Lessons: Revolutions and Need to Prepare Revolutionaries Ahead of Time

 

Context

The collapse/regression of socialist back into capitalist economic, social, cultural, and political systems of USSR in the 1990's was significant because it was a reminder that all things end. Big things.  It provides a clue to this African enigma and a degree of intrepidity.  Africa's internal process of social, economic, political, cultural, and technological motion is of course transitory and reciprocal.  It once led the world in ancient African Kmt times (4236bc to 656bc).  The questions are where were we headed, what was lost, what necessary elements were preserved, and what must be resurrected and modernized in order to remove the mountain, reconstruct, and build anew the ship that this time will sail for all seasons?  What is relevant at this stage is direction, not speed.

 

Was there a direction of internal African acculturation, societal development, technological engineering, scientific education, and applied theory to social /societal development---which was kinetic/latent/emerging as with other races---and thus stunted, stopped, retarded, retrogressed into the mess we now see---a mess where we are reading/living by/literally killing each other daily for their useless unholy books instead of handing to them the useless mess they imposed on us along with the 2700 years of slavery, occupation, oppression and holocaust?  The external has dominated the internal, the invaders have dominated the invaded, the white/arab enslavers have dominated the enslaved Africans, and the most aggressive have won out over the more passive---for 500 years.  

Birth, Maturation, Decline, Death, Rebirth

Each society experienced a period of birth, growth, decline, death and rebirth.  It is important to know the history of all civilizations in order to establish what they will become, what is possible.  Africans were not born slaves because history reveals a rich and successful culture of ancient African Kmt rule for 5000 years in Africa. Human origin studies also reveal that Africans were the original species and that all other species were derived from them. These facts along with other accurate historical facts concerning Asian, Far Eastern, Chechimecan, European, and African societies reveal that no race of people could be considered inferior to the other because they all follow the same order of birth, development, decline, decay, regression, death and rebirth. The only factor that creates superiority is which race becomes militarily/economically in control of the wealth at the time by whatever means they used to achieve control. However, wealth is temporary throughout prior and existing societies.

All things being equal, can what has been done wrong be made right, or does one have to follow a path consumed with bleached bones and crumbled wreckages? The question is what direction should the modernization of internal African culture go and how to proceed as to get back on the Black path before the destructive Arab and white invasions, occupations, enslavement, colonization, neocolonization? The central question is where was African KMT headed before the invasions of Hyksos, Hittites, Persians, Assyrians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs and other murderous whites and semites?  The answer to this question lights the epochal path Africans must travel to solve the fundamental problems of Black existence.  The technologicalization of every element of Africa's economic, social, political, and cultural systems is a means toward that end. We make the decision. The negative element of their acculturation was superimposed, it is being shed slowly; when and how questions are to be answered as the process matures.  

In this process of study, we must not take refuge in a fiction in order to explain our people's historical development, or to invent fixed ideas, or defend sublimely naïve arguments that fortuitously hang on gratuitous assumptions which themselves are fashioned out of mystic transpositions of a reality too complicated to reproduce.  This is the mainstream aspect of the Afrocentric/African centered movement that University of Kmt has long jettisoned.   

Africanist Scientists as Revolutionary Workers

We are African.  We are scientists, we are engineers, and we are builders of civilizations.  We work only with evidence, not speculation, religions, mysticism and other worthless mess.  However,  Africanist scientist, like Asianist, Europeanist, Arabist, Jewish have a population (race) that they service overtly or covertly via their own cultural, social, political, economic, and technological systems.  Africanist should also.  Short of falling into severe intellectual convulsions, the same conflict between the revolutionary new technology and the obsolete global capitalist and socialist systems of distributing what is produced by robots which no longer correspond to their increasingly obsolete distribution systems, and the resulting socio-economic ramifications, the same race wars, the same ethnic wars, the terrible religious clashes, the terrible class wars, the terrible wars being prepared between different classes within nations and between nation and then groups of nations, and the same violent practical clashes between the masses by which alone these conflicts can be resolved must be reflect through the scientific and cultural lenses, image, and interest of Africanist, for Africans just as the others have so perfectly done for their people. 

In addition, we share dislike of sentimental, day-dreams, fantasies, miserable amorous illusions and utopian banalities of the mystical time-wasting Afrocentrists who referring to their own declamations, foam at the mouth, explode in vociferating white and arab religious rage, shouting pretentious platitudes often veiled in mystical language, and yet are thoroughly conscious of the emptiness of their arguments.  You know that this confusion is the utter incapacity of these preachers to understand the profane origin of the present African condition.  The majority of the African Centered movement is held captive to this slave christian, muslim reactionary wing.  For the moment you will grant that one who has not understood the present state of the African race can still less understand the objective necessary movement which is tending to overthrow it, but as yet is in embryo.  

At the end of the day, all we know is we once had everything and now we have nothing.  Simply put, we need to restore our material culture like all other races too: Moral codes, clothing, food, language, educational methods, architecture (KMT), law, recreation, health care, values, norms, philosophies (substantive/materialist), governing systems, family (KMT), etc...and all of this has to be modernized in the process of the technologicalization of our culture, societies, social systems, economic systems, political system.   Indigenous modernized material African culture/acculturation is a stabilizing cohesive force.

In short, we cannot harness the mass of our minds and souls if the vast majority of us are chasing allahs, jehovahs, white women, and all white and arab standards---wasting out lives building their civilizations for them literally for pennies on the dollar. This is about harnessing a people for focused internal action and cohesive internal acculturation necessary and thus evident in all other races, just or unjust.  This must be expressed in your critique as a counter-balance against throwing out the essential elements of positive indigenous culture that makes us us, Asians Asians, Europeans Europeans, Arabs Arabs plus the technologicalization/modernization.  Whites, Arabs, and Asians are not rushing planes of food and assistance to Haiti, Congo, Darfur, etc just because it is not profitable.  Those are Black people who white people deem worthless.  We also aren't rushing anything to them because most of our people do not deem them worth more than a can of beer or pair of Nike shoes... We have to change attitudes about the positive elements of our material culture as to build some behavioral basis for unity between Africans first.

What Has to Happen Based on What is Actually Happening

Since every philosophy, theory, or method has its own material foundation in history, no matter how metaphysical the disguise in which they often masquerade, a truly liberating criticism has always involved improving the material conditions, which are at the very foundation of the social groups and the thoughts that they think.  The new progressive humanist theories of the future will succeed not merely because they represents objective reality, are interculturally uplifting, morally sound, driven by justice, unrelenting in will, centered in historical intercultural values of mutual respect and commitment to human excellence, but also because they serve the needs of humanity and the social conditions which produce those needs.    

Liberating social philosophy, theory, and method becomes realized in a people only in so far as it is the realization of their real life needs.  In any society in which race, sex-sex/gender, class, and generation divisions give rise to conflicting needs, values, cultural forms and ideas, each race, sex-sex/gender, class, and generation sets itself up as a representative of the common interests of the entire society.  The ruling, race, sex/gender, class, culture and generation officially define what it means to be an American---some variation of a western, Greco-roman, English, christian white man.  Therefore, each race, sex-sex/gender, class, generation develops a worldview and ideology, which it holds to be universally true and around which it seeks to impose as the view of the entire society.  The group with the force---the military, political, psychological, and intellectual might---rules.  Those who have military power and state rule influence the gradual flow of history: they write the books, they make the videos, and they finance mass media versions of the reality as they see it. 

From this class, race, gender/sex, culture, and generation assessment it becomes clear that the claim of African-centeredness is not enough---it is the view of a specific social group---essentially the leading edge of whom are Black middle class intelligentsia trying to get tenure in white universities.   Each class has a view; each ethnic group has a view; each sex/gender has a view; each generation has a view; each culture has a view.   Possessing and being able to articulate historical or cultural information are not enough.  Debating intelligence is not enough.  The question is: What historical legacy and class, gender/sex, race, culture, and generation worldview does the idea represent?  If not scientific, it is not replicable, and thus merely an ideologically abstract means to a speculative end.   Therefore, scientific research, using the most advanced and bias free techniques known to human kind, must be completed and partisan political, cultural, racial, sex/gender, and generation positions must be taken.  Next, concrete programs of action must be organized, implemented, tested, and practiced.

Since the formation of humanity over 5.5 million years ago, and the subsequent development of settled class societies with sex/gender, class, cultural, ethnic, and generational divisions of labor, human societies have revolved around the production, distribution, exchange, consumption, and reproduction of the necessities of life and the power, which those possessions allowed.    Humans are continually improving the quality of the tools they use in earning their living.  The possession of the new productive technologies and the invention of the new methods give a natural advantage over those who still live by the old means.  The ethnicity, class, sex, or generation, which has control of the new forces of production, has power, economic/technological power, however, which is hampered by the cultural, traditional, political, and legal property relations which express the earlier forms of material production.

Without an accurate, organized, holistic summation of the history of the process, then the history of the ideas documenting the process (i.e., the logical summation or the theory) can be inaccurate and even groundless.  To reduce theory and method to a list of examples, criticisms, definitions, concepts, and analogies is to reject the principle of objectivity and resort to speculative, eclecticism, and subjectivity

This way of thinking is based on eternal unalterable concepts and formulas regardless of the new data of practice and science and the specific conditions, ignoring the processes own unique creative development.   This is not proper research because isolated facts selectively presented as variables and torn out of context are merely subjective constructs for mental juggling.  Reducing objective social processes to arbitrary patchworks of culturally, racially, class, and sex/gender biased variables and testing them in an abstracted imaginary context may be published in mainstream presses, but such publications maybe of no objectively scientific value, because each fact, each conceptualization, each variable, each analogy, each example grows out of some historically evolved concrete situation that must be summarized in its entirety if one is to bring to life---mentally reflect/reconstruct---the process in one's mind that is taking place in reality. 

Therefore, a holistic approach to social research problems requires that one extract the process itself and then deduce from it its essence after logically summarizing the unfolding process.  Minor facts, subjectively transformed into variables, arbitrarily selected and tested out of context from the conditions that produced them, are amputated fragments of a total reality---a reality which must be painstakingly taken apart then pieced back together as to ascertain the object's laws of development.  Inferences can be drawn, but conclusions from such studies are never final; not can they be comprehensive in scope and content.

Globalization of this process is an essential feature of the 2009+.  As such the methods of study must be interculturalized intellectually to reflect this international process of scientific inquiry.  Revolutions in the conception of matter have only been made in proportion to the corresponding positive empirical and theoretical materials furnished by modern scientific research.  Today, science has validated the most concrete thoughts that mirror an objective reality in one's brain are more or less abstract pictures of actual things and processes.

 

Prepare Revolutionaries Ahead of Time

Finally, the epoch in history which today ushered in the 21st century is much different from the epoch that ushered in capitalism and the 19th century.  As the Industrial Revolution necessitated the scientific developments of that epoch.    Each mental image of the world system is and remains in actual fact limited, objectively by the historical conditions and subjectively by the physical and mental constitution of its originator.  

There were three moments in African history in the Western Hemisphere which evolved the social underpinnings for Blacks to free themselves from white domination. The 1770's to 1790's, the Mid-1800's and early 1900's.  At each time during the Revolutionary War, Civil War, and World War I and II the African mass was not prepared by an independent Black leadership, and whites therefore led, won, and benefited. Industrialization put an end to slavery and serfdom throughout the world. Poorly prepared Africans and their leaders merely tailed the process of mechanical labor replacing manual labor for a Civil War and the end of slavery, then semi-automated replacing mechanized machine production in the 1940's for the Civil Rights Movement. The mass movement of Africans around the means of production---whether it was inclusive or exclusive, repulsing or attracting, expanding or contracting---ended up with black on bottom and white on top.

  • 1. Revolution of a society is not what most think it is. There have been only 5 societal revolutions in human history: primitive communalism, hydraulic communalism, slavery, feudalism, and capitalism/socialism. There are no other forms of society. Each society has a series of technological, economic, social, political, and cultural systems.
  • 2. First comes a technological revolution that makes the existing economic system untenable. What is produced cannot be distributed, what cannot be distributed cannot be consumed, what is not consumed piles up to rot or rust.
  • 3. Second, as new technology causes an economic crisis, all the social relations based on the old means of production are methodically and overtime destroyed resulting in the ongoing destruction and decomposition of society.
  • 4. Thirdly, as this destruction of society as we knew it becomes unbearable with a regression back into forms of slavery and Nazi dictatorship being imminent.
  • 5. Fourth, a political revolution takes place wherein the ruling, owning class is overthrown and society is reorganized in such a way as to be compatible with the new productive forces.
  • 6. Like clockwork, the class, race, sex, cultural, and generational expression of this poses, opposes, and composes in clashes, movements, and even all out war.
  • 7. CAMP and the end of wage labor in mining, manufacturing, construction, and agriculture is the guarantee that once private property is overthrown, there will be no going back to the industrial era and capitalism or socialism. The classes of each nation state and the governments that represent them will fight this out on battle fields around the world under many guises, pretext and pretensions. The fact will remain the same: a form of society is passing away, but this time on a global scale and with never before seen destructive intensity and rapidity.
  • 8. Wars are not fought for moral reasons at all. Wars are an extension of politics by violent means. Classes, races, and cultures arm themselves. Victory comes to those most prepared to win it.

Africanist scientist must prepare differently this time.
