Joy James, “Women and Political Imprisonment: From Rosa Parks to Ramona Afrika”
When people, especially white people, consider a world without the police, they envision a society as violent as our current one, merely without law enforcement — and they shudder. As a society, we have been so indoctrinated with the idea that we solve problems by policing and caging people that many cannot imagine anything other than prisons and the police as solutions to violence and harm.
People like me who want to abolish prisons and police, however, have a vision of a different society, built on cooperation instead of individualism, on mutual aid instead of self-preservation. What would the country look like if it had billions of extra dollars to spend on housing, food and education for all? This change in society wouldn’t happen immediately, but the protests show that many people are ready to embrace a different vision of safety and justice.
Mariame Kaba, ‘Yes, We Mean Literally Abolish the Police’
Via Haters Cafe “ ‘Alone, mutual aid is not enough to confront and destroy capital. We cannot simply “opt-out” of capitalism. We must become ungovernable.The Black Communes must arise out of the Black insurrection as we learn from our elder Lorenzo Kom’boa Ervin.’
A new essay sent to us by some Black comrades asking important questions on the relationship between Black people and insurrectionary anarchy and how that relationship can be extended. Available to read on our website, along with the files to print zine versions.”

This blog supports dark skin black women.
In our Womanist village, we practice self determination, and we will protect Black pregnant people’s birthright to body autonomy. We will also work towards the total abolition of entities that seek to control, criminalize, and terrorize Black people and Black communities. And that’s on what? Our Womanist Word.

What is Pan African Communist Nkrumahism-Toureism?:
Nkrumahism-Toureism takes its name from the consistent, revolutionary, scientific socialist and Pan-African principles, practices and policies followed, implemented and taught by Kwame Nkrumah, Ahmed Sekou Toure and Kwame Ture; three of the foremost exponents and practitioners of the scientific strategy to liberate and unify Africa, and all African People in every corner of the World, under scientific socialism. These principles, practices and policies are recorded in their speeches, writings, actions, contributions, achievements and lives. They must be read, studied, analyzed, and implemented.
In a larger and more complete sense, Nkrumahism-Toureism is a product of Africa’s history and culture, the result of the accumulated practical and theoretical contributions and achievements of centuries and generations of mass, revolutionary Pan-African and larger socialist struggles. Nkrumahism-Toureism is a way of life! It directs it adherents to place the need of the People over money and material wealth and establishes revolutionary ethics and morality for how we engage each other and fight the enemy in the African Revolution. It highlights and underscores the need for the absolute emancipation of African women as African women have suffered triple oppression, politically, economically, and by men imbued by and with the sexist ideology of capitalism.
Nkrumahism-Toureism is grounded in the science of Revolutionary mass struggle, as it is applied to Africa, to the almost 1 billion people of African descent who are scattered, suffering and struggling in every corner of the World. It philosophically and ideologically defines, incorporates, and synthesizes three distinct historical experiences that have impacted and define Africa and Her Children worldwide: Traditional Africa, Euro-Christian Africa and Islamic Africa. Nkrumahism-Toureism’s concrete living example is to be found in the creative struggle, contributions and achievements of African Revolutionaries to the African and International Revolutions.
Nkrumahism-Toureism provides the Masses of African People with a set of uncompromising principles, a scientific, revolutionary, and Pan-African method of viewing Africa and the World; and a scientific methodology and set of analytical tools, which enable African People to correctly interpret, understand, redeem and reconstruct Africa, and make their revolutionary contribution to the redemption and reconstruction of the Oppressed World.
Nkrumahism-Toureism provides a complete social, cultural, political, philosophical and economic theory that constitute a comprehensive network of Pan-Africanist scientific socialist principles, beliefs, values, ethics, morals and rules, which guide our behavior, determine the form which our institutions and organizations, laws and rules will take; and acts as a cohesive force to bind us together, inspire us, guide and channel our revolutionary mass political action towards the achievement of Pan-Africanism and the inevitable triumph of scientific socialism.
War, what is it good for? Absolutely nothing!

War against Black communities, what is it good for? Absolutely nothing!
Womanist Elder, Alice Walker, has constantly reminded us “why [white supremacist] war is never a good idea” and we should listen to our Womanist and Black Feminist Elders.
The united states government and all white western colonial capitalist governments have no legitimacy to declare war on Ferguson, Flint, Detroit, Port-au-Prince, Havana, Bamako, Lekki, Mogadishu, Johannesburg, Standing Rock, Gaza, or anywhere for that matter.
These white state and corporate officials are genocidal. They are slavocratic and sociopathic. These white politricksters and agents of white politricks are morally bankrupt and have no moral authority to hold anyone accountable.
Any civilian who legitimizes white supremacy, white supremacists, agents of white supremacy, and white supremacist violence against any civilians, does so at their own peril. When white terrorism disposes of us today, white terrorism will dispose of you tomorrow.
And that is why I say no power to the state or corporate and all power to the people!
