Neither Malcolm NOR the Panthers were MLs. They were part of Black radical traditions which include but exceed what is thought of as “the Left.” Stop tryin to subordinate our political self determination to yt ppl’s supposedly universal claim to ideology.

We render “the Left” in service to OUR interests and as an expression of OUR historical development, not the inverse. As Nsambu Za Suekama once said: “revolution for us is a consolidation, not a conversion.” The lost ship steered by tired seasick sailors finds its own rudder!

What we do by our authority is harness communism, anarchism, etc. to our conditions and for our liberation’s sake. Our struggle is not a subset of a presumably European claim to how class and anti-hierarchy struggle should look. Yall bitches aint the blueprint foh

When yt ppl are a global minority and colonialism as a planetary and ecogenic phenomenon provides the material basis for capitalism nobody can tell us that the yt working class is the center if revolutionary subjecthood. And yall have yet to have an actual revolution anyways lol

Anyways Cesaire, Robinson, Fanon, Claudia, Nkrumah and so msny others have proven this point from a range of perspectives too. Yall wanna keep being asinine about this and acting like it’s not in the literature, “that ain’t got nothing to do with me.”

For the ppl tryna challenge us on this thread see words from Bobby Seale and from Mumia https://twitter.com/regularsanstan/status/1374180202511704065
