Ironically Black Communist in the US today support Chinese Capitalism and depict it as liberation from Western Capitalism. You literally can't make this stuff up.
HBCUs Entrepreneurial International Business creation is Key to self determination. Manufacturing Management Degrees + MACHINE TOOLING + Additive MANUFACTURING = FREEDOM. Go Re-Build Africa for THE NEXT GENERATION!!!
I was shocked. Pan-Africanist Erica Caines was asked recently to comment on Genocide in Sudan and DRC-Congo she claimed she didn't know what was occurring in these nations. This struct me a peculiar to witness a Pan-Africanist speak quite eloquently on Genocide in Gaza and draw a blank on Genocide occurring on the continent. Something is off here.
if racialization is constitutive of capitalism, this being a point disputed by Ellen Meiksins Wood and David Harvey, how do you account for phenomena like progressive neoliberalism (liberal anti-racism, diversity, etc) black capitalism and postmodern difference politics? a better way to describe this problem is to argue for a non-reductionist social theory where class, which is not a category of identity, is understood as central to anti-capitalism but not exclusive. you can draw connections between race and class, and between class and political economy, without getting rid of concepts like dialectics, totality, emancipation, universality, progress, mode of production, universal history, etc. against the Gerald Horne statement, the question is, as Adolph Reed and the Fields sisters would ask, how can you bring about a more equal society, across the board, with a race-first politics? the Cedric Johnson theory of racial capitalism is not a socialist theory, as Marxists at least would argue. the problem with labour is that it is weak. the problem with activist movementism is that it has no effective strategy and is mired in postmodern theory. most gains made for identity groups were made through liberal civil rights and through liberal democracy or socialism. Marxism seeks the elimination of class society. you can't eliminate whites, or men, or straights, which is why privilege theory is not a class theory. in comparison with anti-imperialism, decoloniality is anti-European and anti-socialist postmodernism. the communist manifesto: the workers have no country
More and more, I realize that we are living in a post-modern renaissance of academic deconstruction of the European version of human development. Thank Allah for the emotional intelligence of Black women who bring humanity's capacity to characterize a return to a more wholesome and meaningful existence... a pan-African mentor used to say "We're never going to be completely free until we know our African personality in the Diaspora"
Would love to hear more from these brilliant people about their take on the various conceptions of socialist organization. “The question of revolutionary organization” has a long intellectual and practical history that seems to be avoided.
While I consider myself a student of Dr. CBS, I disagree with the idea of rejecting our 'American' identity. I am, and I think MOST black people see themselves as African American.
Great discussion, especially the part about Marcus Garvey's changing relationships to communism and anti-imperialism. Pan Africanists need to pay close attention.

@@beyondaboundary6034 I offer the same solution the BLA (or the IRA before the capitulation of Sinn Féin) offered - armed struggle. FIBUA. asymmetric warfare. if you're scared or can't lift your own body weight.... stay at home.
Perhaps this is their DOing and your DOing is supposed to be whatever you think that is. However, to say they are not doing anything is a discredit to intellectual work they’ve clearly put in.
@tgerard3860 I will always advocate and support Arm Struggle, but be realistic, how many people can actively and readily engage in arm struggle in America? The left does not have the power or people to go this route with us getting totally annihilate. We should be focusing on education, we should be focusing on labour organizing, we should be building structures to support our communities, we can't synthesize arm struggle until the support behind it is actualized within our communities.
The white people's question has been answered by the African People's Socialist Party who have white solidarty groups working under their direction, i.e. APSC, and USM.
Before I watch the rest of the video, I just have to say off the bat that as a Black Disabled Comrade, I’m so happy to see this masked event and I love seeing all the masked faces from a lot of the speakers. We keep us safe.
Whoa, what an eye opener, ordered this book Immediately, Dr. Orisanmi Burton is a Jewel, didn’t realize that Prisons are designed to Incarcerate Black Revolutionary Politics and that Prisons was designed interrupt Blk. Rev. Consciousness on the Outside.... I knew it was something about Attica and other prison rebellions I/we didn't comprehend. State Propaganda, Spin is a form of counter Insurgency, mind control.
There’s this way people try to force the “tip of the spear” argument down your throat in the name of revolution, without any recognition of other social theories that might object to it. I’m not sure people want to think of prisons that way, or need to?
Supposedly, most of the Aztecs were black, and they had floating gardens, floating vegetable farms, were great at soil erosion control. Chia seeds are from them.
"The problem I have is not so much the repression, it's the way in which these dominant, liberal, obfuscating criminal justice narratives prevent us from understanding that what is unfolding is war." BARS
I can't wait to get this book. I would suggest to everyone to read "Blood in the Water: The Attica Prison Uprising..." before getting this book. Yeah, Jared Ball chill'n sipping an IPA
So programism is bad now because people don't listen to the program and the solution is to just "vibe" with the masses? That literally already happen in the Occupy and Floyd movement. The problem was and has always been the lack of coherent program for the masses to digest
Actually most of the land were stolen from the indigenous Aborigines first people here from the beginning inhabitants. And these people are now called misnomer titles every two years. Europeans Afrikanas of Dutch descent, British etc that invaded our ancestors took the land by force. This is the reason we’re displaced today. Our identity, land, culture, inheritance, legacies language, rights, privilege, spirituality, etc were stolen and then given to foreigners that migrated here for a better life at the expense of our people ancestral land being stolen from us the offspring. Now we are buying land that’s already our inheritance that should have been passed down through generations.
