I consider my self a devotee of Garvey and From my studies of Garvey, he was a black capitalist through and through. Garvey first came to America as an admirer and at the invite of Booker T Washington, (who died before they could meet) and we know Booker T was not or would not have advocated communism.. Garvey would have been considered a serial entrepreneur in today’s society and believed that black peoples should develop skills to build and control their own business and then should travel and trade with each other, including Africans worldwide, which is exactly why he was out raising money for the “Black Star Line” that he planned to use as a vessel (NPI) for African, Afro Caribbean and Afro north and south American people to travel and trade amongst each other… infact Garvey was trying to finance the black star line by using capitalism, through selling stock in the company which is exactly why Hoover used the securities laws to indict and convict him. So though I appreciate the speech I don’t agree with many of the assertions… Communism has not worked for any modern society and even those countries that were once communist countries have become capitalist in function whether they claim it or not.. IE, China, Vietnam and even Russia which collapsed the Soviet Union due to the economic failures of communism. So as a Garveyite I do not believe that Communism is an economically workable solution for any civilization that wishes to thrive and not just survive economically or socially. Most modern societies that thrive are using a balance of Capitalist and Socialist economic theory in some form or other depending on their societal needs…

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"

@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.
