In this lifetime I have never known Empireless peace. I know it exists because of our ancestors, Indigenous practices and wisdom, and small moments of radical acts of healing. But I have never lived Empireless peace.
This is because Empire and peace cannot coexist.
And any and all offers of “peace” by Empire have ALWAYS ultimately been to empire’s benefit. Whether that is a ceasefire, interfering in an election, drawing a line through a country, fabricating borders, or everyday capitalism packaged as democracy.
Any offers of “peace” by Empire are deceptions because peace can only come when Empire ends.
We have to practice imagining for ourselves. We have to practice imagining Empireless peace. Because when Empire falls, and Empire will fall, we should already have studied to prepare. Study and be organizing now.
Practice and imagine in your communities. Practice and imagine Empireless Peace. A change is coming, and we will be moving into place. So let’s be as ready and as open as possible for Empireless Peace.
When you study and get into the practice of imagining what liberation can be, what Empireless Peace can be you’ll be uplifted, emboldened, strengthened, and encouraged. You’ll be confident in knowing that you are part of the waves that will take Empire down.
It’s us y’all. We are the ones, we are the waves. 🌊 🌊 🌊
