Dominica’s Coming Color Revolution?*

Dominica and the Far Right Fifth Column

*see link

Recent events around the world have awful resemblance to color revolutions known to the modern world. Often times these color revolutions result not only in changes desired by a portion of a sovereivnty’s populace influenced by a foreign government, but with a puppet leader installed. And it seems as if one is possibly underway in Wai’tu kubuli (Dominica).

There were riots calling for election reform, often times the cassus belli for a governmental body such as the OAS to install puppets that will benefit US trade and weaken economic ties to enemies of the US. The United Workers’ Party, though denouncing violence as tactic, is the conservative party of Wai’tu kubuli founded by “greedy businessmen”such as Edison James in 1988. Named in typical fascist fashion, it co opted the socialist ideals of workers’ rights and power against wages stolen by capitalists to convince workers that it has their best interests.

The Labour Party is a social democratic party with socially conservative ideals relative to Amerika. Lennox Linton, opposition leader of the UWP, asks military from other Caribbean countries to stay away — knowing full well that if a force like the UN “Peacekeepers” arrive, war will be as inevitable. The Labour Party, founded in 1955 by (socialist activist and anti-colonialist) Phyllis Shand Allfrey, Dominica’s most celebrated author, claims the protests aren’t for electoral reform.

Dominica traded hands between France and England three times. It is in an important geographical location in the Lesser Antilles, as it juts out far into the Atlantic and thus, and westward-traveling routes of trade would need to cross its longitude. Dominica is known to us as an island with a river for each day of the year — hundreds of pristine bodies of water in forests so untouched they say the colonizer Christopher Columbus would recognize Wai’tu kubuli today, even after he called for and participated in the genocides of the Kalinago.

In a world that grows polluted and more chaotic as global warming accelerates, these lands existing as they are, under a prime minister supported by socialist existential threats to Amerika, threaten the very history and thus future of what capitalism stands for: suffering and death. Dominica, until this day, has remained a maroon in the face of climate change (click here for maroon history by Lennox Honeychurch), surviving in its jungled and mountain-high splendor. Explosive and home to 9 volcanoes, Her Body is Tall because we have stood tall against all invasions since the Great Serpent arrived on the shore to take our Kalinago ancestors to these lands. We survived hurricane after hurricane before Maria was even birthed and so, it can be said we have always been a hurricane reslient, invasion-resistant country. Any attempt at conquering us ought not end in failure, green capitalism, imperialism, or otherwise.

Many diaspora from Wai’tu kubuli believe Skerrit (Labour) has been in power too long, as if that matters— perceived by many UWP voters and agitators as a socialist dictator despite his capitalist tendencies. They accuse him of "giving free money away" to bribe domestic citizens to vote Labour. He is currently working on making the island the first hurricane-proof sovereignty in the world’s existence. And yet, his opposition is expected to open up trade like Guaido wanted to do in Venezuela: by increasing trade with the heart of imperialism and colonialism itself — Amerika.

Most domestic citizens are Labourites, while most UWP members are diaspora in Canada, England, and Amerika.

Currently, overseas citizens are allowed to vote on the island, which results in imperialism, as the cultural mindset of those who left often times gives way to the imperialist attitudes and modes of economic analysis of the countries they move to, if they didn’t already have those ideals before moving. Diaspora includes Kalinago peoples such as myself: descendents of a surviving genocided peoples victim to white supremacy and thus capitalism.

This year, Dominicans were allowed to visit capitalist Russia without visas for up to 90 days, and vice versa. Last Year, pseudo-socialist China had its first military excercise in the Caribbean via its navy.

Skerrit and the PRC have been developing close ties, as Dominica has even recognized the principle of One China.

Most people who are buying land to build apartments and businesses in dominica and thus given citizenship (citizenship by investment program) are wealthy Arabs and Chinese people. If this isn't neocolonialism then I can't know what is. All landlords are capitalists.

Had the coup in Venezuela been successful, PetroCaribe would've been destroyed and hurricane prone islands like Dominica would be shit out of luck when it comes to post-hurricane energy.

At the same time, Dominic's wildlife is threatened by imperialist actions and Skerrit's compliance with them, such as him giving away our beloved sisserou parrot, only found here, to a German animal smuggler, or his dealings with the Clinton Foundation, during which Bill Clinton's visit and live stream event consisted of marketers on the live feed asking viewers for donations to "support [Bill's] trip" to Dominica, as if he couldnt afford the secret service that followed him there...

Wai’tu kubuli is no stranger to communism. We shared the islands with fellow communists as what Marx referred to as a “primitive” form of it. One of our first prime ministers as a sovereignty independent from former British colonizers was a conservative turned Black Panther and Socialist after observing Black and indigenous ghettos in Amerika and Kanada and becoming inspired by Pan-Africanist Walter Rodney, Trinidadian Marxist C. L. R. James, American civil rights leader Angela Davis, and Black Panther Party leader Bobby Seale. Cuba, a truly socialist country, has provided us with medical necessities for decades. Venezuela, home to indigenous communities of Kalinago ancestors we are still connected to, has done the same since Chavez.

But since so many politicians are invested in a second Cold War in spite of Black/Kalinago lives, we can’t be surprised that events are unfolding as they have been straight out of Bannon’s playbook of populist fifth columns: the OAS spreading “democracy” to states headed by “dictators “ with “unfair elections” — the same genocidal play-by-play in Bolivia and Venezuela and Nicaragua we’ve grown to hate all in the name of installing puppet governments.

My only regret is that I didn’t anticipate this would happen sooner.

This is larger than Dominica, and is clearly between China, its access to Afghanistan (thus Russia), and the states of South Amerika building socialism — the economic promise which, for example, initiated a massive literacy program in Grenada (illiteracy was dropped from 35 percent to 5 percent) , created a system of FREE healthcare, and demolished the unemployment rate from 50 percent to 14 percent. In spite of my clear dislike for Asian and Middle Eastern bourgeoisie officials and the like buying access into Dominican sovereignty, and in spite of the hatred many at home will have for my body, I am committed to liberation of Black/indigenous peoples.
