Today’s Blurb

The El Paso Salt War of 1877 is an example of a people’s revolt. The Mexicans in the country banded together along lines of race and class, taking direct action in response to the political chicanery of foreigners. The mob’s action was not based on an abstract political ideology, but was an emotional response to [...]

White Amerikkka Won’t Rehabilitate Itself

“We have never lynched, we have never shot, we have never burnt a church, we have never beaten people, we have never taken them to jail. That is the question for white amerika. The real question is can she civilize herself before we get ready to civilize her.” [sic]
-Stokely Carmichael
RAIM-Denver has the answer.
No, white-amerikkka will [...]

Quotations of Lin Biao

Ok, so by now we all know the truth about Amerikkka. We know that Amerikkka is really just a white settler nation: a reactionary nation only made possible by the largest land grab in history, the subsequent genocide and internal colonization of First Nations and the internal colonization of Blacks and Mexicans. We know that [...]

A Message to the Youth of White Amerikkka

White youth,
We have good and bad news for you. The good news is that you happened to be born into one of the most privileged strata of human society. The bad news is that the privilege that you were born into is based on the super exploitation of the Third World and the oppression [...]

Banner at May Day March

This Mexican national liberation banner reads “Government! Oppressor! You are the invader!” It displays the borders of Mexico and occupied northern Mexico. RAIM-D agrees with our re-unificationist comrades that the amerikkkan government is the real invader. The problem isn’t just the amerikkkan government, the problem is the white nation as a whole — this message [...]

No Instant Amnesty For White Amerikkka

Amerika, all of which sits on stolen land, has some serious crimes to account for. One of these crimes is the aggressive theft of Northern Mexico and the continued exploitation of its peoples. For all its warm liberal appearances, Amerika has yet to account for it historic mistreatment of Mexicans and Blacks. Not reparations, not [...]

Give it up whitey, you owe back rent.

The march was rather long and at this point it had reached a gentrified area near “lodo” by downtown Denver. Note the nice condos on the left- nice gentrified white middle class condos built on stolen land. Give it up whitey..

You’d be surprised how well a flyer that says “deport white people” goes over

You’d be surprised how well a flyer that says “deport white people” goes over with Chican@/Mexican@ youth. At least that was the case with the May 1st Denver ‘immigration’ rights march where we distributed over 700 flyers with that very slogan. Also of interest is that our estimates point to over 80 hits to [...]
