“Imperialism is everywhere. Through the culture that it spreads, through its misinformation, it gets us to think like it does, it gets us to submit to it, and to go along with all its maneuvers. For goodness’ sake, we must stand in imperialism’s way.”

-Thomas Sankara

People fight and die in the struggle. It might seem depressing. But to me, it’s hopeful. Even if it feels like impossible odds, their contributions we are benefitting from today. It is because of our martyrs we are not in chains today. Don’t ever give up. It is because we have people who will always fight for us who will inspire more to do so. As hopeless as it might feel, there will always be people who will keep fighting and struggling. As one falls, another will always take their place. And these people in power are really scared of us. Because they can never truly defeat us. As one falls, yet another will take their place. The problem is that we don’t realize how much of cowards they really are. We have so much power they are so desperate to convince us we don’t have. They are so sloppy they can’t even hide their crimes. Keep educating. Keep spreading the truth, as it is more powerful than these shameless lies that keep beating our people down.

“We have come from far away, from very far away-in some cases thousands of miles away. What, may you ask, unites us with Nicaraguans, whose skin color is so different from ours? What, may you ask, unites us with Nicaraguans, who are geographically so far away from us? We are united by the struggle for the people’s freedom and well-being. We are united by the desire to seek justice for our people. We are united because we stand together against imperialism and the enemies of the people. All the delegations present here understand the importance of the Nicaraguan people’s struggle. Throughout the world we salute your struggle. Throughout the world we support your struggle. Your struggle is a just one. It is a just one because it is anti-imperialist. It is a just one because it is against the oppressors and the enemies of the people. Your struggle is just because it is against the bandits. Your struggle is just because it joins with the struggles of all the peoples of the world. The Palestinian people fight for their freedom and well-being. The Namibian people fight for their independence. Many other peoples around the world are fighting for their freedom. In Africa we are directly confronting colonialism, neocolonialism, and imperialism. The fascists, the Nazis who exist in South Africa, created apartheid against Blacks. The struggle against apartheid is not only the struggle of Blacks. Rather, it is the struggle for all peoples who want to live free and united. This struggle belongs to all the peoples of the world, and we Africans call on everyone to participate. The peoples of the world and the leaders who do not participate in the struggle against apartheid are ungrateful, traitorous leaders. They are traitorous leaders and ungrateful because they forget that yesterday Africans shed their blood fighting Nazism for the peoples of Europe and elsewhere. Today, blood must be shed against apartheid and for the well-being of other peoples. Comrades, I would like to as you to observe a minute of silence in remembrance of Samora Machel, that great fighter for African Freedom. Thank you.”

[disciplesofmalcolm]

“You don’t know whether people relate to the breakfast program, because you’ve never fed anybody. You don’t know anything about the free health clinic because you never asked anybody. You don’t know anything about the good that a gun does you, because you never tried one. And we say that if you was born and if you said you didn’t like pears and you never tasted pears, you’d have to be a liar. You don’t know whether you like pears, but you can’t claim that you don’t like pears. The only way that anybody can tell you the taste of a pear is if he himself has tasted it. That’s the only way. That’s the objective reality. That’s what the Black Panther Party deals with. We’re not metaphysicians, we’re not idealists, we’re dialectical materialists. And we deal with what reality is, whether we like it or not.”

— Fred Hampton speaking about how you must practice your theory, or else it’s irrelevant, 1969.

[disciplesofmalcolm]

We have been taught that only white people can use violence for their freedom. All others must turn the other cheek. Curious who benefits there.

[disciplesofmalcolm]

“I’m not for anybody who tells me to turn the other cheek when a cracker is busting up my jaw. I’m not for anybody who tells black people to be nonviolent while nobody is telling white people to be nonviolent. I know I’m in the church, I probably shouldn’t be talking like this—but Jesus himself was ready to turn the synagogue inside out and upside down when things weren’t going right. In fact, in the Book of Revelations, they’ve got Jesus sitting on a horse with a sword in his hand, getting ready to go into action. But they don’t tell you or me about that Jesus. They only tell you and me about that peaceful Jesus”

— Malcolm X, 1964

[disciplesofmalcolm]

“You will love the things that destroy you, and you will hate the things that advance your growth. Look at your behavior. Look at the behavior of your compatriots and watch if what I’m saying is not true.

‘I hate to read. I hate to study. I hate to learn. Oh, but I love to party. I love to smoke. I like to drink. I love to screw.’ And all the loves you will find will be loves that what? That don’t advance you one bit, and yet you can’t get over them. You’re addicted to them.

But things that lead to growth, to growth and wisdom, knowledge, you see, self-understanding and self-discovery, healthy relations, self-control; all those things are hateful.

But this is the only way a minority can rule over a majority of people, is by turning their minds backwards. So that they love the things that destroy them and hate the things that move them forward. In order for these people to rule over us, we must hate learning. This has to be built into us.

If we were into learning, if we were into research, and into thinking, and into real philosophical ideas and abstraction, we would defeat those people. They know it. So consequently, what they must do is rob you of all of these things so that they may stay in their place.“

-Dr. Amos N. Wilson

[ongelofeloos]

“There are many whites who are trying to solve the problem. But you never see them going under the label of liberals. That white person that you see calling himself a liberal is the most dangerous thing in the entire western hemisphere. He’s the most deceitful. He’s like a fox. And a fox is always more dangerous in the forest than the wolf. You can see the wolf coming, you know what he’s up to. But the fox will fool you. He comes at you with his mouth shaped in such a way that even though you see his teeth you think he’s smiling and take him for a friend.”

Malcolm X on white liberals, 1963

Here’s Malcolm X explaining in more detail about the hypocrisy of white liberals: [1] [2]

[disciplesofmalcolm]

Malcolm X Interview February 4, 1965

Question: Are you in agreement with Dr. King's nonviolent-

Malcolm X: I don't believe in any kind of nonviolence. I believe that it is right to be nonviolent with people who are nonviolent. But when you're dealing with an enemy that doesn't know what nonviolence is, as far as I'm concerned you're wasting your time.

[disciplesofmalcolm]

“We are not going to use this platform to rail against imperialism. An African saying very common in our country says: “When your house is burning, it’s no use beating the tom-toms.” On a Tricontinental level, this means that we are not going to eliminate imperialism by shouting insults against it. For us, the best or worst shout against imperialism, whatever its form, is to take up arms and fight. This is what we are doing, and this is what we will go on doing until all foreign domination of our African homelands has been totally eliminated.”

— Amilcar Cabral, “The Weapon of Theory” (1966)

[disciplesofmalcolm]

I have an interest in reviving this blog. I get surprised how much activity it still gets. Like this if you are on board with the ideas I have. Things continue to get worse, as they never get better with all the illusions. People are waking up with the Epstein situation, and I can feel the anger as war breaks out with Mossad’s demons infiltrating everywhere. America becomes more and more ripe for revolution. Struggle is an ongoing process that never ends. I have been recently researching how this country’s rotten capitalist interests are poisoning all of us slowly with things we take for granted everyday, in this new age of artificial intelligence replacing us as we are getting exposed to so many chemicals we aren’t aware of. Cancer has become so shockingly prevalent, and it’s becoming more and more clear why. I think we are going to have to mass protest more for the right to not be poisoned to death! There is also a new book on Malcolm X by Peter Bailey I’m trying to get.

And most importantly, if you are reblogging me, I would hope you are getting involved. Joining organizations and hitting the streets. Educating the people around you, and being honest with others and yourselves. As James Baldwin said, “If I love you, I have to make you conscious of the things you don’t see.” We must apply this to ourselves towards EVERYONE. I am fed up and tired of seeing so many good people assassinated. To learn more and more about how this world operates brings me more and more despair. And it’s so shocking how these people laugh and joke around in public about what they do. We didn’t think much about it then, but now we see how they openly brag about their atrocities for all of us to see!

And it also makes me more and more angrier to do something about it. Twitter fights and Reddit posts aren’t going to change the world. You got to go beyond the keyboard, man. Research for yourself, and learn the history. All the answers to your questions are in the history I’ve tried so desperately to share for so many years. That is why they say history is a weapon. The issues of today have all the answers in this history I’ve been sharing. History repeats itself because this has been one long battle of information war. When you try to act sane in an insane society, the people will look at you as if you are insane. And the people are recognizing. They owe some of us an apology. I am more optimistic now than I’ve ever been. The harder the fight, the better it will shape my determination. If things get worse, I have MORE reason to keep going.

What the people need is leadership and direction. Tough times are coming. The comfort won’t last long. May the chips fall where they may, and if you dare to do something about it, you deserve to win. As Fred Hampton said, “if you dare to struggle, you dare to win. If you dare not struggle, you don’t deserve to win.”

I’ve been here since Tumblr went political so many years ago. And I don’t really see any of the old blogs active here either anymore. So many have deleted and vanished. I am a relic, but I’m still here. And I can be here until the bitter end if I can get your support to just listen to me, and ultimately ACT.

[disciplesofmalcolm]

I haven’t posted on here much lately, but it makes me glad to see so many of my posts from around 15 years ago still get traction. Still, it’s not enough to easily consume these ideas. It is more what you do with them. Like I’ve always said, theory with no practice means nothing. I don’t care how knowledgeable you are, if you aren’t going to get involved and struggle for the people, you will die feeling good, and nothing you knew mattered in the end. You might as well knew nothing.

Nana Retrospective Project Complete

New video analyzing the Nana anime. I tried to make it as entertaining and engaging as possible while exploring the themes. I haven’t posted much, but I think this touches on important and personal matters you’ll find value in.

Rest in power, comrade Assata Shakur!

Revolutionary Black liberation fighter Assata Shakur has passed away, as confirmed this morning by the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Assata lived in exile from the U.S. under Cuba's protection for many years. She spent decades on the FBI's most wanted list.

Nota de Prensa del Ministerio Relaciones Exteriores  El 25 de septiembre de 2025 falleció en La Habana, Cuba, la ciudadana estadounidense Jo

Now more than ever, we all must heed Assata's words:

“It is our duty to fight for our freedom.

It is our duty to win.

We must love each other and support each other.

We have nothing to lose but our chains.”

[disciplesofmalcolm]

I work the equivalent of 2 full time jobs now. It's amusing this ties into anime. It's good to see that my posts from over 15 years ago still get traction. Still, it's not about what you know, but what you will do with it. Discussion is about what you can prove. Anyone can say anything.

You can't be honest if you hold back the truth to not upset people you know. Got to be a person of principle. It was James Baldwin that said, "If I love you, I have to make you conscious of the things you don't see."

There's a new book on Malcolm X out from a certain contact that interests me. I'm going to try to get a hold of it for some new posts. There appears to be only one person left that I follow that still posts getting into the knit and gritty of it.

Now in more recent times, with Israel, where the chickens are coming home to roost, and with ICE in LA near me, where America has become the #1 abolitionist of families, that thinks it can legitimize itself from unjust laws, from a land they took from the genocide of the Native Americans, and built through the enslavement of the Africans. They could never legitimize and fool everyone that the establishment of this rotten country was ever legitimate.

History doesn't just repeat itself, discourse does as well. I see people asking the same questions that were already answered long ago.

It feels as though Tumblr has been forgotten. It's now mores so about people making deliberate sensational posts on X, and all these fake armchair revolutionaries streaming on Twitch and whatnot, living lavishly pretending that they care.

I should be asleep. Had an urge to post once again.

“The struggle is an eternal struggle. The capitalist system will confuse you. [Someone said], “our people are just a now people. They want everything now. If you tell them something for later ‘I ain’t got no time for later. I want it now!’” Capitalism makes you think that everything must come now. But the struggle that you’re involved in is a struggle in which you will not reap that which you have sown. You have already reaped that which has been sown by past generations. You must sow for future generations to reap. I’m so tired of brothers and sisters coming in saying, “when am I going to enjoy the good life?” It ain’t for you, it’s for the next generation. Do your work now for the next generation. When you work for your people, it’s not what you receive, it’s what you give. And the best thing about working for the people is that what you really get for the people sometimes nobody else knows except you. This is real struggle for the people. Thus, we must wipe out from our minds that the struggle in which we’re involved in is going to give us any victories. The struggle in which we’re involved in is an eternal struggle. We are not working for ourselves, we are working for generations to come. Therefore, what I’ve done you ain’t even begin to see. Generations later will come to thank us for the work we’ve done now.”

— Kwame Ture (Formerly known as Stokely Carmichael)

Did You Ever Listen? Do You Really Care?

Unbelievable. The 60s told us all the answers we needed. And yet, history repeats itself. We are more confused about things so easily spelled out back then, if only we took the initiative to do our own research. Information is on our fingertips. We have no excuse. And yet, we decide to learn from nonsensical conspiracy influencers.

It's not what you know. It's what you can prove.

Maybe, this is the doomed fate humanity has been dealt. I don't think humanity can reach a peaceful state. War is so integral to mankind. This circulation of violence I don't think will ever end. What may matter more is that we can at least achieve peace for at least a few generations. Conflict really defines the human.

They used to say television was the best and worst invention of mankind. And now, it's AI. We are living in an age of increasing darkness as social media claims another. Is there even a front line? They've killed so many of us, imprisoned them, and forced them to go under the radar. Blackmail is such a powerful and effective weapon.

We are at the point where we have allowed AI to tell us how to think. I get it. AI has it's benefits. I am more focused on the misuse of it. Such as with YouTube, people aren't even looking at their subscribed channels anymore. The AI algorithm has learned about them so much, it understands, scanning YouTube, what they want. Isn't this a little frightening? AI knows some more than people know them.

This is such a rotten country. Racism is almost acceptable at this point. Lynching never stopped. You know how many times I have heard of black people found hung on trees now, and killed in strange circumstances, and oh so conveniently, brushed away by police with immediate excuses the families of these victims call out?

They're new tactics are amusing. They now deport you for being a freedom fighter. I get scared when I think of the children. So many fattened by their hormone infused processed trash food. Already glued to their phones. I am scared for where we will be in 20 years. People like us are going extinct. But it not too late. What I will say is: Get OUT of your comfort zone.
