One day soon, capitalism will join communalism, slavery, and feudalism, as former systems of dominance in the world. And the people’s of the planet will have their time to shape scientific socialism in the ways needed. For African people that will manifest itself in the creation of one unified socialist Africa. For others, it may look different, but all of this work will serve the purpose of advancing socialist construction for the following stage of human development i.e. world communism, and so on and so on. Kwame Ture could not have provided a more accurate example of this when asked about why he moved from Black power to Pan-Africanism. . . .

How Imperialism Engineered a Failed State in the Congo
Let’s start with the fundamental truth: the Congo’s current condition is no accident. When journalist Benedicte Kumbi Ndjoko says “In Congo, globalized capitalism creates permanent chaos,” he’s describing a system functioning precisely how it was designed, a system where the West gets rich by keeping the Congo poor, destabilized, and open for plunder. The modern Democratic Republic of Congo is not a country that collapsed, it is a colony deliberately organized for extraction and exploitation. This should be one of the wealthiest and most powerful nations on earth. It holds the minerals that power our phones, electric cars, and the . . .
Social Democracy Will Not Save Us
The Black Liberation Movement in the United States has reached an almost unprecedented level of ideological confusion. Unlike in the 20th century, significant sections of the contemporary Black Left openly embrace an understanding of ‘identity politics’[i] that is based in philosophical idealism.[ii] A somewhat resurgent US Left has, correctly, begun to critique these perceived political errors. Unfortunately, social democrats such as DSA, Jacobin and Cedric Johnson in his award-winning article[iii] add to the ideological confusion. This essay asserts that contrary to the claims of advancing democracy and freedom, social democracy has consistently undermined the struggle for national liberation and socialism. In 1896, Eduard Bernstein, the . . .
French Imperialism vs. Crypto Colonialism
The Central African Republic (CAR) recently added Bitcoin as a legal currency, tokenized natural resources, and even created a “cryptocurrency economic zone” called Sango—following in the footsteps of El Salvador. The CAR is still using its French currency (CFA franc) just like El Salvador is still using the American dollar.

Imperialism Was Built on Settler-Colonialism
Abstract This paper builds on Nkrumah’s approach of starting from the point of knowing the enemy. Collective imperialism, sham independence and neo-colonialism as described in Book One Chapter One of Nkrumah’s Handbook of Revolutionary Warfare are re-examined in the context of 21st century globalization. Capitalism was built on the theft of land and resources in the process of colonization. The most extensive exploitation of land and resources resulted in the near extermination of indigenous peoples and the creation of powerful settler regimes that serve to support the dominance of USA-European capitalism. Racism played a key role in justifying the barbaric . . .
How Afro-Colombians are Fighting White Feminism
To truly protect and liberate Black women in Latin America we must move away from the dominant liberal white feminist movement and instead call for the end of neoliberal led armed conflict, racist over policing, and demand Land rights and the redistribution of Land back to Black and Indigenous folx! . . .
