u know how people say "not all cops are bad" but the real problem is the system is set up for bad cops to have long careers and get away with murder, so it doesn't really matter if some cops are good when the system is so f***ed.
I feel like similar things can be said about the ultra-wealthy its like....
yeah some more diverse representation would be a positive vs. all-white billionaires or something but if they're not paying their taxes and paying their workers adequately it's still contributing to this negative harmful system
That amount of money shouldn’t be available to anyone

I know what dude is saying like ownership is important especially in a country where its structured to deprive black people of ownership,
that being said ownership by the people is literally a big part of socialist philosophy.
It's not like if we establish some beneficial socialist policies that we're going to be the new USSR lmao just like the f***in laissez faire capitalism doesn't "work itself out" when billionaires are getting tax cuts and social welfare programs are being cut every chance repubs get
See how this thread just became a thread about socialism and not the black power movement?
Within our communities we should model schools after this of course more modern as well as having a connection to each students home
Black and brown children must be taught the history of themselves and the true history of the usa

maybe we’re just black socialists
Also the panthers were pro Marxism and pro Maoism
Also the statement "You're thinking too big" (albeit I know what dude was specifically referring to), is the type of s*** they've told disenfranchised people from the jump when they've asserted that they're just as valuable as anyone else.
I don't think there is such thing as "Thinking too big" I think most people forever are crushed to think too small.
So u gotta make up for it by thinking big as u can
U got it
Finding out those people were paid models was so discouraging bro
(But at least we found out quickly)
S*** broke my heart, man
maybe we’re just black socialists
Also the panthers were pro Marxism and pro Maoism
Then call yourselves that and see how far it’s gets you

First of all, u right. however:
Do u have issue with the notion that
A: by the end of the Civil Rights movement in the 60s (I'd say marked by the killings of many of the prominent leaders), the focus was set by King and others more toward economic rights,
and
B. Often the true power (as far as functioning in this world, not power on the inside) is money, the government advocates for and espouses this inaccurate (because it's set up for the wealth only to be held by a very few) notion of capitalism and "hard work/making your own way," while gentrifying communities, perpetrating the oppressive structures that have been racist, sexist, imperialist, and destructive.
We may have gone off course from the Black Panthers/Black Power topic but i guess many of us see power for a great number of people in a better balance of wealth distribution and this would lead to better healthcare and education which I believe knowledge is absolutely a very valuable power

He's saying they'll deadass kill u whether in the media or in the flesh if you label yourself a marxist or whatever
Often the government equates most of these ideas to "radical" and "dangerous" groups, its just the way s*** has been in this country,
And certain words bring a certain connotation so u might have to rebrand some of the terms

It already exists.

......Okay again. It exists already.

I mean social-democratic might appeal to a little bit broader audience
just cause in this country we scapegoated socialism and communism and equated them to the enemy and radicalism
