Revolutionary Pan-Africanism: ________________________________
Revolutionary Pan-Africanism: Revolutionary Pan-Africanism: The Solution To The Problems Of People Of African Decent! "We Are African People" are words we hear all over the hood and all over the world. These words have come to answer our search for identity and our search for dignity and respect; a search made necessary due to our forced scattering across the world and the rape and carving of out great Mother land, Africa by the brutal system of capitalism. amerikkkan capitalism and certainly the amerikkkan government has confused many of us into thinking that we are something other than Africans. In defiance of our enemy's attempt to redefine us we shout, " We Are African People". When looked on as a slogan related to our struggle against amerikkkan capitalism this becomes a voice of rebellion defining our liberation struggle to reclaim our legacy and build a liberated, unified and socialist Africa and liberate African people world wide. Revolutionary Pan-Africanism, which can only be correctly defined as the total liberation and unification of Africa under Scientific-Socialism. This definition necessarily includes the liberation of Africans in the Diaspora, who suffer from the effects of capitalism and racism. This definition implies that Africans outside of Africa are not a nation but part of the developing African nation and are an integral part of the African Revolution and a vital part of the Revolutionary Pan-African strategy. We must make revolution wherever we are, recognizing that the core of the Black revolution is in Africa. We must never view our struggle in isolation to the overall struggle of Africans. THE AFRICAN REVOLUTION IS ONE STRUGGLE. AFRICA IS OUR NATION The African revolutionary struggle is a fight for land and a fight to reclaim and develop our culture. Africa is the source of our strength and the key to our liberation. As Malcolm X so prophetically said, "I agree with Nkrumah, Pan-Africanism is the solution to the problems of people of African decent" The struggle of African people must be internationally coordinated with liberated areas in Africa along with Revolutionary Pan-African organizations in Africa being the basis of this international struggle. Imperialism is an international force and we can only defeat it with an international strategy. Any organization of Africans outside of Africa that does not have organizational and strategic links to the struggle on the African continent as well as the struggles of our peoples in the Diaspora is doomed to failure. Our struggle in amerikkka must be organizational and ideologically connected to the struggle in Africa and the world wide African revolutionary struggle. We must understand that our diversity is an element that is compatible with unity and strength. Africans organized internationally would be a formidable force that can surround and annihilate imperialism. "ALL PEOPLE OF AFRICAN DECENT, WHETHER THEY LIVE IN NORTH OR SOUTH AMERICA, THE CARIBBEAN, OR ANY OTHER PART OF THE WORLD ARE AFRICANS AND BELONG TO THE AFRICAN NATION"--Kwame Nkrumah, Class Struggle PAN - AFRICANISM IS THE SOLUTION! The long history and culture of African people, is reflected in our courageous quest to make our continent into a nation. Our struggle is a people struggle. Revolutionary Pan-Africanism represents the highest aspirations of our scattered, suffering people. It necessarily goes beyond nationalism and micro-nationalism. Our struggle in amerikkka - for example - can never historically or morally be the end results because this land belongs to the indigenous people of the Western hemisphere. Even though Africans may remain in amerikkka in the millions after the destruction of amerikkkan capitalism; we can never claim to be the leaders of this land; that would contradict all that we have fought for. Our struggle is a just struggle and as our great African freedom fighter M.L. King has said, "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." Revolutionary Pan-Africanism is a part of the world socialist movement against capitalism. We enter the international stage from the womb of our great culture and the revolutionary African Personality. We know that the liberation of Africa is the emancipation of humanity. We are anti-capitalist as well as anti-zionist. Capitalism has consolidated class divisions within our nation and in our communities, where a small, selfish, corrupt and confused minority helps to exploit their own sisters and brothers - the working, unemployed and peasant masses. Therefore, the people cannot be free without class struggle. We must struggle against negative non-Africans and negative Africans at the same time. We must struggle as a developing nation and struggle against those who are enemies within the nation. We call this a nation-class -struggle. This nation class movement will unify our national aspirations with the revolutionary requirement of our liberation. Our national interest is the people's interest and not the interest of some backward elite, be it in Africa, amerikkka or wherever! Revolutionary Pan-Africanism clarifies our identity, counteracts our exploitation and gives revolutionary vision to the work that must be done. ANY AFRICAN CAN WORK FOR THE OBJECTIVE OF REVOLUTIONARY PAN-AFRICANISM NO MATTER WHERE WE ARE IN THE WORLD. In the words of Malcolm X, writing from Accra Ghana on May11, 1964 "Even though we might remain in America physically while fighting, we must return to Africa philosophically and culturally and develop a working unity in the framework of Pan-Africanism."--Malcolm X "AFRICA WILL BE FREE...UNIFIED...AND SOCIALIST"--Kwame Ture __________________ Nov 2, 2008 "Assata Shakur Liberation Day" marks 29 yrs of freedom --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Sending your posting to [email protected] Unsubscribe by sending an email to [email protected] You can also visit http://groups.google.com/group/payco Visit our website at www.mayihlome.wordpress.com -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
