Weaponized Information Editorial Line Statement
Internal Document – 2025 Edition
Mission
Weaponized Information exists to serve the ideological, political, and organizational needs of the global working class and peasantry. We are an anti-colonial, anti-imperialist propaganda institution guided by the historical mission of the proletariat to overthrow capitalism, destroy the colonial world system, and liberate humanity.
Our purpose is not merely to report the news, but to intervene in it. We seek to arm the oppressed with theory, analysis, and clarity, and to expose the lies, contradictions, and manipulations of the ruling class. We reject the myth of objectivity under capitalism. All information is weaponized—ours is weaponized for liberation.
Editorial Line
1. Colonialism Is the System, Not the Exception
The world as we know it was born in slavery, genocide, and land theft. The U.S. is not a “flawed democracy” but a settler-colonial empire built on Indigenous genocide and African enslavement. The colonial contradiction is not historical—it is ongoing and central.
We uphold the right to national liberation and self-determination of all colonized peoples, inside and outside the imperial core. We approach all questions—race, class, war, migration, capital, technology—through the lens of colonialism and its reproduction.
2. Capitalism Is in Crisis; Technofascism Is Its Form
We are living in a new stage of imperialist crisis. As the global capitalist system decays, it takes on a fascist character—rooted in surveillance, counterinsurgency, digital propaganda, and militarized control of labor and information.
We define this new phase as technofascism: the fusion of monopoly finance capital, Big Tech, and the repressive state into a single apparatus of domination. This is the ruling class’s solution to ecological collapse, economic stagnation, and global rebellion.
Technofascism is the internal structure of late capitalism. Its external face is hyper-imperialism: a violent, multipolar, multi-tech, resource-driven war against the Global South and the planet itself.
3. We Speak to the Global Proletariat and Peasantry
Our audience is the poor and colonized majority of the world—not NGOs, liberal media, or settler academia. We write for workers, peasants, migrants, prisoners, and revolutionaries. We use accessible language without dumbing down the analysis. We speak plainly but sharply.
All contributors must ground their work in a class line that centers the superexploited, the internally colonized, and the international working class. The primary aim is political clarity and revolutionary usefulness.
4. The White Working Class Must Be Approached Dialectically
We reject both liberal identity politics and reactionary whiteness. The white working class is a contradictory formation—often complicit in empire, yet materially exploited and increasingly disposable under technofascism.
Our task is to analyze, expose, and intervene in this contradiction—not to moralize it. We draw inspiration from past defections from the settler project (e.g., abolitionists, anti-war resisters, solidarity movements) while offering a new line for building principled, anti-colonial, multinational unity.
5. Counterinsurgency Is the Ruling Class Doctrine
The U.S. state is a counterinsurgency regime. Every institution—school, police, media, prison, psychiatry, border, internet—is designed to preempt, neutralize, or repress rebellion, particularly in colonized communities.
All contributors must study counterinsurgency doctrine as part of their intellectual training. We expose the psychological, informational, and ideological methods used to pacify the oppressed and manufacture consent for empire.
6. We Practice Guerrilla Intellectualism
We follow in the tradition of Walter Rodney, George Jackson, Margaret Kimberly, Dr. CBS and others. Our journalism is not neutral—it is partisan. Our analysis is not academic—it is political. Our tone is militant, sharp, and unapologetically revolutionary.
Writers are expected to:
- Maintain ideological discipline
- Use historical materialism as a method
- Situate analysis within the colonial-imperial system
- Avoid liberal moralism and reformist illusions
- Stay grounded in political struggle and organizational relevance
Content Priorities and Rubrics
- Daily News & Propaganda: Reframe world events from a revolutionary, anti-colonial perspective. Short, sharp, and accessible to the masses.
- Deep Analysis: Essays rooted in theory, history, and political economy. These anchor our line and train cadres.
- Investigative Reporting: Expose the networks of capital, tech, state, and military power that structure the modern world.
- Historical Memory: Reclaim revolutionary history. Expose counterrevolutionary myths.
- Organizational Relevance: Speak directly to organizing efforts, struggles, and movement building.
Conclusion
The capitalist ruling class has weaponized every institution to maintain its power. We respond in kind—not with disinformation, but with the organized, militant use of revolutionary truth.
Weaponized Information is not a media brand. It is a weapon in the hands of the people. Every article we publish is a bullet aimed at the heart of empire.
