Now that's what I call "taken'em to church", just what I needed to wake up to on this sunday morning. Teach on Omali!

Chuuuch...
"Displaced anger" should have been the title of this one. I really connected with him when he was speaking about it of today and yesterday.

African Internationalism.... I think that is the FIRST time I ever heard of it, in those terms, that is.

Can a member of the A-APRP or any true pan-Africanist please tell me what African Internationalism is and what an African Internationalist supports, in a nut shell?

Is this not pan-Africanism? If not, does this mean Chairman Omali Yeshitela has changed his political philosophy from pan-Africanism to African Internationalism?

To me, not being a member of APSP, it's like an intergration of the nation and class analysis to reconcile the inherent conflicts between PanAfrikanism and Marxism in the Best interest of Afrikan Peoples. As you know a Nation-Class-Gender analysis is sharper than any one of those in isolation when considering our need to do struggle torwards liberation from oppression...Again, not being a member, this is only my limited understanding.

Personally, I and my work with RBG Street Scholars Think Tank is intended to be a compass of truth from all perspectives in the best interest of Afrikan peoples education and socialization...I realize that at some point getting caught up in ideology is one of our age old problems--From Garvey vs Du Bois on down.
Hope this helps sista.

HERE"S WHAT WIKI SAYS:
Premises
Yeshitela's theory of African internationalism is based on an understanding of capitalism as a "parasitic system that was born from the enslavement of African people and the oppression of colonized peoples worldwide." According to Yeshitela, capitalism originated in Europe as a result of the primitive accumulation of capital of the African slave trade. Over the course of 500 years, the development of capitalism as a world system built a base of affluence for the West upon the foundation of the colonial domination of Africans, Asians and Latin Americans. However, this history of domination has resulted in the current oppressive circumstances of African people worldwide (Yeshitela, 303).

Yeshitela defines African internationalism as a revolutionary theory through which political movements struggling to promote African liberation can understand society and social life. Yeshitela writes,

We believe that the future belongs to the dispossessed colonized workers of the world. When armed with a revolutionary theory and led by a revolutionary party, African and other oppressed workers represent the conscious, subjective forces of history necessary for the overthrow of capitalism. This is the only way to bring about the advent of a new social system under the leadership of the working masses, the real producers of all material wealth. (Yeshitela, 304)

African internationalism, according to Yeshitela, offers a revolutionary theory that "unites the African people of the world in a revolutionary process to liberate Africa under the leadership of African workers and poor peasants." (Yeshitela, 303) This concept links revolutionary movements in the continent of Africa and political movements that emerged "from within the colonized African population in the U.S." or 'internal colonialism.' (Yeshitela, 290)

I understand brother, about not getting wrapped up in the struggle between ideologies...Thanks, again, for the information.

I just wanted to know, out of the honesty of my heart.

So, yes, there is a difference between pan-Africanism and African Internationalism. And the difference between them is liken to that of the difference between black nationalism and pan-Africanism...one encompasses the other.

I did get the opportunity to read a chunk of Overturning the Culture of Violence, written by Penny Hess and based on pan-Africanism as laid out by the Chairman...Yeshitelism is the ideology. There was a very, I dont know, weak essence of pan-Africanism as I know it, under Nkrumahism-Toureism. Most of the information I knew already... that is why I discontinued the book.

I am not saying Yeshitelism is weak, not at all. I understand now that the intent was not to strengthen Pan-Africanism, but to promote a new and fresh political agenda through Yeshitelism: African Internationalism.

Thanks, again...
Forward.
