Aight. That was a better heel turn than Hogan joining nWo, Bash at the Beach '96. I might just start watching WWE on the regular again if we're getting heel Cena, tf!? 😂😍 #WWEChamber

Chevy Chase is a notorious asshole and bigot but his early National Lampoon days were undeniably funny 😅

You only watched one episode but just know it's a horrible show? That's like a person saying TNG is garbage bc they only watched one episode ("Code of Honor") and it was horrible. Weirdo behavior 😐

Discovery is great! But Strange New Worlds is a lot of fun too and serves as a nice bridge between older and younger Star Trek fans

Do you mean Discovery or Strange New Worlds? I believe you accidentally combined the two 😅

All of this was purely fictional, of course, but the dynamics of the struggles laid out in this fictional story, including their various contradictions, serve as beneficial/educational material for communists trying to organize revolution here in the real world 🖖🚩✊ 14/14

But in the end, because of the Maquis' idealist and violent actions that threatened everything Bajor and its allies had achieved thus far, the Federation had to respond with—albeit controversial—force 13/14

100

Cde. Murphy 🔻🇵🇸🏳️‍⚧️ @cdemurphy.bsky.social · 28/11/2024

Even the Federation's own Benjamin Sisko sympathized with them to some degree, referring to them as "angry, scared, determined people who are going to do whatever it takes to survive, whether it meets with the Federation's approval or not" (DS9, The Maquis Pt. 2) 12/14

100

Cde. Murphy 🔻🇵🇸🏳️‍⚧️ @cdemurphy.bsky.social · 28/11/2024

The Maquis went against the collective will of the Bajoran masses by denouncing the peace agreement and embarked on a violent crusade instead. The Maquis were clearly more ideologically aligned with anarchism than with Marxism, which ultimately resorted to ultra-leftist extremism 11/14

100

Cde. Murphy 🔻🇵🇸🏳️‍⚧️ @cdemurphy.bsky.social · 28/11/2024

From the Maquis' standpoint, Cardassia will always be a threat to Bajor and thus a peace agreement serves as a betrayal to the Bajoran struggle. Which is understandable yet incredibly misguided 10/14

100

Cde. Murphy 🔻🇵🇸🏳️‍⚧️ @cdemurphy.bsky.social · 28/11/2024

Which brings us directly to the Maquis—a seemingly revolutionary, albeit violent extremist, organization made up of radical Bajorans and their sympathizers, hellbent on destroying their former colonizers Cardassia by any means deemed necessary 9/14

Cde. Murphy 🔻🇵🇸🏳️‍⚧️ @cdemurphy.bsky.social · 28/11/2024

I'm reminded of this excellent quote by Michael Parenti in his must-read book 𝘉𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘳𝘵𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘙𝘦𝘥𝘴: 8/14

Cde. Murphy 🔻🇵🇸🏳️‍⚧️ @cdemurphy.bsky.social · 28/11/2024

Was it a perfect solution in response to perfect conditions? Absolutely not. Then again, the material world never provides either. This was even true for the Federation as we witnessed the compromises they had to deal with the farther away they traveled from Federation space 7/14

100

Cde. Murphy 🔻🇵🇸🏳️‍⚧️ @cdemurphy.bsky.social · 28/11/2024

Another reminder being that Bajor had a right to self-determination, and as a collective society had decided to establish a peace agreement with their former colonizer Cardassia, with the Federation operating as intermediary 6/14

100

Cde. Murphy 🔻🇵🇸🏳️‍⚧️ @cdemurphy.bsky.social · 28/11/2024

Bajor was also deeply spiritual which brought about a number of other contradictions that Bajorans internally and the revolutionary communists of the Federation externally had to contend with, which serves as a reminder for all serious revolutionaries on their obligations 5/14

Under a Marxist analysis, Bajoran leadership was certainly not socialist—more like national bourgeoisie—but they were also fresh off from being colonized by then-fascist Cardassia and were still dealing with both internal and external sabotage after declaring sovereignty 4/14

Cde. Murphy 🔻🇵🇸🏳️‍⚧️ @cdemurphy.bsky.social · 28/11/2024

Deep Space Nine (DS9) did a fantastic job in laying out various revolutionary struggles and the contradictions that arise under real life conditions, especially where it related to the relationship between the Federation and the planet Bajor 3/14

100

Cde. Murphy 🔻🇵🇸🏳️‍⚧️ @cdemurphy.bsky.social · 28/11/2024

First of all, the Federation was a revolutionary organization/society operating under "real world" material conditions. While one could argue that Federation society was communist, their relationship with the universe was still within the stages of socialism/anti-imperialism 2/14

🧵 As much as I sympathized with the Bajoran's struggle against the Cardassian occupiers in #StarTrek, the Maquis were a prime example of ultra idealism taking precedence over the advancement of material gains 1/14

If he hasn't seen Star Trek 2, then the third one might confuse him. You can at least watch Voyage Home without having seen the Search for Spock. A quick rundown would suffice.

The reclamation of Indigenous food systems is part of the broader anti-colonial and anti-capitalist struggle. It reveals how deeply intertwined these oppressions are and the necessity of dismantling both for genuine liberation. 5/5

Cde. Murphy 🔻🇵🇸🏳️‍⚧️ @cdemurphy.bsky.social · 24/11/2024

Capitalism's contradiction is clear: it exploits the labor and resources of colonized peoples while suppressing the self-determination that could expose its parasitic nature. Indigenous food sovereignty disrupts this, offering a vision beyond commodification. 4/

Cde. Murphy 🔻🇵🇸🏳️‍⚧️ @cdemurphy.bsky.social · 24/11/2024

As Indigenous peoples reclaim foodways, they challenge a system that profits from their erasure. This "decolonization" of food isn't just cultural—it’s material, striking at the contradictions of a system that commodifies everything while denying Indigenous autonomy. 3/

Cde. Murphy 🔻🇵🇸🏳️‍⚧️ @cdemurphy.bsky.social · 24/11/2024

The absence of Native American restaurants in the US isn't just a culinary oversight; it reflects the ongoing marginalization of Indigenous cultures under capitalism. What was stolen wasn’t just land—it was identity, tradition, and self-sufficiency. 2/

Cde. Murphy 🔻🇵🇸🏳️‍⚧️ @cdemurphy.bsky.social · 24/11/2024

🧵 Colonialism wasn't just a violent seizure of land—it was also the destruction of Indigenous modes of production. Food systems, a core part of this, were uprooted to impose capitalist agriculture and erase communal practices that contradicted the logic of private profit. 1/
