yillamin host Keiran Stewart-Assheton provides further analysis on the notions and phenomenons that exist around electoralism, and the propaganda that exists to encourage people to participate in the settler democracy of so-called Australia.

Topics from the episode:

- why settler elections are not a forum for First Nations liberation

- how representation within a colonisers' system is a trap

- the manufactured illusion of choice in colonial democracy

- why true power and First Nations autonomy does not come from the ballot, but from the land

- how settler guilt is weaponised to coerce participation in colonial democracy

- why settler politcal parties will never deliver First Nations justice

- why First Nations governmental structures should be built and implemented as an alternative to colonial democracy
