sang and gave us their joy and their spirit of struggle. I address the man of Chile, the worker, the farmer, the intellectual, those who will be persecuted, because in our country fascism has been already present for many hours — in terrorist attacks, blowing up the bridges, cutting the railroad tracks, destroying the oil and gas pipelines, in the face of the silence of those who had the obligation to act. They were committed. History will judge them.
Surely Radio Magallanes will be silenced, and the calm metal instrument of my voice will no longer reach you. It does not matter. You will continue hearing it. I will always be next to you. At least my memory will be that of a man of dignity who was loyal to his country.
The people must defend themselves, but they must not sacrifice themselves. The people must not let themselves be destroyed or riddled with bullets, but they cannot be humiliated either.
Workers of my country, I have faith in Chile and its destiny. Other men will overcome this dark and bitter moment when treason seeks to prevail. Go forward knowing that, sooner rather than later, the great avenues will open again and free men will walk through them to construct a better society.
Long live Chile! Long live the people! Long live the workers!
These are my last words, and I am certain that my sacrifice will not be in vain, I am certain that, at the very least, it will be a moral lesson that will punish felony, cowardice, and treason.
Am I reaching or does settler-colonialism foster a more violent and militarized culure than other forms of colonialism
Like because of the fact that you gotta violently oppress the colonized internally instead of externally
US is obvious
Israel too, very militarized to the point where Zelensky said "I want that too!"
Australia used to have a problem with mass shootings too right
Pattern: NOOTICED. Raw thoughts.

I think it’s because of the larger settler population that requires a much more visible and thus more explicit form of social stratification as classes form under the colonial model.

Yeah exactly. When the colonization is done on the other side of the planet you can simply deny or ignore the violence, when it's internal you can't do that and it'll become a bigger part of the country's culture.

since settlers intend to create new societies they generally focus more on taking land and resources away and thinking of the indigenous fore-bearers as others - there usually isn't as much of an attempt to wrangle the "others" beyond the obvious existence of hostile relations. Because of this it leaves the culture of the "others" unmodified in a sense, but creates a new component of hostility or "othering" which may not have prior existed. As other new settlers come into the society and this imbalance shifts more and more, you retain the atomization of "difference" built into the original concept of settler-other, especially as this is often furthered by the settlers themselves bearing atomization due to coming from different backgrounds themselves and then further atomizing into their respective ethnic communities - at that point the only tie in to a society is that they aren't the "other", but they still look at each other even within the settlement as distinct.
Meanwhile, straight up other forms of colonialism tend to functionally end up as attempts at basically (from the perspective of the colonist) "domesticating" entire peoples or cultures. This forces the cultures under colonialism to adopt the same epistemological framework as the colonists; even if the cultures remain distinct, the colonized culture will work within the same framework of legality, ethics, etc. as the colonists. This ironically narrows the type of conflicts which can arise, and also often creates an ironically less atomized distinction between cultures as there's an obvious thread which ties even the most anticolonial victims from the most chauvinist colonist. At the same time, there's also no one belonging to these colonies which aren't coming from these epistemological backgrouns (and if they are they are forced to adapt); this doesn't happen in settler colonialism as it requires active "othering" on multiple levels.

damn… this got me wanting to put together a reading list i’m reading something today
You def nooticed correctly. I think there’s a lot of good insights to take from Wretched of the Earth on this topic
Dam i gotta finish that shyt my adhd ass stay reading 5 books at the same time
Dam i gotta finish that shyt my adhd ass stay reading 5 books at the same time
I have the same problem lol.
If you want quicker, easier version, I highly recommend Meditations on Wretched of the Earth by Yaki Sayles. Wretched was one of only two books he had in prison so he studied it deeply and wrote a really easy to read summary of it (with a page/line reference system to Wretched so you can jump to exactly what he’s talking about easily). It not only makes grasping Wretched easier, but does a brilliant job of a***yzing the text and showing how it remains relevant in the present day. It is one of my top 5 favorite books ever. Really essential for communists in the 21st century imo. You can read it on its own before diving into Wretched, or read them in tandem. Either way works, it’s great as a stand-alone book itself
