/leftypol/ - Leftist Politically Incorrect

From an outsider prospective honestly I see more division in america, from an ethnical point of view.
Whites are more racist and Blacks too.
It would be impossible like Huey and King to say their kind of stuff. Honestly you got some pozzed glowies in your communities and some of them are even on this board doing everything to incite racial hatred.

Modern civil rights activism seems more decentralized than in the past, lacking much in the way of a central charismatic figure. To be honest, I don't really mind, as placing too much importance in a single individual makes it so that you can destroy a whole movement just by offing them, as happened when Malcolm X, MLK, and Fred Hampton were assassinated.

probably not

modern politics is too wrapped up in IDpol and playing the eternal victim

But being decentralized makes lt easier for petty bourgeois elements to prevail

it was a mistake the BPP didn't adopt Juche.

Likely not. Theres not much to fight for these days since even the least progressive societies like china iran Russia and syria are beginning to neoliberalize post civil rights movement

Compared to the 1960s? Not at all. It was far more racially polarized back then. There were race riots at my dad's high school. Today, high school kids walk out for BLM marches. It's just not the same situation at all.

I think it's a mistake to look for a "leader." I don't think those guys saw themselves as "leaders" per se. They became that for people. We want the people to lead, the masses to lead, to take charge.

The search for "leaders" is how fake-left types get appointed (not elected) as "spokesmen." Like there's a BLM movement, but then liberal foundations with corporate funding will create an organization that claims to "speak for" the movement. And that's how social movements get co-opted and steered into the approved channels.

America is a shithole, ethnic infighting is only 1 of the many and I repeat MANY problems with that country, having another leader like fred Hampton to lower division would only fix 1 problem being that americans are divided on every topic outside of race including sexuality, gender, age, migration to citizen status, state of origin and wealth.

Also you'll see these spokesmen get appointed and described as "founders." Like "I founded the Black Lives Matter movement." No you didn't. You showed up later with a grant from the Ford Foundation. They're presented almost like startup "founders." That's similar to neoliberal ideology.

This is long but it's a good lecture in how this works.

It's really not, Ben Norton is a terrible lecturer and his thoughts are disorganized.

>but what really made these guys important to me was their anti capitalist stance
What made them immortal was their assasinations. If they had grown old and embarassing, it would've been a whole other story.

This, there's a reason no one cares about Bobby Seale anymore.

>>405268
Eh, maybe. I guess both approaches have their tradeoffs.

>>405284
How exactly would that work with an organization that does not hold state power?

This. Look at Angela Davis
