Speaking for myself, I'm strictly into educational revolution. In order for Black people in amerikkka to be fully aware of their identity they must be taught the truth, not the misleading info they are force fed in the current educational system. The children must be taught more in-depth Afrikan amerikan history beyond, Malcolm, Martin, Rosa Parks etc. Political revolution and all else will fall in line.

If you ask me Martin's cause was on the right track but in the end, integregation hurt us more than it helped. I believe their school system really jacked us up. Uhuru!

Education is certainly a piece of the puzzle. Stay BlackNificent!

I think the word "revolutionary" is thrown around too much and too many people call themselves revolutionaries without fully understanding revolution and what it takes to be a revolutionary.

In my opinion, it takes years and alot of constant progressive work for the People to be even close to earning the title "revolutionary". People like Malcolm, Kwame Nkrumah, Kwame Ture, Seku Ture, Assata Shakur, etc are prime examples of revolutionaries.

Malcolm and Kwame Nkrumah were definately the greatest revolutionaries of all time. They epitomized the term. To become the first of your race to actually WIN and lead a people to freedom like Kwame Nkrumah did for the Ghanaians is precisely what being a revolutionary is all about.

That's not to discredit others such as Huey P. Newton, Malcolm X and Marcus Garvey. They just weren't as successful. They left their mark and their legacy, but didn't make it as far as Nkrumah.

So in conclusion, I define a revolutionary as a person who demands the attention of his/her people and feeds off the power of the people to lead them to liberation. In turn he/she educates the people by providing them with the neccessary tools/information needed to play a role in the revolution.

Great thread. Keep it going. What do the comrades think?

[Mordecai_7]

A Revolutionary is a man or woman who has committed themselves in selfless sacrifice to his or her Cause, knowing full well that he or she may not live to see the fruit of the collective Revolutionary labor.

[Abasi]

A revolutionary is any force who unites, in word and deed, with revolutionary theory and practice. (A revolutionary is one who is actively engaged in revolutionary work. The key thing is the political line one adheres to and the manifestation of this line in the real world.)

At minimum, a revolutionary is one who desires to and actively works to completely overturn the current order of things and replace it with a more progressive system. This means that we must be moving forward, therefore, one who struggles to defeat capitalism must be struggling for socialism, because a struggle for anything else is a struggle to move backwards.

There is so much more to being a revolutionary, and a lot of it has been said in this thread. But if we have to sum it up, I believe this is the most correct, basic definition.
