To Mr Omali Yeshitela,
I wouldn’t presume to judge from my vantage the decisions you made generations before I was born. Rather, I hope you can receive the letter in the spirit with which it’s meant: in the time since you first took up your struggle, the world has changed. And so with it must the tactics and alliances of a successful revolutionary.
Honor What Came Before
A guiding principle of the Amazon engineer program is to “honor what came before”:
Though times and growth will mean that older decisions and systems no longer serve our needs, we should understand the context and principles which guided past decisions and appreciate the effort and compromises those before us put into arriving at where we are today. Indeed, the efforts of assorted civil rights leaders across the past 60 years of American history are too numerous to name.
Instead, we select three guiding statements to take with us as our principles in constructing a new revolutionary framework:
- “Black People, Do For Yourself” - Malcolm X [video]
- “the main difference between us and the caveman is simply human capital” - Thomas Sowell [video]
- “White Liberals Are The Most Dangerous Thing In The Entire Western Hemisphere” - Malcolm X [video]
A Movement In A Skid
The alliances on which the Uruhu Movement are based reflect the political structure of a bygone era. In those times, Marxists within the US were the outparty and therefore the ally of revolutionaries looking to better the situation of black Americans. However, fifty years later, that is no longer the case.
And so, the revolution will consume it’s children.
The Uruhu Movement in being a radical ethnic Marxist organization is a prime sacrifice by an ascendant Marxist regime looking to shed its radical image and establish its legitimacy. As so many revoltuionaries before, the Uruhu Movement will be destroyed for their seditious nature by their partners – who are all too aware of the Uruhu Movement’s improprieties. Further, the usage of ethnic militias in widespread violence across the US has soured the US public to such radical ethnic organizations.
This leaves the Uruhu Movement without partners or traction and moving against the political tides of the US.
In a skid.
Steer Into The Skid
The solution to this problem in alignment with the above principles is easy: #MakeAfricansGreatAgain
By aligning as a submovement within a broad populist movement, the Uruhu Movement can reharmoize with the broader libration movement (see: populist movements in Africa, S Asia, and SE Asia). This is akin to the populist realignment which brought the politically diverse #MAHA (RFK Jr) and #MAGA (DJT) movements together in the interest of working class people against an increasingly fascistic regime. (The same regime prosecuting the Uruhu Movement, now.)
In past times, the anti-colonialist movement took the form of Marxist revolution; today, it takes the form of nationalist populist struggle unified under a shared respect for other nations – the Multi-Polar World Order. This MPWO is in direct conflict (by maintaining national populist movements) with the globalist efforts (eg, by the World Economic Forum) to control and oppress working class peoples of all kinds, through techno-fascism.
I understand that this would be a realignment in many of the ideas of the Uruhu Movement, but I would argue that these are secondary ideals:
Above all is the necessity to harmonize with the global liberation movements, fighting for working class interests globally.
I describe this as “steering into the skid”, due to the connotation of switching “from left to right”. However, I would emphasize that the realignment is from authoritarian (modern Marxist movement, under WEF) to populist (modern libration movement).
Examples
Here are a few examples of how this transition could be applied to reposition the Uruhu Movement within public perception, with an emphasis on the current legal troubles.
Mock The Concept
In aligning with the modern populist movement, the Uruhu Movement can reframe its language:
- “We’re being targeted for the same crime many Washington DC insiders commit every day because we focus on black communities building themselves up, free of the master’s plantation and dole.”
- “Being embarrassed about your failure to do anything for the black community is not a reason to jail those trying to build up black people.”
- “A woman who laughed about how many black men she jailed for smoking weed is trying to jail a black leader for building up his community together with the only people who would help.”
- “Obviously Russia is behind our diabolical plot to… let me check my notes… help Africans everywhere reach their full potential. And it’s equally obvious why political elites in the US hate us for that.”
Many of these messages are particularly effective when joined with the following concept.
Reframe Black Liberation at SPIEF
In aligning with the multipolar world order framework, the Uruhu Movement can plead its case in a more compelling way – using events such as SPIEF:
- “We’re being targeted because we have the audacity to speak on a global stage about how Africans and the diaspora can, in the words of Malcolm X, ‘Do For Themself’”
- “The US government is trying to accuse us of being foreign agents merely because we discuss with a global audience how black communities can develop and better themselves, free of outside control.”
- focus on the work of economists such as Thomas Sowell to develop policy that will improve the lot of black communities
Forge New Alliances
Across the world a radical political realignment is happening. Nationalist populist movements are rapidly rising, displacing increasingly fascisting states. This is due to a “rotation”, where a previously horizontal divide (left-right) has become a virtical divide (populist-authoritarian). This is true on literally every continent.
The alliance between the #MAHA (RFK Jr) and #MAGA (DJT) movements within the US are a strong indicator that politics-as-usual has been disrupted, therefore:
- align with the broader #MAGA movement, as this most harmonizes with the global liberation movement
- connect with populist movements across the world, eg Africa, Europe, India, central and south America
- develop new policy recommendations based on this framework.
I won’t pretend that I believe the Uruhu Movement is innocent; I just don’t care when there’s easily a thousand worse FARA violations in DC right now.
