Special Report (5/23/2024)

Colonialism is back on the agenda in a big way. So much so that even the mainstream media can not ignore this issue. Obviously the Settler Colonialism of Israel in Palestine is the most visible in the news cycle lately. But now the uprising in the French Colony of New Caledonia is pushing its way into the media cycle. 

In this special we end with the essay - Some Considerations on the Colonial Question by Ho Chi Minh (1922): https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/ho-chi-minh/works/1922/05/25.htm

(mentioned in the essay) The Twenty-one Conditions, officially the Conditions of Admission to the Communist International: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twenty-one_Conditions
