The protests that broke out in Los Angeles last weekend aren’t really about improper immigration; they’re also a result of a revolutionary activity.
In America’s school classrooms, the term “anti-colonialialism” is frequently used, but surprisingly few people outside of campus take it seriously.

It’s just another harebrained extreme academic idea, isn’t it?
Well, the principle is largely absurd, but it actually takes a serious turn.
Nowadays, the majority of Americans and Europeans are happy to be free of colonialism and slavery, but they also feel bad about racism and imperialism.
All of that injustice is a thing of the past, but its reputation still lingers in our provide.
However, the anti-colonialist philosophy teaches that colonialism and extensive racial oppression have never and will never end, not until” resident” and” colonizer” power are overthrown everywhere.
Israel is the subject of the most obscene and aggressive anti-colonial fury, but the United States is equally guilty of being a” settler-colonial state.”
Mexico, and certainly all of Latin America, is America’s Palestine, and when unlawful immigrants cross the border, they resist imprisonment, and they and their allies mob is considered to be justified opposition to colonialism.
It’s an revolution, or at least the start of one, in the eyes of Palestinians.
In 1989, 1993, and 2000, Palestinians launched two intifadas against Israel.
These “uprisings” included violence, throwing stones at officers and soldiers, throwing Molotov cocktails, and murder up to and including death bombings, boycotts, strikes, and other forms of violent protest.

Although not a death bombing, thanks to God, many of these methods are recognized by Americans as views from Los Angeles in recent days as well as as recognizable features from various left-wing opposition movements, including those that were inspired by Black Lives Matter and the death of George Floyd five years ago.
Although there are connections between one eruption and another, the thugs who call themselves “antifa” are typically in the forefront of the actions, there isn’t some fantastic anti-colonialist crime directing all of this.
However, a conspiracy is not necessary because anyone who believes in the ideology should quickly recognize enemy groups and chant offensive slogans when they are being harassed or harmed by it.
No radical needs to wait for instructions on what to say and do to Jews or authorities.
Republicans have made fun of the Mexican colors that some LA protesters have been waving on social internet. After all, if you’re happy of Mexico and its symbol, why do you object to being sent back it?
But those flags are not being waved to make a point about Mexican territory; they are making a point about Los Angeles itself, which in the eyes of anti-colonialists belongs to any American at least as much as any other American.

Never mind that Mexico was a result of Spanish colonization and that indigenous peoples lived there as well.
It’s about power and obtaining it for those who are willing to take to the streets, not about history or underlying philosophical principles.
When right-wing supporters of Donald Trump were willing to use a small amount of the force that left-wing protest movements typically employ, that’s one reason the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol was so shocking four years ago.
The Jan. 6 rioters saw their enemies as a wealthy elite who had somehow snatched control of the country and the election. They also saw themselves as decolonizing the Capitol.
That riot didn’t involve arson to the degree that was prevalent in Los Angeles these past few days, but it did frighten the left, the political middle, and the majority of conservatives because it demonstrated how radicalism could spread to the right.

Too many Americans, who would never dare to riot, have grown too weary to acknowledge that left-wing protests are permitted, even expected, to be violent.
They had no idea what the anti-colonialist left could get away with, and they were not Nazi extremists, but a select few otherwise unremarkable Republican voters.

This kind of violence will continue to grow as long as it is tolerated in the name of anti-colonialism and other progressive causes is a lesson that all Americans must learn by now, before it’s too late.
There will be more riots, and then there will be more than riots: anti-colonialist principles call for an intifada, not just in Palestine but also right here in America.
Los Angeles must have law and law enforcement in place, but this is a fight that needs to be won in the classroom, the conscience, as well as on the streets.
There will always be violent extremists, but what keeps our cities on fire is the complacency of regular Americans who don’t understand a radical idea when its consequences are broadcast on nightly news and international news, too.
Editor’s Note: President Trump won’t permit impunity to rule in America. There won’t be a repeat of” Summer of Love” from 2020.
