"They didn't exist" (terra nullius) Complete denial of Indigenous presence in a given area (country, province, etc). Includes denial of Indigeneity, e.g. “Indigenous Peoples are Settlers too". 2. "If they did, they weren't here" (terra nullius) Denial that Indigenous People inhabit/travel/harvest/exist in a specific area. Often based on euro-centric definitions of evidence of occupation. 3. "If they were, they didn't use the land" (doctrine of discovery) Denial that Indigenous People have a connection with the Land. Often based on euro-centric worldviews of the land as something to be owned and extracted. 4. "If they did, they didn't deserve it" (great chain of being) Denial that Indigenous People have rights to their Lands. Often based on euro- centric value judgements of "primitive vs. civilized", "nomadic vs. sedentary". 5. "If they did, they lost it" (right of conquest) Denial that Indigenous People retain their rights to their Lands. Often based on colonially imposed European systems of law / "might makes right" worldviews. 6. "If they didn't, it doesn't matter any more" (Westphalian sovereignty) Denial that Indigenous Rights are still binding and take precedence. Often based on false claims of supremacy of colonial legal institutions and systems. 7. "If it does, we need to move on". (liberalism) Denial that violations of Indigenous Rights requires redress. Often based on claims redress is "disruptive/unfair/reverse racism" & false calls for “equality". 8. "If we can't, we are you" (self-indigenization) Denial of separateness of Indigenous Peoples and Rights. Often based on attempts to reduce Indigenous Rights to Human Rights, claim Indigeneity, etc. Via Kim Tallbear (who found it on unknown Twitter account that has since been deleted) https://ali-alkhatib.com/blog/eight-stages #Kkkanada #Canadians #NativeLand #TreatiesAreForever #ResidentialSchoolDenialism".

The Earth will survive capitalism. The question is which forms of life—and whose lives—will survive on it. The very phrase “saving the planet” is far from innocent. It preserves modernity’s old sovereign fantasy: a human subject invested with a mission of salvation, standing above a nature reduced to a passive object of protection. Our task has never been to save an external Other, but to transform the social order that is making the Earth a hell for the living. Full essay on The Ecosocialist.

With Chinese equipment, finance and technical support, Cuba has installed around 1,000 MW of … Continue reading Sunlight against the blockade: China and Cuba’s solar revolution

kritik_punkt on July 23, 2026: "🇩🇪 Zwei mal wischen für Deutsch! 📖 DON’T JUST READ THE SLIDES! Read the article at Kritikpunkt.com 🫂 This is a guest article by Niall Webb, we thank him for this wonderful piece. - Excerpt from the article: The links between environmental issues and (actually existing) socialism are complex. Socialism has sometimes been described as necessarily destructive to the environment. And one can find examples of this across the history of socialist movements and states. But there have also been convergences, examples of socialism working together with the protection of the environment. One example of both the contradictions and unity of socialism and environmental concerns is the USSR. As John Bellamy Foster writes: “From an ecological perspective, the USSR can be seen as a society that generated some of the worst ecological catastrophes in history but that also gave birth to some of the most profound ecological ideas and practices, based on materialist, dialectical, and socialist intellectual foundations.”[2] There is on the one hand, the predominance of Lysenko’s [Soviet biologist who rejected genetics as bourgeois, KP] pseudoscientific thought, based on a dogmatic reading of Engels’ Dialectics of Nature, the draining of the Aral Sea, and there is on the other hand, the zapodedniki [state nature reserves in the USSR, KP], zones “of relatively pristine nature, set apart for scientific research”,[3] the Great Plan for the Transformation of Nature, which tried to restore forests “as a grand attempt to reverse anthropogenic regional climate change in deforested areas”[4], and a great number of ecological thinkers from early to late soviet ecology. - #socialism #ecology #marxism #ecosocialism #kritikpunkt".

Agriculture and biodiversity restoration do not have to be at odds. A new study by the WILD research group at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) and UCLouvain, published in the journal Biological Conservation, demonstrates that agriwilding—a form of nature-inclusive farming—can successfully combine food production with biodiversity restoration.
