One thing that I am confused on is the title of African Scientific Socialism.
What is this African Internationalism?
Finally, who's ideology are you presenting to the People? |
Much respect, and thanks for the praise, my sister. I am not trying to invent any new theory, yet attempting to define and clarify positions already staked out in the African liberation movement. African Internationalism is Nkrumah's Pan Africanism as articulated by the self-led African proletariat (working class revolutionary). It is Pan Africanism for the masses and has a sharper class analysis.
By African scientific socialism (okay, I was like slinging terms, but this is still accurate) you may refer to an earlier discussion where people were posting about the end of capitalism. I wrote something to the effect that we have to bring down Imperialism, it cannot just be allowed to fall because that will unleash all the forces of reaction. Not only that, but we have to destroy the economic fodder of capitalism.
That is -- in the gist of what I sed -- we must diminish the power of asset-backed paper. Not because we have paper, since we don't. But because the Imperialists will still be able to
buy what they need, including armies, entire communities, etc., to hold onto power. Scientific socialism is a class state which turns society upside down and places the masses in power to destroy the ruling classes. So African scientific socialism is that same thing applied to Africa, and to African people wherever we are. But more importantly, African scientific socialism unites with other revolutionary formations and movements. Yet it claims singular leadership over the African people. In doing so, we claim leadership over the revolution in the US because the white Left is incapable of fighting racism and Imperialism, and Africans at this time have the sharpest analysis.
Uhuru, sister, hope this is clear enuf for people to understand. Sometimes my articulation leaves a lot to be desired.
