The U.S. Left and Terrains of Struggle
When a factory in Ohio closes and reopens in Monterrey, the decision was enabled by a monetary system that privileges capital mobility over labor stability. When workers in Michigan are told their jobs disappeared because of free trade agreements, there remains an inability to explain that the same system which extracts value from the Global South also disciplines labor in the imperial core. . . .
Patriarchy, and the African Man
Unfortunately, for many men, the only thing we know how to do is lead with our trauma from centuries of racist subjugation and our ego. As a result, we simply cannot bring ourselves to acknowledge patriarchy as a major issue and any mention of patriarchy and marginalized gender oppression is tantamount to treason against African people to many of us. . . .
October 7, 2023: The day that changed the world
I am constantly confronted with the question: do I condemn the October 7 attack? I am a descendant of captured and enslaved Africans. In March this year, 123 of the 193 nations that comprise the UN General Assembly declared that the trafficking of captured Africans and racialized chattel enslavement of Africans was the gravest crime against humanity. 52 countries abstained, 15 countries were absent and only 3 countries voted against the resolution: the US, Israel and Argentina. On October 7, 2023, what immediately came to my mind was Nat Turner. Was he a terrorist for leading the 1831 rebellion in Virginia that targeted slave owners and their families who were committing crimes against his and his people’s humanity? . . .
Global Week of Action Against U.S. Genocide in Cuba
From October 24 to 31, as part of the global #NoWarOnCuba campaign, we call on all NNOC member organizations, friends of Cuba, and social justice organizations and movements worldwide to organize, mobilize, raise our voices, and show that the majority of the world is with Cuba. . . .
Can the UN be used as a practical tool to advance the African revolution?
A Pan-Africanist analysis of the United Nations requires that the institution be assessed through a dialectical materialist lens, through the positive and negative aspects of its historical development and current reality. The question is not simply whether the UN is “good” or “bad” in the abstract, but rather: under what conditions has it served as a terrain of struggle for the oppressed and to what extent should African peoples place trust in the United Nations today. . . .
The WNBA, Cunningham, Kanter & When DEI is Ok
Make no mistake about it, these attacks against trans athletes in women’s sports, has nothing to do with protecting “little girls.” The attacks are really a part of a larger agenda to homogenize the U.S. as a Judeo European Christian society centered around supporting international capital’s continued dominance over the entire planet. . . .
Declaration of Pan-African solidarity with the Republic of Cuba
African people cannot continue to be mere witnesses to the economic and political asphyxiation of Cuba. We must act in defense of Cuba, the same way Cuba once acted in our defense. . . .
