→What is to be Done? Black Lives Matter OR Black Liberation Movement?
{{quotebox|This is the most pivotal question of our time for Afro-descended people and New Afrikans generally. There is a genocidal war being waged, which is the legacy of our colonial status to the US. In the 50s and 60s the question was between a [[Civil Rights Movement]], which attempted to integrate blacks into the society ending their second class status under [[apartheid]], and there was the Black Liberation Movement, which saw its struggle in a global revolutionary context. as part of an anti-imperialist and anti-capitalist struggle being waged world wide.....

Civil rights had won, but today there are more Black people in jail than were enslaved. Today there are Blacks being killed every 28 hours with impunity. The path for our survival is nothing short of revolution. And in the global context we are not alone. US White power imperialism has identified who the enemy is. Blacks are ‘thugs,’ Muslims are ‘terrorists,’ and Latinos are ‘illegal aliens.’ The struggle for New Afrikan liberation is one which can only be achieved in understanding the need for a revolutionary [[united front]] against a common enemy. This is likewise hinges on organizing the lowest sections of society, the [[working class]], because unlike upper class Blacks, working class New Afrikans have no stake in White power US Imperialism, like upper class Blacks do. Working class Blacks are the pivot to uniting and leading [[middle-class]] Black [[progressive]]s, and even some sections of the [[criminal]] class who is exploited by being excluded from production. A revolutionary united front with the immigration movement, and the women’s and queer movements is on the horizon.<ref>https://revolutionarystudents.wordpress.com/2015/07/24/blm-or-blm-black-lives-matter-or-black-liberation-movement/</ref>}}

The Black Liberation Movement of the 60s and 70s was plagued with patriarchal and homophobic practices and ideas which set back the movement for liberation. We need to view our struggle as part of a global struggle; [[Palestinian]]s under [[Israel]]i occupation were the first people changing tactics to resistance fighters in Ferguson against tear gas and other defenses against militarized police. We need to have a clarity of who the enemy is. The recent focus on the confederate flag misses the fact that this flag is not in political power, that this flag only represents one small section of the enemie’s ranks. The US flag has not only killed and exploited our communities more, it represents the current enemy we are fighting.
What will revolution take? Sacrifice, blood, tears, theory, organization and, fundamentally, people. There needs to be various organizations organizing different sections of the people: students, women, tenants, workers, etc., etc., able to carry out revolutionary struggle locally. There needs to be a revolutionary political party, which is disciplined and dedicated to coordinate strategically and withstand attacks from the [[US government]]. <ref>https://revolutionarystudents.wordpress.com/2015/07/24/blm-or-blm-black-lives-matter-or-black-liberation-movement/</ref>}}
