Meloni, 45, plays down her party’s post-fascist roots and portrays it as a mainstream conservative group. She has pledged to support Western policy on Ukraine and not take undue risks with the third largest economy in the eurozone.
Italy elects far right Meloni as first woman PM
In a week where Aboriginal Australians have had the traumas of the past re-surfaced by the alleged systemic racism and “white saviour” complexes at Hawthorn Football Club – comparisons to the Stolen Generations being all but unavoidable – listening to the truth telling of this land’s original custodians means recognising the monarchy for what it actually is: an undemocratic, violent, expansionist relic.
Let our allegiance to the Crown die with Elizabeth II, who, I’ve just checked, is still dead.
It is vital to free ourselves from belief in the systems of white supremacy and imperialism that are inculcated in the educational system and are affirmed and amplified by the media and establishment opinion.
The recent death of Queen Elizabeth II puts the need for political and psychological liberation in high relief. We are encouraged to admire an anachronistic monarchy, and are exhorted to join in mourning an individual and a system that have caused great harm to Black and other oppressed people around the world.
