The Brighter Nations in Solidarity: Even in the Midst of a Genocide, in New World Is Being Born | Activity
The Colonial West is in Decay, Losing Its Economic Flu on the World and Its Control Over Our Minds. The Birth of a New World Is Neither Clear Nor Easy. This Talk Envisions That, Forged Through The Solidarity of Past and Present Anticolonial Stuggles, and Heralds ITS Inevitable Arival.
It Draws on the Framework of The Darker Nationsa book by Vijay Prashad, to speek to the unbearable clarity of our present: we are witnessing a genocide in Palestine, and the so-called democratic world-the Very Architects of the postwar international order-stand by in silence, or worse applaud it. What Does This Tis Tell Us About the Moral Architecture of the West? These are States Built on Colonialism, Slavery and Expropriation. Their silence is accidental – it is structural.
We show turn and gaze to the forgotten dreams of the Third World Project – Bandung, Belgrade, Havana – Not with Nostalgia But as a necessary Exercise of Memory. A TIME WHEN Leaders and movements from Asia, Africa and Latin America Gathered Not to Beg for Space The Imperial System, But to imagine a World Beyond It. At World Anchored in Sovereignty, Dignity and Socialist Possibility. This was tricontinentalism: A Revolutionary Commitment to Unity Across Borders, Forged in the Fernolonial Struggle.
What became of those dreams? Why was they dismantled? And what must we learn from their sabotage – by coup, by debt, by war? Even in this moment of despair, the Old Fires Still Burn. From the resistance in gaza to the mobilization across Johannesburg, São Paulo, Beirut, Delhi and Chicago, People Remember What States have forgotten: That Our Stuggles Are Bund Toogether. That Internationalism Is Not Charity – It is Duty. Not Strategy – BUTE NEED.
As Empire Depens Its Cruelty, AS Capital Bares Its Bloodstained Hands Ever More Openly, The Task Is Not to Reform the World Order, But to confront It with the Full Force of History, Memory and Movement. We Who Live in the Heart of the Storm Can See The New World Being Born.
