first thoughts on amílar cablral’s theories of class suicide

hi hellooooooo!

this is a live I did a little over a week ago that documents my introductory thoughts on Amílar Cabral, who was a seminal revolutionary in the fight for Guinea-Bissau to belong to herself instead of violent Portuguese colonization. I really like this man!! Cabral didn’t consider himself a revolutionary philosopher (because he was too busy kicking Portuguese colonizers out of his homelands) but I am still happy he bothered to write down his blueprints.

The article we skimmed through:

That Thomas Sankara breakdown (also here on patreon, free):

then attached on the patreon are some other readings from Cabral direct in case you’re a freak like that. I think there’s an essay percolating here… but I need a bit more time to think and study.
