I don't see how leveling power for all our people is a bad thing.

I don't see how leveling power for all our people is a bad thing.

They don't get it...

Even though I believe in state power just to overthrow the neo-liberals and shyt...

Communism and Anarchism got the same end goal...no castes, no classes, no state, no money - happiness for all.

Why Am I An Anarchist?
The Anarchist movement in North America is overwhelmingly white, middle class, and for the
most part, pacifist so the question arises: why am I a part of the Anarchist movement, since I am
none of those things? Well, although the movement may not now be what I think it should be
in North America, I visualize a mass movement that will have hundreds of thousands, perhaps
millions of Black, Hispanic and other non-white workers in it. It will not be an Anarchist move-
ment that Black workers and the other oppressed will just “join” — it will be an independent
movement which has its own social outlook, cultural imperative, and political agenda. It will be
Anarchist at its care, but it will also extend Anarchism to a degree no previous European social
or cultural group ever has done. I am certain that many of these workers will believe, as I do, that
Anarchism is the most democratic, effective, and radical way to obtain our freedom, but that we
must be free to design our own movements, whether it is understood or “approved” by North
American Anarchists or not. We must fight for our freedom, no one else can free us, but they can
help us.

You laugh, but there is power in actual, grounded solidarity. We've seen this with Democratic styled groups and movements.

I mean, I can point to occurrences in history alone that shows this to be the case.

Asks self:
Why can't "my people" come up with their own theoretical models as opposed to trying to "black-enize white thought"

Where do you think white folk got the idea for Anarchism?

All they did was add a academic twist on a very straight forward model for a society.

Let me guess, next thing your going to say is....

• Where do you think white folk got the idea for Communism?
• All they did was add a academic twist on a very straight forward model for a society.

...
......​

1. Primitive communism: as in co-operative tribal societies.
2. Slave society: a development of tribal to city-state; aristocracy is born.
3. Feudalism: aristocrats are the ruling class; merchants evolve into capitalists.
4. Capitalism: capitalists are the ruling class, who create and employ the proletariat.
5. -----------overthrow of capitalism by a socialist proletariat revolution-------------
6. Socialism: working class effectively owning the means of production and the means of their livelihood so that the social surplus accrues to the working class and society as a whole.
7. Communism: common ownership of the means of production with free access to the articles of consumption and is classless and stateless, predicated upon a superabundance of material wealth, which is postulated to arise from advances in production technology

(Thus implying the end of the exploitation of labour.)​

That "academic twist" is exactly what I ment when I said...

Asks self:
Why can't "my people" come up with their own theoretical models as opposed to trying to "black-enize white thought"

I'm less interested in white thought on black phenomena for the same reasons that I'm less interested in white feminist thought on black phenomena.

It's every man for himself ... would you advocate this if you had your own businesses, land and other trappings of success ?

If it could enrich the lives of others, why not?
