For Liberation Against Racism
The UK’s Two-Tier Racism: Black and Muslim Children, Palestine and the Bell Review
A state that will not even record the racism black and Muslim children face, while inflating antisemitism to police Palestinian solidarity, is not fighting racism in schools. It is practising it. And it must be challenged!
Marxism, Black Liberation and the Global Class Struggle Part 4. Algeria: Anti-Colonial Struggle
Algeria provides a stark example of settler colonialism and violent resistance. Whereas the United States was born of a struggle between the settlers themselves for self determination and the right to development based on the continued extermination of the indigenes and the exploitation of slavery, Algeria was born of the struggle of the indigenes against the settlers.
Marxism, Black Liberation and the Global Class Struggle – Part 3: United States: From Racial Capitalism to Global Imperialism
It is not possible to comprehend contemporary US politics without understanding the peculiarities which differentiate the USA from European imperialism. The most important of these is its settler colonial origins.
Marxism, Black Liberation and the Global Class Struggle – Part 2: Settler colonialism
Colonial rule often destroyed pre-existing social and economic systems, replacing them with production oriented toward the European market.
The exploitation of enslaved Africans in the Americas and of colonised populations across Asia and Africa underpinned the industrial growth of Europe.
Marxism, Black Liberation and the Global Class Struggle
• The history of global capitalism is inseparable from the histories of slavery, colonialism, and settler colonialism.
• The Black liberation struggle — that is the struggle against the oppression of the people of non-European origin by the people of European origin — plus the struggle for liberation and Self-Determination, and the class struggle are clearly linked.
