What does it mean to live in the belly of the beast, in the heart of the empire? Here are the rules to survive in a horror movie:
Don't take something that doesn't belong to you: stolen land, artifacts, people, labor, wealth (return and redistribute that sh!t)
Don't split up: to achieve liberation, we need people's power to unite; the monster relies on our division.
Don't assume your monster is dead: aim for the head or the heart, and attack where it hurts (the monster's pockets). Remember that capitalism, when threatened, will try to maintain and/or return to power.
1492 is the original franchise, with reboots, spin-offs, remakes, sequels, and trilogies that make colonial settlement relevant to current generations.
