Explaining his decision to travel to Venezuela for the commemoration, he said: “I was in France, preparing to return to the Congo, when I received a request to record a video for this tribute. But I didn’t hesitate—I told them I wouldn’t send a video; I would go in person. Venezuela is a country that has led a struggle similar to ours. For years, its leaders have fought for their people, just as Lumumba did to liberate the Congo from colonialism. I am certain that if Lumumba were alive today, he would be a brother to Simón Bolívar, a friend to Nasser, Nkrumah, Hugo Chávez, and all those who have dedicated their lives to justice and the liberation of their peoples.”

      I like the furries because they’re really accepting

      But come on…Understanding how progressive movements fail and how it’s usually because the CIA destabilized the regime actually matters.

      Especially now. Less circle jerking, more historical analysis with clear messaging
