Oh, heck, why don’t we learn from Zimbabwe, too. They know how to put white people in their place,

South Africa and the United States are presently in the early stages of a militant mass Black movement.

Militant? Hmm. I thought these protests were supposed to be peaceful? I know this was written in a Black newspaper but it doesn’t try to hide the fact that this entire movement is radical and anti-capitalist.

If these stupid, parasitic bastards try their South African terrorism techniques here, they’ll find that Americans defend ourselves. Attempted “necklacing”, Mandela style, would be a poor choice indeed.

Their Triskilon flag is not really a variation of the Nazi flag — it’s “three sevens”.

Got a good laugh out of that. Who do they think they’re kidding?

Sorry, but where I come from, E.F.F. stands for Electronic Frontier Foundation. Their strong Internet privacy stance appeals to both sides of the aisle, but they could probably do better if they dropped their support for network neutrality.

THIS E.F.F. (Economic Freedom Fighters) can go rot in Hell.

Mislead and spurred on by the words and deeds of Obama and Holder these suckers are pawns of the communists who put Obama in office.
II. What Is The Black Colony-

Not every colony of people oppressed by imperialism lies outside the boundaries of the US. Black people within North America, brought here 400 years ago as slaves and whose labor, as slaves, built this country, are an internal colony within the confines of the oppressor nation.

III. The Struggle For Socialist Self-Determination

The struggle of black people— as a colony— is for self-determination, freedom, and liberation from US imperialism.

IV. Black Liberation Means Revolution

What is the relationship of the struggle for black self-determination to the whole worldwide revolution to defeat US imperialism and internationalize its resources toward the goal of creating a classless world- No black self-determination could be won which would not result in a victory for the international revolution as a whole.

V. Anti-Imperialist Revolution And The United Front

Since the strategy for defeating imperialism in semi-feudal colonies has two stages, the new democratic stage of a united front to throw out imperialism and then the socialist stage, some people suggest two stages for the US too— one to stop imperialism, the anti-imperialist stage, and another to achieve the dictatorship of the proletariat, the socialist stage.

"worldwide revolution to defeat US imperialism and internationalize its resources"

The people who installed Obama have long sought to exploit race to further their communist agenda. (additional info about Ayer's, SDS and Obama here)

Many of the groups behind the protests/riots in Ferguson (just a few examples: Ferguson October, The Organization for Black Struggle) spout the SDS agenda.

By the way, if anyone’s interested. There are two superb books giving valuable background on the situation in South Africa.

“Against These Three” by Stuart Cloete 1947

and

“The Washing of the Spears” by Donald R. Morris 1966

I read The Washing of the Spears by Donald R. Morris in the 1980s. Fascinating book.

I have a darker skin color and even I found this article to be stupid.

1) Examine the historical weakness and strengths of the BLM

2) Assess the current state of the BLM

3) Create an independent Black organization (party, congress, united front etc)

4) Develop a five- to ten-year plan for the Black Community

- a few things though I will be sarcastic typing this,

1. What the hell is Black liberation, for I do not need to be liberated, I feel very liberated and free in my good area in the state of New Hampshire currently.

2. Black congress, I took AP history and a government course in High School I do not know that would even work, and there is a place you can get all that, in a continent south of Europe, West of the Mid East, unless they want to Balkanize the US.

3. What the hell is Black community, last I checked I do not live in one nor care to at the moment and where I live is 98% white, nor see eye to eye with every darker skinned person I see in my life which is the lot of them, but then again I do not see eye to eye with a vast majority of humans on earth lol.
