Indigenous views on Occupying&nbsp;Decolonizing Wall Street&nbsp;
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;OCCUPY WALL STREET: The Game of Colonialism and further nationalism to be decolonized from the &ldquo;Left&rdquo;
&nbsp;&ldquo;We don&rsquo;t need more occupation &ndash; we need decolonization and it&rsquo;s everyone&rsquo;s responsibility to participate in that because COLONIALISM AFFECTS EVERYONE. EVERYONE!&nbsp;Colonialism also leads to capitalism, globalization, and industrialization. How can we truly end capitalism without ending colonialism?&nbsp;How does doing things in the name of &ldquo;America&rdquo; which was created by the imposition of hierarchies of class, race, ability, gender, and sexuality help that?&rdquo;
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&rdquo;Wall Street is only possible because of this history of land fraud and treaty violation.&nbsp;
&nbsp;The &lsquo;United States&rsquo; is only possible because of its still imperial-colonial relations with Native peoples.&nbsp;
What &lsquo;Wall Street&rsquo; and the U.S. have become &mdash; an imperial-colonial power over the world&rsquo;s economics and the laws that protect it &mdash; is a direct legacy of the fraud and violence committed against Native nations.&nbsp;
&nbsp;Perhaps those who now claim to OCCUPY WALL STREET in the name of reforming America&rsquo;s economy could remember their history and call it something else.&nbsp;Wall Street is, after all, already an occupied territory.&rdquo;&nbsp;
via&nbsp;Tequilia Sovereign&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**I am full solidarity with the occupy protests/actions, but I cannot simply forget the history of colonialism that has poisoned and continues to disease so many peoples, Indigenous or not.&nbsp;**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
