GUEST: Sleydo (Molly Wickham), spokesperson an Indigenous reoccupation site in British Columbia, talks about her people's resistance to the Coastal Gasoline pipeline. This interview is a replay from this spring.
The Unspoken Spread of Fascism
I replayed Molly Wickham's interview because her tribe's battle are still going on. It is part of the indigenous resistance to Canada's participation in the destruction of our common planet.
I included an article I wrote to the LA Progressive a couple of years ago. It traces the spread of fascism that often follows a dysfunctional democracy, one that is almost completely dependent on corporate cash. In this case, the Canadian government is doing what their big oil companies want done, despite a incursion into First Nation lands, and a reckless indifference to our dying planet.
Or as Chris Hedges wrote recently:
The step from dysfunctional democracy to full-blown fascism was, and will again be, a small one.
