The American "Revolution" was a capitalist one. It's nothing worth celebrating.

Maybe don't put quotes from slaveowners glorifying their imperial project under a post on Kwame Ture.

Absolutely, some of the most effective violence has been entirely aimed at property. In most cases causing collateral damage hurts the goal of political violence more than it helps. Because the main way it's effective is with public support. Start hitting stray civilians and you can forget public sympathy.

the assumption that political violence must mean dead or maimed people says something about the people saying.

back in 2017, the mexican threw a couple bricks and broke a couple windows like americans used to do during the civil rights era and they ended up getting president Shienbaum because of it -- meanwhile our aversion gave us trump.

As a black man, without violence my ancestors would still be slaves, so I would take violence against my white masters every day even if I die trying.

”What do We mean by the Revolution? The War? That was no part of the Revolution. It was only an Effect and Consequence of it.

The Revolution was in the Minds of the People, and this was effected, from 1760 to 1775, in the course of fifteen years before a drop of blood was drawn at Lexington.” -John Adams

Damn, In all my time studying african American history in Uni I somehow didn't find out about his. Do you have any resources on anti-african bigotry from african american communities? I'm gonna do some research obviously but if you have any I'd love to have them linked ❤️

Edit: I was aware there existed a cultural disconnect betwern African Americans and Africans but I didn't realize their was bigotry involved.

A more enlightened position is to understand that Africa is made up and doesn’t exist. Statism was contrived specifically to make such “hatred” possible.

Malcolm X was speaking directly about African Americans who harbored hatred or disdain toward Africa and African people.

In the speech, he explicitly uses the collective "we" to address his Black American audience, explaining how centuries of systemic racism and colonial propaganda had caused them to internalize a hatred of their own origins.

Malcolm X was diagnosing a specific trauma within the Black American community. He explained that because colonial powers had projected Africa in a negative light for centuries (as "jungle savages, cannibals, nothing civilized"), Black Americans began to hate it.

What was the context for this? Who was hating on Africa?

Noooooo Malcolm, do you not understand that "power corrupts"? You need to remain civil and powerless while fighting for powerless to remain powerless!

Albanians have a saying that even dogs not eating money. Period

Having no money and therefore no agency is almost certainly linked to not being happy.

So have to be wealthy to get some time to yourself? Honestly this sounds pretty good to me. But also fuck that guy. Read Lenin

"You should have died in the line of duty, Woodrow. You’d know how to do that fine. The problem is you don’t know how to live"

He sounds like a hoarder

Dragons, the lot of them

Meanwhile, that’s just me with no dividends.

I would amend that, to "the only pleasure of the powerful is power".

The only good thing about this despicable ghoul is that it is dead, may oceans of piss flood its grave.

Being feared is what makes them happy and having fuck you money makes them carefree. The pursuit of power is their pursuit of happiness.
