I have a deep love in my heart for Nairobi, Kenya and its indigenous people. It was one of the cities I spent time in on my first trip to the Motherland back in 1985. The people were warm, friendly and humble. Most of the people I met would not be able to afford to shop at the Westgate Mall where terrorists rained bullets on innocent shoppers. Some observers believe that the mall was the target because it is frequented by Westerners. Still, the fact that Kenya is allegedly becoming the battleground for Al Qaeda is troubling. In this case it’s Shabab, an Islamist militant group based in Somalia. Add long-time corruption by government officials, and it spells untold suffering for the masses of Kenyans.
Maximizing the Power That We Have
The U.S. working class has been conditioned over the years to believe it has no individual power, and therefore it can never have collective power. This false narrative has had a negative impact on our approach to resistance.
