DEFINE INDIGENOUS

Americans may have an unusual view of Indigenous people and may use the description as a noun rather than an adjective.  When we view the rest of the world in provincial thinking, are we skewed, or is everyone else?

One found this definition of indigenous——adjective

  1. originating or occurring naturally in a particular place; native.”the indigenous peoples of Siberia”

Members of the Green Party have differing views about the conflict and in FACT invasion of Ukraine by Russia.  Some people notice the interference of NATO bolstered by the USA in foreign nations that has everything to do with imperialism and capitalism and FACTually seem to be a continuation of the capitalism/imperialism that is so obvious and blatant against Native Americans. 

The following view of Indigenous people has been roiling in one’s mind.  —  Howie Hawkins speaks of the Feminist socialist groups in Russia, which is a reminder that other nations are as complex as is the USA.  Media owned and run by state/corporations in the USA prefer to paint with a broad breush which is misleading.  —  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mD6ZLJUMDG8        —

At the same time use of the definition Indigenous toward people in Siberia, one recognizes that many people within the Russian government are also Indigenous to Russia.  This is often not the case in the USA.   One accepts a view that use of isms such as socialism, communism, and capitalism against Indigenous Siberians is similar to use of the same against Native Americans.  But to use views cooked in the culture of the USA  that is clear that imperialism/capitalism from government is generally “white”, this doesn’t apply in like manner in Russia, or most other nations.  

This may be a reason some people don’t view the US proxy war with Russia as purely “an invasion of Ukraine”, when one sees as a problem, the decidedly “white” imperialism/capitalism of government challenging Indigenous Russians, whether Siberian or not.  

This is a complicated notion, but complexity is life.  

We should clarify this complexity before approving nuclear war that may be for no other reason than capitalism/imperialism.

One condemns the Russian invasion of Ukraine at the same time one condemns the deflection that NATO needs to be involved in Ukraine, in the same way one would reject a Russian military build-up on the US-Canadian Border.

Apparently we may wish to broaden conceptions of Indigenous to know that Putin is Indigenous.  This doesn’t mean the Communist government of the Former USSR didn’t inflict the same imperialism/capitalism/communism on Indigenous Siberians. 

In the USA, imperialism/capitalism has surgically been used in a racist way; often depending on skin color.  In FACT, the same may have guided US foreign policy.   In FACT the Supreme Court is considering race neutrality currently, when this isn’t the history of the USA by any means.  So capitalism/imperialism wishes Supreme Curt approval for racism, one may opine.

At the same time the USA bulldozes into foreign affairs while ignoring the simmering undercurrent of white supremacy from the US Establishment.

Speaking of the Establishment, which is a ’60’s throw-back term, it comes to mind that the denigration of a group Establishment termed “hippies” to blame whatever was wrong with their life, in 2022 seems replaced  by calling out a group called BLM.

From www.hawkinsmattera.org           —     Despite efforts by the New York State Democratic Party and their functionaries to silence us, we have broken through to the media with this campaign’s message of Inclusive Democracy, a Green New Deal, and an Economic Bill of Rights. We ask that you share this important news coverage to your community, families and allies:

The Times nails the issue: Cuomo, Hochul, and their Legislature Lackeys have brought democracy in New York to a 75-year low. And the bar was already disgracefully low.

But we can beat this and make our elections more fair and equitable than ever — with your help. We ask that you donate to this campaign today so we can continue fighting through Election Day.

And, speaking of Election Day, we ask that you take a moment to look at how you will need to write in our names for Governor and Lt. Governor, and to share this information with voters:

Instructions: Write in Howie Hawkins and Gloria Mattera. Go tothe bottom of the column on your ballot for Governor and LieutenantGovernor and write in as legibly as you can: Howie Hawkins and GloriaMattera.

****As one who would be perfectly contented to retain the Senate if they adhered to Oaths of Office more than to Citizens United campaign donations, one is interested in a topic raised as to the reason we maintain the US Senate—-


 This is a reminder of how much we don’t know.  This brings one around to Howie Hawkins, who continues to impress with original thought.  We also could acknowledge Hawkins often speaks to censored information.
One such topic about which one would never have even considered, is whether the USA needs The Senate.  Apparently The Senate is little other than expensive window dressing, promoting hierarchical interests, and too often placed in positions of power by big-money via Citizens United.  But the public gets to fund this curiosity of pompous supremacy.  Who knew?
The Democratic Branch of the Republican/Democratic Duopoly are especially functional in voter suppression—–https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNbdkuU1edw          —#GreenSocialist Notes #76
Howie Hawkins brings up the concept of whether the USA needs the Senate.  Apparently according to some people, the Senate isn’t necessary.  This brings up the blockage from the Senate of many bills that would benefit We The People.  Combined with Citizens United that promotes big-money interest choice of Senators, in which laws are passed that benefit big-money interest rather than We The People, and that We The People support economically, the members of the Senate, this seems a good topic for discussion.
The US Constitution doesn’t seem to sanction elections run by political Parties, and to permit control of political debates by political Parties seems equally corrupt.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQ7kn2-GEmM       —

Ross Perot in 1992 on NAFTA and the “Giant Sucking Sound”

Centralization is the lifeblood of the R&D duopoly.  It’s the way to enforce capitalism onto workers in 2022.———————–We can do better———-

That “we are a 2-Party system” is a fabrication of the Republican/Democratic duopoly and spread by MSM.  In FACT the majority of voters aren’t either registered Democratic or Republican.  The censorship about this info must be envied by bureaucrats of the Former USSR and their simplistic style of 1-Party elections.  

Regardless of which character sits in the Oval Office, We The People have work to do to maintain principles of our democratic (small d) Constitutional republic.  Several items to challenge—*We need the integrity of ranked-choice voting so voters won’t feel compelled to “hold your nose and vote”*Censored debates must be stopped.  The Democratic/Republican duopoly pretends to legitimate debates in what is nothing other than another campaign show.  Independent debates run by uninterested sponsors such as The League of Women Voters, must be restored.  (Access www.debates.org to understand the extent of duopoly control).  The so-called Debate Commission is a corporation to promote the Democratic corporation and Republican corporation, not to inform We The People*Challenge and stop gerrymandering that is a trick especially of the Republican branch of the duopoly.*Stop voter suppression by political Parties, and especially confront and stop Party suppression, which is the over-arching approach to voter suppression.  Party suppression seems to have been the responsibility of the Democratic corporation*Promote by law ranked-choice voting, so we won’t be told again, by D&R duopoly, to “hold your nose and vote”
If these issues are handled, our next elections can be honorable.

WITHDRAWS SUPPORT FROM FINAL PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE–end of lwv info–Murray Bookchin, who founded social ecology, a theory that strongly influenced early Green Socialist thought, strongly advocated the discussion and study group as the first step of any revolutionary movement. A group of individuals meets to expand their knowledge of radical thought and form a radical intellectual community; through the give and take of discussion, can eventually form ideas for next steps in organizing and political activity. According to Bookchin, study groups help create solidarity and a shared language — with a shared coherent vision — for building a mass, organizing, political movement!
