fuckyeahmarxismleninism:

The African Blood Brotherhood was a short-lived but highly influential Black Liberation organization in the US, formed during the infamous “red summer” of 1919. That year saw murderous pogroms against African-Americans from Chicago to St. Louis, yet it also was a year of rising militant resistance to racist oppression. The African Blood Brotherhood was formed in part to organize physical resistance to pogroms, but also to organize for socialist revolution against white supremacy. Many members of the African Blood Brotherhood eventually joined the nascent Communist Party and helped to shape their policy on Black Liberation through the 1920’s and 30’s. Notable African Blood Brotherhood comrades included queer communist poet Claude McKay, whose 1919 poem “If We Must Die” epitomized the African Blood Brotherhood’s spirit of militant struggle.

donniemossberg:

Let us not act surprised. Before there was an al Qaeda or a Hezbollah and other similar organizations, our “radical” organizations were deemed terrorist and subversive. I mean black panthers, black liberation army, rainbow coalition, Nation of Islam. We could go on and on. Just look up all of the people and Organizations targeted by the FBI. We’ve been terrorized by the government. But what was a terrorist to the US government before is not the same now. This is a way to now include other suspected criminals for targeted assassinations as they do now with drones. They said Assata is still dangerous. Yeah ok. Cats look at lupe as if he was crazy for calling America terrorists. I am her comrade! Damn I need a woman like her yo

The Sufferings of Madame Toussaint

The widow of the unfortunate Toussaint has just landed upon our continent. Her account of her own and her husband’s sufferings, from Bonaparte’s tyranny, would be incredible, were they not already equaled by the Corsican’s former atrocities, and those of his accomplices. Her mutilated limbs and numerous wounds, are, besides, visible proofs of the racks and other instruments of torture from which she has suffered in the dungeons of free,enlightened, and civilized France, and under which, little doubt remains that General Toussaint expired…

The National City Bank of New York & Haiti

Citigroup’s history in Haiti is remembered as both among the most spectacular episodes of U.S. dollar diplomacy in the Caribbean and as an egregious example of officials in Washington working at the behest of Wall Street. It’s also a story marked by military intervention, violations of national sovereignty and the deaths of thousands.

“The white man is very clever. He came quietly and peaceably with his religion. We were amused at his foolishness and allowed him to stay. Now he has won our brothers, and our clan can no longer act like one. He has put a knife on the things that held us together and we have fallen apart.”

Jamaica and the Saint-Domingue Slave Revolt, 1791-1793

When the slaves and free coloureds of Saint Domingue rebelled in the autumn of 17791, Jamaican society faced the greatest challenge of its history. The dramatic spectacle of violent selfliberation was acted out almost before the eyes of its blacks and mulattoes, while the ruling white elite experienced a dilemma that seemed to oppose its prosperity to its survival.
