Rundown
In this episode, Mexie interviews Green, a Métis activist from the Indigenous Anarchist Federation, on the importance of decolonizing our leftist organizing strategies. We talk about the concept of decolonization and what it would mean in practice, discuss important differences between settler and Indigenous worldviews, and outline the importance of having an analysis of the ‘settler’ as a social position. We end with advice for settler leftists on how to approach revolution within a decolonial framework.
