Spain is in Ceuta because it was part of Al-Andalus. after 1492 it became NOT a migration point but an EXPULSION point.
#Morocco has been complicit with #Spain since the days of the Hapsburgs. they helped La Corona in #deportations of spanish moros, sefaradís and even iberian ethnic groups like basque, gallegos, catalanes.
#Marruecos is to #España what El Salvador is today to #Trump and #MAGA #Project2025.
Spain’s first sugar plantations were worked by moro & sefaradí slaves in Morocco.

Fascinating thread! Seems that among the implications are 1) capitalism has always been racial capitalism; 2) there's no capitalism that isn't racial. E.g. the Trumpist murder of DEI is just the righting of an errant neoliberal drift -
The Four Hundred and their Spanish Empire fetish were real
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Four_Hundred_(Gilded_Age)#MAGA especially #Trump, are the wannabes who were never accepted into the ranks of #nyc oligarchic society and so are out to destroy it whilst building their new #GuildedAge
so, if there is ONE thing y’all need to understand ―ESPECIALLY MY #EU EUROPEAN READERS― is that your so-called nazis aren't natively homegrown. they have always been pollinated by the gringolarchy. Hitler and Mussolini admitted as much🧵…
but just like the incestuous Hapsburg lineages and now the circular #AIslop economy, so too is the #globalization of capitalist oligarchic power.
#AfD #Vox #Reform are all tied to #MAGA by the same incestuous political economy of financial imperialism, aka capitalism.
BECAUSE THE POLITICAL MANIFESTATION OF #CAPITALISM IS AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN #FASCISM
Adam Smith’s effort was to disambiguate the political economy of a country from the divine rights claimed by their nobility🧵…

On the Trumpist murder of DEI: at one of Kimberlé Crenshaw's "Under the Blacklight" videos on this, she highlighted that DEI wasn't even want Black people and other minoritized people demanded, it was a watered-down approach that didn't destablize power structures ... and even that is too much for what supremacy.
Also: yes, great thread @blogdiva!

I'm not sure I agree with your use of the present in the sentence:
> #Marruecos is to #España what El Salvador is today to #Trump and #MAGA #Project2025.
Marruecos is definitely not currently a friendly ally of Spain as El Salvador is of the US.
The rest... Fascinating stuff and eye-opening too. Thanks.

so it should be clear then that #ManifestDestiny is a secularization of the #DivineRight to rule claimed by nobilities.
and it should explain why #blanqueamiento and #ManifestDestiny were ok with the millions of europeans migrating after 1898 regardless of their “limpia” status.
mass migration satisfied their goal of killing off and expropriating as many afro/indigenous people across the Américas as possible & repopulating with #DEBT SLAVES, aka indentured workers

#MAGA #PROJECT2025 is a hodgepodge of policies from post-1492 Spain mashed up with #blanqueamiento #ManifestDestiny and sundry fascist europe (Germany, Italy, Spain) fever dreams.
so the best thing y’all in #EU #EUROPE could do is to call out #AfD #Reform #Vox and every neofascist movement in your country what they are: #MAGA wannabes.
because they are.
because there is a long history to prove it.

@blogdiva The Habsburgs, of course, also being among the most notoriously inbred families in history, making a mockery of myths about "pure blood".

the fall of Granada in 1492 is a real fetish among a subset of christofascist neonazi gringos.
when i got my hands on #Project2025 and saw the section on deportations, it was very obvious to me Trump’s #MAGA handlers are following the messy and totally unplanned expulsiones of La Corona’s playbook.
basically, every time the crown and nobility needed cash, a new wave of pogroms and expulsiones of moros & sefaradís would happen.

@blogdiva At the risk of being pedantic, this is essentially what Said was calling out in *Orientalism*. Without The Other, Europe as a concept couldn't exist. And this is something that predates Christianity.
