The Crisis of Imperialism and the future of humanity
Omali Yeshitela  African Internationalism: Key to understanding  imperialism’s crisis
We believe that a united world without oppressors and the oppressed is possible and necessary
To get there we have to begin by acknowledging the truth
Yeshitela: Capitalism is parasitic,  built on slavery, colonialism, genocide, conquest…
Creating a pedestal of prosperity and democracy for white people.
Oppressor nations live at the expense of Oppressed nations
Struggles around the world: Gaza, India/Pakistan, Somalia U.S. war, terror, counterinsurgency: Response to resistance by oppressed
U.S. backed Israeli slaughter in Palestine Obama’s response: “No comment”
Republicans, Democrats: same parasitic capitalist ruling class
Imperialist imposed poverty, starvation, displacement worldwide
Colonialism, poverty, oppression  inside  the U.S.
Struggle for self-determination: Oppressed peoples taking back stolen resources, land, power
Struggles for self-determination inside U.S.:  African, Indigenous anti-colonial movements
Struggles for self-determination strike the critical blow to imperialism/parasitic capitalism
This is the basis for the current economic crisis
Economic crisis marks end of U.S. hegemony as “sole superpower”
Parasitic capitalism sinking in uncharted waters Stock market lost nearly half its value in 2008
2 million “prime” mortgages in default currently, almost a million more than last year. Miami homeless Africans moving into foreclosed houses.
Food stamps: $23/week 573,300 jobs lost in November 1.2 million jobs lost in last 3 months, already unemployed, no longer looking or “underemployed”  Not to mention prison population
[object Object]
But nobody talking about this. Obama always talks about “Middle class”
Detroit, Cleveland other U.S. African cities: >a third in deep poverty
U.S. manufacturing at lowest level in 60 years
TWO-THIRDS OF U.S. GDP CONSUMERISM! ,[object Object]
$8.5 trillion spent in desperate US bailouts
Bailouts only save lifestyles of these guys
Bailouts have no effect on economy as a whole
[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Bailout gave unprecedented powers to Treasury Dept. ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
 
U.S. National Debt: $10,676,487,036,342.00 ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
China, Japan and others finance U.S. debt
But U.S. power is shrinking
China tired of financing $$ Unrest because of unemployment in China as U.S. consumer economy tanks
Parasitic capitalism based on endless resources stolen from enslaved colonized people
Now capitalism outsources factories, jobs because they need cheap labor too
The capitalists will sell you the rope to hang them with-Lenin
Oppressed peoples are becoming clear: capitalism is dependent on colonial labor and resources!
 
When Africa is reunited and liberated, it will have the most powerful economy on the planet!
This is why the U.S. is setting up AFRICOM with military bases all over Africa
Bailouts, stimulus packages will deepen economic crisis
Obama can’t fix it ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Building roads and capitalist “green economy” won’t cut it
Capitalists can’t fix it ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
UN, IMF, others predict 2009 collapse of US dollar
Predictions with dollar collapse:
U.S. economy in ruins?  “Never,” say most North Americans. But without a host the parasite must die.
Why not? For 500 years white power has destroyed colonized economies, lives, resources !
Asked by London Times to a Southern newspaper editor in 1860s
[object Object]
“ Without slavery grass would grow on Wall Street…”
Impoverished European workers poured into the US for jobs, democracy, opportunity in 18-1900s
Access to pedestal of white power required one thing: Complicity in slavery, genocide The foundation of the capitalist economy
Fears of white people: They will do to us what we did to them!
Such as…
And…
 
And…
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
So, for millions of people food shortages & currency deflation are ordinary
Imperialism needs imperialist peace to continue its exploitation
500 years of resistance has rocked imperialist power
 
 
1712 and 1741--enslaved Africans waged major organized uprisings in New York city--were well organized. Twenty percent of New York’s residents were enslaved Africans. The white people called them “conspiracies” meaning they were well organized.
1521 Aztecs resist Cortes and Spanish invasion. Bernal Diaz and Cortes--found Tenochtitlan (at the site of today’s Mexico City) to be the most splendid and beautiful site they had ever seen. Markets, cleanliness, birds and flowers, artists, poets, street theater, prosperity. Then slaughtered the people and destroyed the city within a few years.
 
Anti-colonial movements of 1960s
1960s U.S. Black Power Movement: Urban African workers in U.S. • Anti-colonial movement
Black Power Movement of the 1960s shook the U.S. to its very foundations. Was an anti-colonial movement inside this country, struggle for political power after voting and civil rights were won. Defined African people as a colonial people, part of the overall African liberation struggle. Black Power Movement of the 60s
U.S. counterinsurgency against national liberation
COINTELPRO  U.S. counterinsurgency against Black Power Movement
As part of counterinsurgency US set up Neocolonialism
Mandela & owner of DeBeers diamonds: Neocolonialism facilitates the  ongoing looting of Africa’s resources
Neocolonialism: last stage of imperialism
Real problems in white society sitting on pedestal We want to see world without any oppression
GLBT and Women’s oppression
Workers
Environmental destruction
Disability rights
Domestic violence
Substance abuse, alienation
But we have fought for our rights  at the expense of the African and oppressed communities
Our goal cannot be to become an equal opportunity oppressor… Sitting comfortably on the pedestal of the oppression of African and colonized peoples!
Women’s, Gay Liberation sparked by Black Liberation
Women’s Liberation?
 
The colonizer Cecil Rhodes was gay!
Our goal is to end the system of oppressor and oppressed!
Our oppressive ruling class is the same parasitic capitalist class responsible for war destruction, suffering and oppression around the world
The ruling class does not care about gays, women or working people
White people on the pedestal gives them a base of support for their imperialist plunder
When they no longer need us we are dispensable
A system built on the backs of the enslaved will be overturned by the leadership of the slave
In this time of crisis it’s every capitalist ruler for him/her self. They take the money and run
Do we fight for dying white power?
Or join the rest of humanity?
Life at the expense of African, oppressed peoples is no life at all!
Those who created the problems can’t solve them
Parasitic capitalism has got to go!
The African Revolution: liberating Africa and the world!
Africans are one people around the world
Africa’s resources for African people !
African Socialist International African workers lead the struggle to liberate Africa and African people
 
Uhuru Red, Black and Green: Sustainability and dual power for the African working class
African People’s Solidarity Committee A place where white people can be part of changing the world!
Uhuru means freedom!
