**************************

Muhammad Rasheed - How do we turn African-Americans away from communism? It would definitely be hard, requiring at least double the amount of indoctrination designed to deprogram them from it than was used to program them with it in the first place. It would be a lot harder to remove it nowadays though, and it will get worse the longer it takes to implement the plan.

Black American’s relationship with communism really began when W.E.B. DuBois — embittered because he discovered the force of his will alone wasn’t enough to stop Whites from lynching Black people — decided to subscribe to communism as a slight against White America. Naturally that tantrum didn’t work either as one would expect, but the real problem was that DuBois had become one of Black History’s quasi-deified “elders,” and many up and coming Black intellectuals uncritically subscribed to communism just because he did it. By this time, the Democratic Communist Party had fully infiltrated the civil rights movement, and linked themselves to all the “right side of history” causes, cinching the indoctrination in even further. Now the youth of the movement... the full list of the Who’s Who of the next Black leaders… associated “communism” with their own causes, and Marx’s manifesto was in every must-read “conscious” reading material. Today, the pro-communist activists can’t even tell you WHY it’s a good idea, and vilify capitalism just because Marx and the indoctrinated “elders” did so before them.

Communism lacks the force of any previous ideology used by Blacks to progress towards full citizenship in the USA. Then what value does it hold? As African-Americans, what have you gained since the communist party infiltrated the civil rights movement and gave you that ideology?

That's why your enemy gave you communism, yes? To de-power you. To trick you into rejecting God, and giving up the spiritual strength you need to defeat seemingly insurmountable odds... to strip you of the righteous zeal needed to destroy the vulgar Philistine. He gave it to you in order to trick you into abandoning your family. To trick you into severing your economic base, and brainwash you into thinking it is morally right to give up the wealth you need to leverage the political machine in your favor.

Communist agents convinced you into throwing away all the tools you used to get through the 'jim crow' era, and now here I find you more vulnerable than ever.

Repent and get right with the One God who made you, repair your broken homes, regain your wealth, and come together to defeat this monster once and for all that you may be finally FREE.

  2. I see that you don't have an actual argument, whoever you are, but instead you enjoy spewing a century of leftist talking point indoctrination. That's a mighty large word salad just to come infest my blog comments with your harassing pettiness. What do you want exactly?

    2. I'm not married to the Democrat party. I just think that since Blacks have invested all that history and tradition into it, they should start actually making it work for them.

      I like this weird attempt to center yourself into the blog's point, especially since I have no idea who you're supposed to be.

    3. I don't care about the 'kindness' aspect. As long as you have an argument and are reasonably entertaining with your unkindness, you may stay.

      So far you just repeated a bunch of commie nonsense that even casual research reveals is just indoctrinated nonsense.

      Please improve.

    6. Almost all left-leaning Blacks hold some indoctrinated innate sympathy for communism as explained in the blog post above. Why would I single you out because of it? That doesn't make sense.

      Also notice that nothing in the blog post is personal at all, nor does it mention anyone's family. You've now revealed yourself as a random troll.

      You don't "give a shit about your politics" yet here you our out of nowhere, in disguise, harassing me like a troll over politics. Curious. lol

    1. "Literally tweeted" doesn't mean it was personal since I don't know you from Adam/Eve. It should be obvious that it's my generic profile of the Black commie figure. Since that was my first time expressing it in that way, I thought I should collect the posts and compile them into this essay with accompanying cartoon, since that's what I do after-all. :D

      Are you sure you're not becky? beckys like to center themselves in everything, so that may be a clue.

    3. It's actually about how to free my people from that communist bullshit. It's not about you.

      Calm down.

    4. You raged at me for not wanting anything to do with Democrats and for being a Communist, then the next day you twitter your shitty comic at me. I'm a Black woman you douchebag which is why you made the character a Black woman. It was about me but I'm done going back and forth with your goofy looking ass.

      Delete
    5. I'm positive your version of events isn't entirely accurate. I forgive you though.

      I can't do anything about my goofy-lookingness, so you'll just have to forgive that. I'm sure you are actually beautiful, since Black Women have that on lock in my very biased opinion.

      Are you really leaving this time, or are you just being all sour grapes since you can't defend that toxic commie bullshit you love so much?

  4. It is pointless to "defend" it to someone who loves capitalism and believes it isn't oppressive and has no ties to racism like you do. I do work in my community and people get interested in socialism or communism that way. I don't force anyone into anything unlike you raging at me for not being a useless Democrat and not being the Black person you think I should be. And yes I'm leaving now. Bye.

    1. Well, I'm open to hearing and meditating on a well-thought out argument that proves your points with facts, logic & reason. I'm not closed to a mind change on the topic, I just don't have faith that you do have such an argument. Can you prove me wrong?

      The only topic I am completely inflexible on is "There is no god but the One God." Everything else is open to intelligent debate. What do you have?

      Throw down your rod.

    2. It's probably pointless but okay.

      First of all you'd have to understand what Communism is. Communism is a moneyless, stateless, and classless society. Communism would free working people from the chains of wage labor, forced labor, etc. When you think of Communism you probably think of lots of Cold War propaganda which I imagine why you think it's "toxic." But Communism as it's truly defined hasn't really existed in modern times, but Socialist states have existed and still do. Cuba for example is a Socialist state. The point of Socialism and Socialist states is to transition into Communism, where there is no need for a state, for money, for classes. Communism wouldn't happen overnight, it would need Socialism as a transitional path to it. Communism is simply going back to how humans lived before class systems were developed i.e, Slavery (The masters and the slaves) Feudalism (the lords and the serfs), and Capitalism (The bourgeoisie and the proletariat or the Capitalists and the workers). It's nothing toxic about that because people managed to live thousands of years before capitalism in communal societies and we can live thousands of years after it. Capitalism is rapidly making the planet inhabitable so as the saying goes, it's socialism or barbarism. If you read about "primitive" societies before class societies existed, you'd see that they lived communally. Everyone helps each other, everyone takes care of each other, everyone does their share of the work, everyone gets to share in the fruits of their labor, no "boss" or "master" taking some or all of the fruits of their labor. This is a system that would benifit everyone and one we should go back to. Of course it wouldn't be exactly like "primitive" times, as we're industrialized now but humans are a social species, we aren't meant to be a dog-eat-dog, every man for himself, "I got mine I don't if you get yours" species. Capitalism makes people like this, it turns us into individualists not really caring about our brother and sister. We are taught to have this individualist thinking because it fits within the capitalist system. In capitalism everyone is always competeing with each other. Businesses compete, CEOs compete, bosses will have workers compete for "competitive pay." Work shouldn't be competitive, work should benefit society as a whole and without exploiting people to do it. This is unnatural for humans because like I said we are a social species. We are meant to work together not against each other or we would have never made it this far as a species.

    3. The meaning of Capitalism also has to be understood. Captialism isn't "free trade" or "free markets." Capitalism is about who owns and controls the means of production, i.e the factories, the land, the machines. The Bourgeoisie (the Capitalists) owns the means. The proletariat (the working class) are the ones who must work for the bourgeoisie into order to simply survive via wage labor. The working class are forced to work or we won't eat. We're forced to work or we can't recieve the basic necessities everyone should have a human right to. Many people work and STILL can't obtain these things. There is no reason that people should die all because they can afford healthcare. When capitalists privatize everything to profit off of it, it makes life miserable for the working class. The bosses also don't give the workers the full value of our labor. They are wealthy because of us, not because they worked hard because WE worked hard. This is what they call wage labor, bosses steal the full value of our labor while just giving us a wage to barely get by on and many workers want their wages raised because as the rich get richer off of our labor, the workers pay remain the same. We have to protest to get these wages raised or the capitalists would never do it. All the "commies" you proabably believe are toxic and evil are responsible for many of the workers rights we have today, weekends off, better wages, 8 hour work days, 40 hours at week, etc. That was the doing of Communists because captitalists don't care about us, they will work us to death if they could, they care about our labor power and how much money that can bring in for them. As long as they keep wages down, that's more money for them so course we have to be the ones to make a fuss about it. As time goes on, it becomes even harder to get by, this is why you may notice more young people interested in socialism. Like I said, it doesn't take much to get people interested in socialism because more and more people are struggling these days. I don't have to "brainwash" anyone. No one even has to know who Marx is to understand they are being jerked by the system, but revolutionary theory will definitely help the workers to fully understand and build a class consciousness and give us the power where one day WORKERS own the means of production, as it should be.

    4. Capitalism is also inherently oppressive, even its origins are. Of course you know our ancestors were forced to be slaves thus forced to build this system right off our backs for absolutely nothing. Because of this, it is inherently oppressive. It is inherently white supremacist. It doesn't matter how many reforms you slap on it, it will always be opressive to Black people most of all. Black people aren't kept in ghettos because we are "lazy" or "dumb" (not that you believe this but many people do) We are kept in poverty, we are murdered by police, we terrorized because that is capitalism's design. Capitalism was built from our oppression and it continues from our oppression. Capitalists profit off of our mass incarceration just as they profited off of our free labor as slaves, and no capitalist political party like the Democracts will ever allow an end to it. Slavery didn't end without a fight, I don't expect mass incarceration to either. It's no coincidence that we are at the bottom of the totem pole, we are the descendants of slaves, we are supposed to be at the bottom along with the Natives of this country. They probably would have killed us all at once if they could, but instead they want to kill us off by poverty and by a white supremacist policing system. We were meant to be the victims of capitalism not the beneficiaries of it. We were only sent to this continent to be slaves and nothing else, this is why Black people as whole could never be "free" under capitalism. It was capitalism that put us in chains in the first place, how will it free us? We own no means of production in this country and even if whites become a "miniority" as long as they own the means of production, there will always be racism, and white supremacist terrorism. Look at South Africa for example, white people own the means there and despite it being majority Black, Black people are oppressed by the whites because of this. Building Socialist communals in our communinities (building community gardens, providing food, clothes, shelther) is really the only thing that can probably help us. We wouldn't have to rely on the governemnt for anything, we've have ourselves to turn to but of course this WILL piss them off as it has in the past when The Black Panthers (who were Black Communists by the way) were doing it because again they need our oppression to keep the wheels of capitalism turning. Opression is NEEDED for capitalism, there's two ways about it. We can only be free by destorying it. Workers everywhere will only be free by destorying it.

      Check out these books these were written by Black authors:

      Capitalism and Slavery by Eric Williams

      I'm sure you can find them free online just add pdf at the end.

    5. Quite a few typos and errors but eh I typed it up fast. but I ALSO wanted to add that Karl Marx did not "invent" Communism and it certainly wasn't "invented" to trick or brainwash anyone. As said before, people in "privimite" times basically lived communistic lifestyles before classed societies were developed. Marx was simply the first to critique capitalism. If it wasn't him it would have been someone else. As he said, "the history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles." He simply observed the history of classed societies and saw that the oppressed were the ones who struggled against the oppressors and if the oppressed wanted to be free, they'd have to overthrow their oppressors. Whether Slave and Master, Lord and Serf, now Capitalist and Worker. The question is can we build class consciousness for all workers in time before capitalists suck us all and the Earth dry? Only time will tell that.
