Imagine.Create.Build.
By Master See
Many Afrikans in capitalist America are aware that things are not going well for us today. Unfortunately, after 400 years Afrikans in America still have very little political and consequently very little economic leverage.
After struggling with a series of neo-liberal and neo-conservative presidents, economic slowdowns and recessions, recurring health crises, increasing violence, inflation, police pogroms, mass incarceration, et al, Afrikans are seemingly unable to conceive of and implement life-saving, life-enhancing activities and institutions to serve the People. Thus, Afrikans remain mired at the bottom of virtually all social indicators. Check the statistics sometime!
One thing’s for sure and in keeping with radical Critical Race Theory, institutional racism and patriarchy are, for all intents and purposes, permanent and unchangeable. Consequently, if Afrikans are unable to implement Imagine.Create.Build., then continued survival as a healthy, viable people is in serious jeopardy.
ime-ime and Imagine.Create.Build.
Step# 1: Implement ime-ime, Internal Revolution, which is the acquisition of the Afrikan centered Knowledge, Values and Skills (AKVS) needed to end dependency on European capitalist men.
Step# 2: Imagine - Achieving AKVS at high levels releases the Afrikan imagination from the debilitating effects of the false propaganda contained in the Dominant Capitalist Narrative.
AKVS counters, nullifies and dis-empowers Eurocentric Brainwashing, Indoctrination and Acculturation (EBIA).
Step# 3: Create - Study the material condition of Afrikans to determine the areas of greatest need. Then, devise comprehensive plans for constructing the programs and institutions needed to address those needs.
For example, the maternal death rate of Afrikan women in America is the highest and has been so since our enslaved ancestors were brought to the Americas. Clearly, America’s criminal capitalist ruling class intends to maintain the current deadly arrangement, leaving us with only one viable alternative, build Birth Centers!
Step #4: With plans in hand, we build programs and institutions so desperately needed by Afrikan people in all sectors of this heartless society.
T.I.N.A.
In the end, it’s not rocket science! It’s a matter of restoring what’s been destroyed and building what is needed and doesn’t currently exist. This applies especially to the consciousness of the People, which will ensure success once freed of Eurocentric capitalist values and false propaganda!
The procedure detailed above is certainly not original. It is distilled from centuries of struggle, heroes, heroines, sacrifice, victories, setbacks, exhilaration and repeated heartbreak.
As difficult as the above may seem, there is no alternative at this point!
Fund the People!
Evolve the Revolution!
The Marathon Continues!
