About Me!

Who are You?
I’m Ms. Sonell, a revolutionary communist and a Muslim. I’m also trans and a lesbian. Despite what you may think, none of these are contradictory.

What is Communism?
Communism is the movement of the oppressed to achieve liberation from all forms of domination. This includes liberation from bosses and One-Percenters like Jeff Bezos who make an average of $107 million per day, while the rest of us either struggle from paycheck to paycheck, work in forced labor conditions like sweatshops and prisons, or live under utterly corrupt regimes daily exploited by countries like the USA and EU.

What is Islam?
Islam is a religious and political movement founded as such by Prophet Muhammed, upon whom be peace. Following the footsteps of earlier Biblical Prophets such as Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, the Prophet Muhammad called his people to a remembrance of Justice, love of God and Neighbor, and an embrace of peace and compassion. Over the years of his activity, Islam arose as a religion, both old and new, that sought to enact God’s Justice and Compassion in the world. Today over 1 billion people in the world claim adherence to some form of Islam.

Who are the Oppressed?
The oppressed are the Laborers, People of Oppressed Genders (like Trans Folks, Women, Non-binary folks, and people in the varied gender arrangements worldwide,) Afro-Amerikans, Indigenous Amerikans, and colonized people everywhere, Disabled people, the Elderly, the Youth, the Illiterate and Undereducated, the Homeless and Houseless.

What does liberation look like?
Liberation will mean the removal from power of the 1% and their political and corporate allies, and the creation of a political power based in the economic power of the oppressed.
