  • i wish i shared the prevailing sentiment among latin america’s leftists and artists that their respective indigenous heritages will ultimately outlast western colonialist dominance since they had already died out and the type that’s become popular today is a revisionist version that was largely reconstructed from colonial sources.

    it’s clear to me that it comes from some sort of desire for a hopeful future that’s beyond the staggering dominance that western capitalists enjoy today, somewhat like how leftists of the global north expect the inevitable demise due to capitalism’s inherent contradictions; but i strongly suspect that there will be another fdr like figure or movement that will stave off the demise again with another welfare state and keep the train of needless suffering chugging along for another century or so.
