A century after the United States (US) abolished slavery, these 6 black leaders discussed, in 1963, the many ways in which blacks were still not afforded the civil rights that whites enjoy. This discussion took place before the March on Washington where Martin Luther King Jr. gave his now famous “I have a dream” speech. Click on the following link for more: https://youtu.be/P4Eqb2fRon8

What these black leaders didn’t understand 59 years ago is that US capitalism is predicated on white supremacy and the belief that whites have an inalienable right to own slaves.

The 1% of the US citizens, or capitalist, that run the government will never permit that non-whites enjoy the same rights as whites. That is why, in 2022, we are still talking about “Black Lives Matter”! Do you know that today the world regards the US government (USG) as the biggest threat to peace?

The only hope for the US to ever be a nation that represents liberty and justice for all is for the 99% of us to engage in permanent resistance to stop the 1% capitalists from running the USG.

Then, we must replace capitalism with a new form of socialism that democratizes the workplace. That would ensure that we don’t slip back to capitalism, which is barbarism, as US history has shown!

You can’t negotiate with capitalists when they want it all!
