Ecosocialism 2026: Resisting Trump’s New Colonialism

Economic prosperity is going down collectively but not for the rich, for the rest of the 99%.

So how do we look at this question? It's interesting to note when colonialism started, it started with this whole idea of plunder.

In order to remain prosperous, a country had to plunder someone else.

It had to dispossess a certain kind of population to absurd poverty.

It's such absurd poverty that indigenous people, people living their own countries vanished, got subjugated and they had to fight for their own freedom.

They were free.

they got colonized, they had to fight for their own freedom.

So it's not as if they did not know what freedom looked like.

But imperialism said no, we know how to subjugate you.

But the basic essence of humanity, the basic essence of human existence has been to be free.

When we talk about Trump's imperialism today, I think it is this very freedom that Trump and people like Trump want to destroy.

And they don't want to destroy it so that you are afraid of them.

They want to destroy it in such a way that no one else in the future is going to talk about freedom of expression, freedom to be together, freedom to love, freedom to have leisure, freedom to work or freedom not to work.

And that is the reason Despite all the protections that are possible under the earth, under the constitution in US, it's called an absolute freedom for them, right? To expression of carry arms, you can shoot people and kill and get away, you are absolutely free.

You can abuse, you can be absolute racist and you can become a president of the country.

That's the freedom that imperialism enjoys.

Now, when we look at this, what is this new imperialism that we are looking at? We are not physical colonies anymore.

A country can't own another country.

The human race cannot own another ethnicity.

Slave trade is banned.

People can't have slaves.

So what do they do? How do they subjugate others? I think people like Trump, People like Trump, people like Lippen, and my own prime minister and his own party, which whenever I address my prime minister, I call him honorable prime minister, because I don't want them to feel offended.

It's important to mention that they're honorable always.

I have no hopes of going to US, so I don't care if Trump is honorable or not.

And I'm sure, I mean, for this earth, there is no emergency exit against the fascists.
