Lol, you still didn't refute my point.
I did.
You were contradicted on every point by the people you claim to represent..If the Panthers had their way, I would be able to explain it to you in Igbo.
BPP is a Marxist Leninism Black Nationalist Party.
Like all Marxist Leninism parties, they are revolutionary nationalists because you gotta secure your own damn country to have an international socialist revolution.
Fidel Castro was a revolutionary nationalist that turned into a Marxist Leninist. Which is why Cuba supported revolutions in Africa and Latin America.
I’m not sure if you think that repeating “they’re marxists!” 100 times nullifies the explicitly Pan-African underpinnings of the party but I’d remind you that W.E.B Du Bois was a Pan-African socialist along with Kwame Nkrumah and Franz Fannon - Three authors that the party kept on the Panther Book List as required reading.
And they focused on America and their people in America because Mao did. Huey P. Newton was a big fan of Mao, even went to China.
Good old Chairman Huey
At Chairman Huey’s funeral in Oakland, what flag did the remaining Panthers and Oakland residents fly? Must been a Town Bid’ness flag. Or was it the flag of the guy who was required reading by all Black Panthers?
I’m sure you know who this is.
Here’s Kathleen Cleaver DeLiNeAtiNg for you. Black brothers in Mexico, but not China - those are just our communist brothers..Only the AFRICANS are our real brothers.
With that, I think we’ve put this mythology to bed. They were clearly self identifying Pan-Africanists..didn’t even have to mention Dhoruba or Angela Davis.
Fidel Castro was a revolutionary nationalist that turned into a Marxist Leninist. Which is why Cuba supported revolutions in Africa and Latin America.
Here’s what Kwame Toure said about El Commandante
But I guess Toure wasn’t a pan Africanist, he was a Marxist-Leninist!!!
..The only Pan Africanists on earth are Umar, Polight and Akon!!
See, like all Western Pan-Africanists, you are stuck on culture. I don't care about culture. I care about political actions and material conditions. I already told you that the BPP arose in a revolutionary time and they were expecting to be the leaders of a revolution.
Yep, The African arm of it. You lucky I can’t find that statue of the African, Chinese and Soviet standing arm in arm.
Lol, like BPP followed Marxist Leninism to a tee, the self-defense, survival programs, schools, the ten point programs, it comes from Mao-Marx-Lenin.
So did Power To The People & the fist. You Know Nothing niggas are so ignorant of Black American history that you don’t even know we was on the frontlines of the American Socialist Party, Socialist Labor Party and the Intl Workers of the World - you gonna say Peter Clark got it from Marx too I’m sure.
Black Panther Party focused on class struggle within America with Black Americans as the leaders of a revolution. Which required raising the political consciousness of Black Americans. Which required international cooperation amongst other revolutionaries.
It didn’t. Outside of the Algerians and Cubanos allowing Cleaver refuge, the black Panther party was made up almost completely of American Blacks domestically and didn’t benefit from any international revolutionaries, flowery statements or “co-operation ”,something you pointed out in your previous post.
And then there's the LARPing of so-called American Pan-Africanists with no actual stake in Africa or African people on the continent. They tell American Black people that their salvation comes from a connection to a continent and peoples they don't belong to. They get in the way of national discussions to do bullshit because of their romantic sentiments.
Yeah, I agree that organizations based in African countries focus on issues affecting their constituency, like the EFF in South Africa or Community Movement Builders in America, these are both vocally Pan-African orgs that benefit local Africans and run Pan-African candidates in local elections to further the cause of pan africanism worldwide.
Please tell me how building housing for Black people in Oakland and Atlanta + forming African militias to save Black ATLiens benefits people in Senegal.
Why should they suffer through the culture inferiority complex and romanticism of a certain type of Western Negro that sees Africa as a fantastical place. They have serious business to discuss.
Yet, we got Black folks in America thinking it's the 60's and 70's still, inheriting a legacy of political ineffectiveness and birthing it into the 21st century and beyond. For what?
Africans in the Americas are uniquely gifted with the right to Abode in Ghana, South Eyfrika and a handful of continental states. During civil unrest-like what were very likely heading toward- Americans have historically committed mass murder against Black people (Draft Riots, LA riots, Hurricane Katrina,Kyle Rittenhouse,). Having provisions for citizenship in another country can save millions of lives as they have in the past (Haiti, Mexico, Canada). This exists solely because of the unifying work of Pan Africanists; Kwame Nkrumah invited MLK to his inauguration and put Marcus Garvey’s Black star on his flag - two of those people were mainstays on the Panther Required Reading List
Think we covered everything here.
