Lest we forget, the British and its fellow white European colonisers carved up the whole of Africa, and parts of Asia, creating borders and nations that are still in conflict today. What is the point of even learning history in Britain, if in 2025 we are still making the same mistakes as 1884. White men don’t get to tell us how to govern our lands. Sudan, Congo, Kashmir, and Palestine are live examples of the conflicts imperialism has left in its wake. Our blood is not cheap and our resistance is defined by us, not your recognition of us.

Charlie Kirk and an Ideology of Violence
Kirk was a controversial figure, but more than anything else, he was a useful tool to the far right, in life and now in death. His murder will be used to sanitise his deceitful ideas and more insidiously, to demand more censorship, more police powers, and more crackdowns. The only people who benefit from his murder are his own base.
Azadi by Arundhati Roy
Modi’s determination to create a Hindu India, based on his inaccurate interpretations of a long lost history, is in many ways similar to the swing globally to the right. However it’s much more complex in a country that is more akin to an Empire or a continent. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is the richest political party in the world. Since 2014, it has been the ruling political party in India under the incumbent Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The BJP is a far right party and has close ideological and organisational links to the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), a far-right paramilitary organisation. Its policies adhere to Hindutva, a Hindu nationalist ideology. India however, contrary to Modi’s assertions, has never been a Hindu country, buts facts are a fascists nemesis.
