The Freedom to Resist: Censorship and the Movement in the Imperial Core, an article by Unity of Fields
For those who resist the freedom to speak is not a privilege granted by a ruling class of slaveowners and genocidaires. For us, there is only censorship and opprobrium from our class enemy, its state, and its settler lynch mobs. For us, the freedom to speak must be fought for, defended, and propagated in spite of the political violence imposed upon our movement - a movement for life and liberation from the death drive of imperialist world domination. In this way, freedom of speech is better understood as the freedom to resist, a freedom that is not granted to us, but which we create in defiance of ruling class repression.
In the face of all this repression, at all costs we must continue to communicate, and we must do this while simultaneously increasing the reach of our ideas and developing increasingly resilient systems and networks to avoid censorship. This is in line with the common admonition to “keep talking about Palestine.” Our refusal to be silent about the Zionist genocide against the Palestinian people is what accounts for the longevity of the movement in the US thus far. But it is insufficient. Going forward, not only must we talk about Palestine, we must also talk about imperialism, resistance and revolution. In so doing, our resistance will grow stronger, but so too will the repression of the ruling class.
