reinvest in our common humanity. Part 3: Heal Our Planet- reinvest in our
common humanity. The Red Deal is a political plan to decolonize a world for
all. Published by Red Media and Common Notions.

Revolutionary Socialism

Third General Assembly formally adopts revolutionary socialism and liberation
as the primary political ideology of The Red Nation. While incomplete, the
purpose of this proposal is to articulate the basic principles of revolutionary
socialism and Marxism and its connection to Indigenous socialism and communism.

Indigenous Feminism

TRN is a queer- and femme-led organization. We recognize that women, femmes,
and LGBTQ2+ relatives have been marginalized and silenced by their own
communities and by colonial heteropatriarchy. Because our membership and
leadership is majority femme and queer, we are obligated to address the
disproportionate violence that femme and queer folks face because of colonial
heteropatriarchy.

Palestine Will Be Free

Palestine is the moral barometer of Indigenous North America. While there is
widespread agreement among Native people that European colonialism and
Indigenous genocide is criminal and immoral, there are a surprisingly high
number of Native politicians, elites, and public figures who don’t extend the
same sympathies to Palestinians, Arabs, and Muslims. They range from outright
Zionists who support Palestinian ethnic cleansing to liberal centrists who
don’t support Palestinian rights of protest and resistance. We, The Red Nation,
pledge to fulfill our commitment to Palestinian liberation.

Anti-Imperialism

Our socialism is rooted in Indigenous resistance, African slave rebellions, and
European labor history. It is also rooted in the nations of the
Tri-Continental—of Asia, Africa, and the Americas—that aligned themselves
against the primary enemy of the planet: US imperialism. Indigenous peoples
were the first victims of European imperialism and invasion. The US inherited
that mantle and has exported the settler colonial project to the rest of the
globe by plundering and killing other darker nations. We are internationalists.
