The House of Windsor must fall
Of all the institutions deemed ripe for ‘decolonization’ there must none greater than that bastion of white supremacy, the British royal family. For social justice advocates, the House of Windsor must seem like the ultimate symbol of western imperialism. Even its nickname, 'The Firm', smacks of a shady capitalist conspiracy. The royal family may not wield actual power these days but go back a century or so and this most embedded of institutions lorded it over an empire that covered a third of the globe. Even without real authority, the royal family still represents the apotheosis of privilege and empire. It amazes me that the House of Windsor, that ancient monument to Mammon, is still standing despite the statue-toppling activists.
