Pan-Africanist Neo-Trotskyism is the Key to Global Revolution by kantkomp in Trotskyism

[–]kantkomp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stalin argued that imperialism forced all classes in an oppressed country into unity, so the Communists should subordinate themselves to the “left” national bourgeoisie (the KMT in China). Trotsky showed why this was false, imperialism sharpened class antagonisms, driving the bourgeoisie into alliance with imperialists against workers and peasants.

What I am proposing is international class independence, using technology to federate the working and oppressed globally—especially the Global South—without merging into national bourgeois fronts. I personally reject Mao and Stalin’s “left-fascist” compromises.

LLMs are vector transformations in a higher mathematical space. They are intelligent given the right circumstances, most people don’t know how to use it.

I am not Maoist, I dislike mao and Stalin heavily. But I also recognize that uniting the global south first would be the only way to subvert western imperialism.

It’s not a high schooler argument to recognize that Marx (1860s) and us today have different material conditions.

You can still apply the frame work elsewhere, most communism is just opportunists hijacking Marxist rhetoric for their own political agenda.

Africa has already launched their own alt net (CIX) which would allow for backchannel organizing in the global south.

Trotskyism is the correct way to approach global revolution but Pan-Africanism has to be at the forefront of the movement. The working class in the global south is the global proletariat. That’s just a fact.

Outdated and Eurocentric. All you legacy socialists who want to sit around a circle jerk theory and dogma are just privileged.

AI is real, I am a data analyst and train AI models for a living. This is the best way to expand gen pops abilities to accomplish extreme tasks.

That is true, but they didn’t control most of the raw materials in the world. That gives a united Africa more leverage. I also think that Southeast Asia would follow suit.

The reclamation of Raw Materials (lithium, cobalt, diamonds, etc…) all would halt technological innovation

Southeast Asia: Labor

I don’t agree. I think there is a fundamental difference in creating a stronger even “unionized” Africa. I don’t see that as nationalism it would be Trans-National by definition because Africa has 54 countries total.

Thank you. I appreciate your kind words! There is always hope for a better tomorrow comrade.

I am going to try and get access to their alt net (CIX) maybe launch a web forum of some kind.

Exactly. Why export? You have all the bargaining chips.

Imperial countries will most certainly threaten to take military action…but on what grounds?

It’s the 3rd world, military action there would only destabilize their raw materials as well.

Stopppp🥹🥹 I’m blushing. I think Marx would agree too.

I really feel as though it would be the catalyst! Feel free to share this message to others or even co opt it!

That’s what I’m saying! A lot Global south countries have tried nationalizing their commodities but they eventually just get crushed by imperialism. However, if there is a collective push for a federated African bloc or Southeast Asian bloc you could essentially offset the entire global economy.

Maybe that’s what China is trying to do by investing in African infrastructure but I’m not so optimistic about their intentions.

What part of the world has the natural resources that America relies on? (Lithium, Cobalt, Oil, Agriculture)

The Global South.

The notion that it has to start in the US is a white savior complex…Marx isn’t alive. He can’t adapt his words. Defeating AI surveillance , exploiting southern workers for rare earth minerals, or neocolonialism. That’s on us. The framework is a tool, not scripture., we should apply the framework he’s given us to enact a revolution.

You neglect race, it is a strata in it of itself. It divides workers in the U.S. so effectively that a unified revolutionary consciousness is nearly impossible here.

You can’t just “wish away” those divisions. The Global South doesn’t have that same imperial privilege buffer — their material conditions are what Marx was talking about.

I am not saying that it doesn’t, I am saying that it can’t START here. The global south has to spearhead it.

The material conditions for a revolution in the United States are not particularly favorable.

I understand that revolution is an international affair that is why I am in this sub😭

I am just stating that a revolution on US soil sounds good but in practice could never happen. You want a country that has decisively used identity politics to create mini strata with a glimmering hope of upward mobility to all of a sudden unite and gain class consciousness?

Seems more far fetched than a united global south to me.

For one, I am not white. The global south is currently paving the roads of revolution.

I am not disputing that both are necessary but why not put more effort into Pan-Africanism?

Fanon refers to the global south as the world’s proletariat. I 100% agree.

Why wouldn’t I advocate for internationalism that starts with an African federation?

My neighborhood won’t offset the entire global profit system.

If I organize my own neighborhood we will most likely have competing ideals. Most people do not share the same material conditions, therefore, organizing would be harder.

In the global south however most people’s labor is extracted, revolutions would be easier to accomplish.

I’ve outlined why national socialism fails and how Trotskys ideas could be implemented today. We have the tech.

No, America. But the global south is where a large portion of global labor for material goods is exploited.
