They're on scrub land at high altitude in Colorado and don't have any of the water rights they need to tap those rivers, no indication of how they "emancipated" 200 acres of land when their gofundme only raised $50k, and want to build a whole rear end self-sustaining city, but if you point any of this out people jump down your throat and call you racist, lol

Also 200 acres isnt poo poo, that's four big parking lots next to each other. Assuming half the land is usable (generous) this wouldn't support the group pictured, let alone a city.

The dialectical struggle of history has always, essentially, been a question of how to apply justice to matter. Take away matter and what remains is justice.
Looked at the twitter thread because I am truly broken inside and it seems like they're just spamming a link to this page at anyone skeptical.

Reparations

Are you white? Do you want to help? Do you want to be a good person, on the right side of history?

The only way you can wash the blood off your hands is through following the leadership of African, Indigenous, and colonized people and paying reparations for all that’s been stolen in your name.

Right now, Black Hammer Organization is offering several ways to pay reparations:

Become a recruit of the Reparations Corps.
Make monthly reparation payments.
Contact us to give your skills, possessions, land, etc. as reparations.

Reparations Corps
Reparations Corps logo

Do you think white workers and colonized workers are oppressed in the same ways? Do you think we have the same goals? Do you think revolutionary movements should include colonizers?

Black Hammer Organization wants you to join the Reparations Corps to relearn history and find your place in building a world without exploitation. The tuition for the bootcamp is the start of paying reparations. This is your way colonizers (white people) to get involved in changing the world, make the choice today to get on the right side of history.

Weekly bootcamp sessions on Sundays from 6-8pm ET.
Reparations paid on a sliding scale.
Sessions will be offered via Zoom.
Learn the true history of the world which has been hidden from you.
Understand why reparations are the key to finding your humanity.
Get on the right side of history!

Ways You Can Sign Up:

Mao Level – $199 minimum

Sign up for the entire 8-week bootcamp and get fully certified as someone who is united under colonized leadership. By completing this level, you’ll get the chance to provide your skills to the organization and be an active recruiter to make sure that other people are continuing to pay reparations and support the masses of poor and working class colonized people. Upon completion, you will also receive a Reparations Corps uniform!

Mao Level + : Pay an additional 25% in reparations and receive an exclusive piece of Black Hammer gear!

Sankara Level – $99 minimum

Sign up for the 4-week bootcamp and get halfway there to falling under the leadership of colonized people. Although you won’t be able to contribute to the organization at this level, you will still receive valuable skills necessary to help advance anti-colonialism and organize people to return and liberate the land of colonized people around the world. If you wish to continue the full 8-week bootcamp, simply pay reparations for another Sankara Level bootcamp.

Sankara Level + : Pay an additional 25% in reparations and receive an exclusive piece of Black Hammer gear!

Che Level – $40

Sign up for a single session of the bootcamp and get a view of the experience and work it takes in order to disunite with your people’s worldwide acts of genocide and terror. Take that first step into creating a world where no one lives at the expense of another and show others that you have what it takes to make a material, not just ideological, difference in the lives of others.

The next 8-week bootcamp will begin on March 14th, 2021! That means you need to sign up today to claim your spot and begin YOUR journey.

GROUP PRICE – Does your organization/company, activist group, or group of friends want to pay reparations and learn about anti-colonialism or anti-racism in the world and in the workplace? Contact us directly at reparationscorps@protonmail.com for pricing options!

Why join the Corps?

For 600 years, you have been murdering Indigenous people, enslaving Africans, and colonizing the globe. Aren’t you tired of endless genocides enacted in your name?

You have raped Turtle Island and her Indigenous Nations. You stole African people from their prosperous continent to build your plantations. You have stolen our lands, forced us to work as your slaves, wracked up the plunder of Colonialism to fuel the parasitic, capitalist system that murders us today. The genocide of colonized people never ended, and they are continued today worldwide through colonialism and imperialism.

You have blood on your hands but you can never wash them clean on your own accord.

In the words of the Brazilian educator Paulo Freire:

“Although the situation of oppression is a dehumanized and dehumanizing totality affecting both the oppressors and those whom they oppress, it is the latter who must from their stifled humanity, wage for both the struggle for a fuller humanity; the oppressor, who is himself dehumanized because he dehumanizes others, is unable to lead this struggle.“

So sit down, and take notes.

By paying reparations, you acknowledge that you and your nation still benefit from our stolen resources. By taking this class, you acknowledge that you and your nations still benefit from the dopamine rush of that conquest.

Revolution will overturn all of these contradictions and colonizers can either fall in line behind our leadership and help us build, or you can stand in the way of our hammers.

Pay Reparations

To support the anti-colonial struggle directly, without taking our class for colonizers, Black Hammer Organization accepts reparations via monthly donations.

Reparations will go directly to empowering poor and working class African, Indigenous, and other colonized people worldwide.
Why pay reparations?

All wealth enjoyed by colonizers is from colonialism: the pillaging, slavery, and genocide of African, Indigenous, and colonized people.
White people, no matter how poor, still benefit from colonialism because it’s what upholds their culture and their way of life. Exploitation from being poor is separate from oppression from being colonized.

White people, even those who are liberal and well-meaning, have always given tacit approval to colonialism through their apathy, ignorance, and continued investment in the status quo.
Minerals, jewels, art, culture, plants, animals, and other resources are continually looted, and that wealth is held by colonizers.

Colonizers trade their humanity and choose to pillage, enslave, and genocide. Their domination over the world must end before it destroys the planet and all of humanity. The only way to right the wrongs, to repay what was stolen, is reparations.
PAY REPARATIONS MONTHLY

Have other resources (skills, tools, vehicles, housing, land) that you can give as reparations? Contact us.

Land Back!

If you had a dedicated farm built up slowly over many years by two experts in the field with good access to water, a tropical growing climate, a steady rotation of student farmers, and a massive budget, you can feed all the folks in the picture on less than 200 acres easily.

But you can guess what's more likely to happen when a leftist group focused on self-criticism secludes itself in the mountains... Or, more generously, the same thing that happened to those hipster folks who tried to move to the desert and start a collective farm, only to be hampered by their inability to build any structures or gain access to electricity.

The Hittites did not settle in the rocky mountains, however, and from the sources I could quickly google, they did not grow their crops or keep their animals within the city limits

The american diet costs about 2.5 acres worth of crops per person per year. Assuming you minimized waste, you still couldn't maintain the community pictured on the amount of land shown.

aren't you supposed to combo corn with at least squash and beans

the squash retains moisture for the corn, the corn p much trellises the beans, the beans provide nitrogen its win win win you're basically terraforming at this point
