Socio-Political Economic Re-construction,
Nation-Building, and the Parameters of Authentic Wafrika Weusi Global SBЗ/Seba:

Abstract
The socio-political economic, sociological,
psychological, socio-historical, philosophical, physiological, chemical and theological
liberation of Global Wafrika Weusi nations from two and half millennia of
domination by Eurasian imperialist socio-political economic power elites,
currently exemplified in the structural and functional nature of the global
socio-political economic and political power relationships associated with globalization,
have far reaching implications for Afrikan educational philosophy and praxis.
The transformation of the present educational policy agenda of Global Wafrika
Weusi peoples requires the reconstruction of the Euro-centrically contrived ‘domain
of discourse’ within which the current discussion, debate, policy design,
implementation and evaluation initiatives occur. This then suggests an
Afrikan-centered philosophical frame of reference evolving out of the Afrikan
historical experience. In this light
this paper utilizes Applied General Systems Theory and socio-historical analysis
methodology within the integrative philosophical framework of the KMT/Kemet
cosmological concept of MЗ‘T/Maat, to analyze the impact of Eurasian educational
policies in Global Wafrika Weusi Nations; and nine key areas around which a
Pan-Afrikan educational policy agenda could be focused.
“Aachaye kweli huirudia.” [Kiswahili
Proverb]
"We aim, politically, at government
of the Africans by the Africans, for the Africans, with everybody who owes his
only loyalty to Africa and who is prepared to accept the democratic rule of an
African majority being regarded as an African." [Mhenga Mangaliso Sobukwe]
Twenty-five hundred years ago c. 3716 KC
[c. 525 BCE] an imperial coalition of the Kingdom of mulattosized Wafrika Weusi [Kiswahili: Black Afrikan] Persians and descendants of
Indo-European Russian Steppe nomads represented by the Kingdom of the Medes
successfully routed the armies of KMT/Kemet
[Kush/Kemet: Ancient Egypt], one of
the earliest and greatest pluralist global powers of Afrika Nyeusi [Kiswahili:
Black Afrika],[2]
established, developed and maintained by Wafrika Weusi, an exemplar of Utamaduni Mkubwa ya Afrika [Kiswahili: Afrikan High Culture, i.e. Civilization];
and sacked WЗST/Waset [Kush/Kemet: Ancient Egyptian Thebes,
Luxor-Karnak] the capital and Holy City of the Watu Weusi [Kiswahili: Black
People, i.e. Blacks]. This act ended
over ten thousand years 12759-3716 KC [c. 17000-525 BCE][3]
of the undisputed global predominance of Utamaduni Mkubwa ya Afrika Nyeusi and
effectively began the sustained Eurasian onslaught of Wafrika Weusi populations
and the conquest and domination of the lands of the Watu Weusi.
When considering the resulting
spiritual-religious, cognitive, affective and psycho-motor physiological
enshacklement of Wafrika Weusi and the necessity of socio-political, socio-economic,
psycho-historical, psychological, physiological, bio-chemical and theological liberation
of the intelligentsia and peasantry of Global Wafrika Weusi Nations[4]
from two and a half millennia of domination by Eurasian power elites, a
situation currently exemplified in the structural and functional nature of the
global economic and political power relationships associated with Eurasian
Globalization,[5]
the specific course of action, the Njia
[Kiswahili: Way],[6]
that the various authentic Afrikan governments, i.e., traditional Afrikan state
institutions, Afrikan liberation organizations and neo-colonial political economic
administrations have been and are following must be thoroughly examined with
the express purpose of determining where the course of action is leading, so
that in the quest and struggle for cultural, political, economic, military and
spiritual liberation by Wafrika Weusi the desired destination is reached as
opposed to the unintended or undesired, and through strategic planning and
strategic management future strategic public policy goals and possibilities are
outlined and delineated. The purpose,
assumptions, point of view, evidence, concepts, ideologies, inferences,
conclusions, implications and theoretical underpinnings of the course of action
must be systematically reassessed periodically so as to provide greater
assurance that the elemental basis is valid and is not leading into
unintentional directions, or to prevent the conclusion that the problem has
been solved when in reality the problem has not been properly defined and the
solution leaves the problematic situation intact. In the words of Mhenga John Garang, of the
Sudan Peoples’ Liberation Army/Movement [SPLA/SPLM] this is “…not liberation
from whom; it is liberation from what.”
For Watu Weusi the world over the context
is one of war. A military, political, economic and cultural war which has lasted
for well-nigh nearly three millennia and within the last half of the most
recent millennia or the past “Two Thousand Seasons”[7]
has reached terroristic holocaust proportions, during the Maafa Mkubwa [Kiswahili:
Great Suffering].[8] In the last half of the past century cultural
imperialism[9]
or culturecide[10]
sustained through cultural racism[11]
and democide[12]
or genocide perpetrated by Eurasian power elites with the connivance of
neo-colonial political economic administrations through socio-biological,
political-economic and military means have left the intelligentsia and
peasantry of Global Wafrika Weusi Nations at their most vulnerable.
As a state of protracted Mfecane [Kizulu: Total War] of submission accompanied by Difaqane [Kisotho: Forced Migration] exists between Eurasian and Afrikan
nations, the development of a countervailing Global Wafrika Weusi Power is then
a necessity not only to ensure the survival of Global Wafrika Weusi Nations but
also their eventual growth and expansion as well. To accomplish this task the reconstruction of
the present economic, political and SBЗ/Seba [Kush/Kemet:
Education] policy agenda of Global Afrika Nations requires the
re-construction of the Eurocentrically contrived domain of discourse, within
which the current discussion, debate and policy design, implementation and
evaluation initiatives occur. In fact
this is of primary importance as the very intellectual geneaology of the
current concepts, ideas and ideologies which predominate amongst the
intelligentsia and peasantry of Global Wafrika Weusi Nations is suspect as a
result of their origin in the language and culture of anti-Afrikan Eurasians. Under
the current context all Afrikan life sustaining institutions are controlled by
antagonistic others and that is by nature subjugation and enslavement.[13]
For Afrikan Liberation encompasses and
succinctly defined by Afrikan initiated action to restore Afrikan independence
and freedom of movement and development in the socio-political, socio-economic
and psycho-historical modalities of Afrikan life. Furthermore, this entails Afrikan liberatory
praxis which extends into the psychological, sociological, physiological,
bio-chemical and spiritual-theological spheres of Afrikan human endeavor and
delves into the complex web of social organization encapsulated within the
typology of human activity as presented by Neely Fuller and expounded upon by
Frances Cress Welsing. A typology which
includes “…economics, education, entertainment, labor, law, politics, religion,
war and sex,” and to which we must most definitely add optimal health. Thus when speaking of Afrikan Liberation we
are speaking of Afrikan self-emancipation that in order to be achieved requires
the reformation of Afrikan political praxis.
The reorganizing and redesigning of Afrikan political economic praxis is
at its essence a palingenesis or renaissance of Afrikan agency and thus a reconstitution
of the present political economic public policy agenda of Global Wafrika Weusi
Nations.
This then suggests an Afrikan-centered
philosophical frame of reference evolving out of the Global Wafrika Weusi Historical
Experience; a frame of reference which considers domination, specifically as it
is maintained by the power determining constants of military differentials,
economic differentials, health differentials, technological differentials,
control of the domain of discourse, the power of definition, the definition of
intelligence and the function of SBЗ/Seba.
These must be appropriated, alleviated of anti-Afrikan baggage and
utilized in spiritual, cognitive, affective and psycho-motor physiological
insurgent and counter-insurgent intellectual strategies. In particular, in order to give definite and
concrete form to an authentically Afrikan Public Policy Agenda of
Nation-building within the context of Neo-Liberal Disaster Monopoly Capitalism,[14]
Balkanization or Haitifcation of Global Wafrika Weusi countries and that will
provide Remediational and Preventative remedies to the current predicament it
is necessary to re-envision the SBЗ/Seba system of Global Wafrika Weusi peoples
and recreate it from the perspective of the commonalities located within
discarded original Afrikan SBЗ/Seba systems, specifically the analytical socio-historical methodology
contained in the integrative philosophical framework of the KMT/Kemet
cosmological concept of MЗ‘T/Maat [Kush/Kemet:
Guide of Divine Action,[15]
Truth,
Justice, Harmony, Balance, Order, Reciprocity, Propriety]. In this
light this article will analyze the impact of Western and Arab SBЗ/Seba
systems and policies on Afrikan
children, the nine key areas around which an authentically Pan-Afrikan SBЗ/Seba
policy agenda should be focused; namely, the power determining constants of
military differentials, economic differentials, technological differentials,
the definition of intelligence, the power of definition, control of the domain
of discourse, the purpose of SBЗ/Seba, socio-political economic reconstruction,
nation-building and alternatives to Eurasian globalization, which is itself a
neo-liberal re-manifestation of genocidal 57th [16th]
century Eurasian institutions of enslavement and colonization. With this aim in mind the following questions
rise to the fore:
1) What is the purpose of Afrikan
SBЗ/Seba?
2) What is the propagandized nature of
the Eurasian SBЗ/Seba system?
3) What is an alternative perspective
on the nature of the Eurasian SBЗ/Seba system?
4) What has been the specific
relationship between the SBЗ/Seba system of Eurasia and the SBЗ/Seba system of
Afrikan peoples?
5) What has been the impact of the
SBЗ/Seba system of Eurasia on Afrikan societies?
6) What are some of the existing
problems with the current SBЗ/Seba system in place throughout Global Wafrika
Weusi Nations?
7) What does a systems level analysis
uncover concerning the nature and intent of the current SBЗ/Seba system in
place amongst Global Wafrika Weusi Nations?
8) What does this analysis suggest
about an Afrikan-centered course of action?
9) What are the salient factors of a
Pan-Afrikan SBЗ/Seba Policy Agenda?
Socio-Political
Economic Re-construction of Afrikan Society
"We have a lot of scholars, writers and politicians doing more
talking than writing and more talking than acting. We have enough actors. We
have enough people to talk about us and to beg. We now need people who
understand what real liberation is all about and who will act to make positive
change for black people happen." [Mhenga John
Henrik Clarke]
Through an Afrikan-centered critical
analysis of Eurasian national socio-political economic reconstruction efforts
in such representative case studies as nations of Haiti, Nigeria, Zymbabwe, South
Sudan, Nubian [Southern] Egypt, Afghanistan, Iraq and the predominantly Wafrika
Weusi city of New Orleans in the United States of America the prevailing view
of national rural and urban socio-political economic reconstruction in Western
or westernized countries[16]
focuses on increases in certain measures of international Eurasian imperialist and
local neo-colonial comprador elite constituency oriented, government based,
socialized economic autonomy or the transfer of major national resources into
the hands of a private minority, which are held by Western trained
intelligentsia to be prerequisites for the maintenance of stable democratic,
free market economy oriented capitalist societies.
These measures of international Eurasian
imperialist and local neo-colonial comprador elite oriented political economic
autonomy are standardized in the form of an Index of Economic Freedom and place
attention on particular international Eurasian and local comprador elite
oriented public policies such as a countries trade policy to determine whether
said public economic policies are either protectionist or free-trade
oriented. From the vantage point of the
Western originated theory and ideology of Free Market Capitalism, protectionist
public economic policies are seen as being detrimental to the free flow of
financial capital, economic goods and services and as such public economic
policies are believed to create barriers to Western-centric international trade
and thus potentially disrupt the Western devised structures of the current
international political economy.
Another of the international Eurasian
imperialist and local neo-colonial comprador elite oriented political economic
measures is concerned with government budgets i.e., the national public revenues
and expenditures, in particular the size and magnitude of the fiscal burden
created by government expenditures, more succinctly whether the nation
maintains an expansionary or contractionary fiscal public policy, as well as
the progressive or regressive nature of personal income and corporate tax
rates. Those policies which favor the financial interests of the international
Eurasian imperialist and local neo-colonial comprador elite such as
contractionary fiscal public policies and regressive tax rates are most favored
as a sign of economic freedom. The nation’s
monetary public policy is also of importance especially whether the government
enforces either an expansionary and therefore inflationary monetary public
policy or contractionary and therefore deflationary monetary public
policy. As inflation erodes the value of
accumulated currency and creates a situation where borrowing is advantageous as
the loans are being repaid in devalued currency, a contractionary monetary
public policy is accounted as a positive.
The level and type of government intervention in the nation’s economy on
behalf of the general public through such efforts as nationalizing key
industries and resources or heavy regulation are also central to determining a
nation’s level of economic freedom. If
this occurs, then the country is held to be on the verge of political economic
instability or in danger of becoming a “failed state” and a threat to the
stability of the international community.
As previously stated it is the interests of the international Eurasian
imperialist and local neo-colonial comprador elite which are given preeminence.
The nature of banking and finance or what type of banking rules, especially
restrictions, are put in place by the government are used to determine
financial freedom and are connected to the flow of financial capital and
foreign investment and thus suggest the degree of investment freedom. Of equal importance is the implementation of
western styled property rights and wage and price systems to facilitate private
accumulation of resources and exploitation of the grassroots by the
international Eurasian imperialist and local neo-colonial comprador elite, as
well as the size and nature of the informal market within the country.
Given its focus on the concerns of the
international Eurasian imperialist and local neo-colonial comprador elite the
standards do not address land reform, sustainable development and sustainable
livelihoods, economic warfare, unemployment and underemployment, the quality,
quantity and cultural orientation of SBЗ/Seba, control of health, housing and
food institutional mechanisms, appropriateness of colonial and neo-colonial
nation-state model to Afrika, the North and South political economic structural
conflict, agricultural productivity as defined by the health and welfare of the
population, rural development, environmental protection and expansion,
international debt peonage, appropriateness of foreign technology, foreign
institutions and foreign value systems and balance of payments. All of these concerns are however necessary
considerations in substantive socio-political economic re-construction and
nation-building and political economic development.
The Sacred Purpose of Afrikan
SBЗ/Seba
"Self-mastery is the fruit of self-knowledge." [Afrikan Proverb]
For any self-actualizing,
self-determinant people SBЗ/Seba is the means by which they maintain their
bio-genetic existence and enhance their spiritual-physiological growth. As Mhenga
Amos N. Wilson states:
“To many of us see
education as essentially as a preparation
for
jobs, as a preparation for moving up in social status, and
a
means of securing a better lifestyle.
And certainly these are
some
of the major functions. However, I do
not see them as
the
primary functions of education. I think it is vital that we
understand
that the major function of education is to help
secure
the survival of a people. When we talk
about maximizing
the
intelligence of Black children we are speaking not just in terms
of
their ability to go through school and to get better reading
and
writing averages and go to the right colleges.
We are
concerned
about enhancing their intelligence so that it can
serve
as a means for maintaining the actual physical survival
of
Black people…We must evaluate education in terms of its
fruits.”[17]
To
this end a self-conscious people painstakingly accumulate and scrupulously
transmit through the generations their aggregated wisdom and experience in all
areas of human activity. By attentively
and with great caution teaching their culturally specific concepts, ideas and
ideologies in the areas of philosophical, biological, genetic, intellectual,
ethical, sociological, vocational, political, historical, psychological,
spiritual-theological, physiological, anthropological, technological and
economic inquiry a people prepare their descendants to manipulate, administer
and control the full gamut of the institutional structures of power. While adhering to the essence of Wahenga na
Wahenguzi wisdom their young are encourage to consider the multiplicity of
processes by which their existence is sustained and to actively engage in the
methodology of self-discovery or to learn for oneself the why’s, how’s and
wherefores of organized, socially constructed human existence. A self-aware people demand that their
children be as it were in a constant state of internal and external evolution
and revolution consistently and pervasively observing, enquiring, learning and
teaching, ever in movement against a sterile, static understanding of the
dynamism that is ever-living, ever-growing tradition to banish trepidation,
neurosis and antipathy.
The Eurasian Propagandized
Conceptualization of SBЗ/Seba
"Silence does not exist so long as
you are not master of yourself." [Afrikan Proverb]
According to the traditional neo-liberal
view at the micro-level of analysis centering on the individual SBЗ/Seba system
administrators and faculties stress the proverbial illumination function of the
information institutions which are presented as providing the individual with
civilization and culture and a sense of sophistication and refinement. The corporate business paradigm projects the SBЗ/Seba
system as the producer of skilled wage laborers and managerial staff. The parental stakeholders on the other hand
generally view the SBЗ/Seba system as the primary equalizer in the distribution
of income as it is a stepping stone to socio-economic mobility. The micro-level of analysis is extended to
the national society as a whole providing a spiritual, cognitive, affective and
psycho-motor physiological link between the minds of the grassroots and the
needs of the international Eurasian imperialist and local neo-colonial
comprador elite. As the socio-political
context is one defined by neo-colonial and neo-liberal ideologies and the local
neo-colonial comprador elite have been thoroughly trained in the Eurasian SBЗ/Seba
system and instilled with colonized knowledge which exalts the Eurasian way of
life as being progressive and the Afrikan way as being regressive or backwards,
SBЗ/Seba is mis-defined as schooling or mere training which requires rote
memorization. Additionally, as the
international Eurasian elite and the Eurasian nations that they have forged
from genocide and exploitation is conceived of as the standard of measure,
Global Wafrika Weusi Nations are interpreted by the intelligentsia and
peasantry as being without SBЗ/Seba when they have no Western styled system of
schooling. Turning their proverbial
backs on their own valid Afrikan heritage the neo-colonial local comprador
elite accept imitation of the West as a virtue, westernization as a mark of
civilization and equate civilization with western defined SBЗ/Seba which is
nothing more than repetitive training.
In this way training or schooling is deceptively presented as a
progressive liberatory act and a prerequisite for economic development. As Martin Carnoy states:
“Thus, the concept of individual
material and moral
improvement combined with
social mobility-all
purportedly due to schooling-is
generalized into
national economic growth and
improvement, into
nations-through expenditures
on schooling-increasing
their income per capita,
civilizing themselves, and
raising their status among
nations in a competitive,
industrializing world. The legitimization of schooling
in this way…is a link between
the economic and social
structure and the minds of
children-the future work
force and political
participants.”[18]
A Pan-Afrikan Perspective on Eurasian SBЗ/Seba
"If you fear something, you give it
power over you." [Afrikan Proverb]
While the neo-liberal, neo-colonial view of
Eurasian SBЗ/Seba currently holds sway across the Afrikan continent and
throughout the rest of the Afrikan world, another perspective exists that is
considered radical and revolutionary but is actually quite conservative. This Pan-Afrikan and Afrocentric critical
analysis suggests that none of the institutions, ideas, concepts and ideologies
of Eurasia with the SBЗ/Seba being the most conspicuous is in anyway
liberatory. On the contrary the whole of
the social complex of Eurasia which was transplanted into the vacuum created by
the spiritual, cognitive, affective and psycho-motor physiological warfare
waged against existing Afrikan independent social structures are the result of
the institutions of domination and imperialism.
These institutions which are a complex web of socio-economic and
socio-political functional relationships circumscribed by political economic
concepts, ideas and ideologies were created and exist to facilitate political
subjugation and economic exploitation.
Their purpose is facilitated by the language and specialized vocabulary
that proscribes their behavior and is diametrically opposed to the very essence
of proposed Afrikan actions of freedom, independence and development as these
aspirations are against the very nature of domination and imperialism which is
the foundation of the existing social institutions. Concerning social institutions Stuart Chapin
explains:
“We may say that the structure of a social institution
consists
in the combination of certain related type parts into a
configuration possessing the properties of relative rigidity and relative
persistence
of form, and tending to function as a unit on a field
of contemporary culture…a social institution arises out of and as a result of
repeated
groupings of interacting human individuals in response
to elemental
needs or drives (sex, hunger, and fear)….common
reciprocating
attitudes and conventionalized behavior patterns
develop out of the
process of interaction (affection, loyalty,
cooperation, domination, and subordination….cultural objects (traits) that
embody symbolic values in material substances are invented or fabricated and
become the cue
stimuli to behavior conditioned to them (the idol,
cross, ring, and flag are charged with emotional and sentimental
meaning)…cultural objects (traits that embody utilitarian values in material
substances are invented or fabricated and become the means of satisfying creature
wants for
warmth, shelter, etc. buildings, and
furniture)…preserved in oral or
written language, eternally stored and handed down from
one generation
to the next, there is description and specification of
the patterns of interrelationship among these elemental drives, attitudes,
symbolic
culture
traits, and utilitarian culture traits.”[19]
The
imperial system of domination expedited by the Eurasian SBЗ/Seba system was
implanted in order to indoctrinate hand-picked youth from the subjugated
population with the tastes, desires, cultural knowledge, values, norms and
mores of the imperial society and then to train them to fulfill select roles created
by Eurasian culture and investors within the colonial and neo-colonial social
apparatus and maintain the political economic imbalances of the colonial and
neo-colonial order. As the colonial
order was transferred into the hands of the formerly subjugated peoples, who as
a result of mis-orientation and mis-education had little detailed knowledge of
their own conquered but formerly independent Afrikan states and Kingdoms, the
western indoctrination of selected youth allowed the colonial state to continue
now in the hands of Afrikan neo-colonials.
These neo-colonials with few exceptions saw and continue to see Afrikan
political economic development as sub-integration into the existing imperialist
international economic order with their role being primarily that of continuing
to supply raw resources to Eurasian markets for processing and then resale in
the Afrikan neo-colonial states. It
should be remembered that the formerly self-sufficient Afrikan economies were
severely altered by the colonial conquest.
Neo-colonial ideas of economic diversification center on the fiction of
Foreign Direct Investment as a spur to economic development and the idea of national
prostitution or tourism. With regards to the false panacea Foreign Direct
Investment French Economist and Professor of Inequality at the Ecole
d'Economie de Paris, Thomas Piketty states that:
“Foreign investment is complicated
– it's like a drug or slow poison.
It can be useful as long as it
doesn't take proportions that are too
large. When you have a significant
part of your capital owned by
foreign entities, it often leads to
cycles of political tensions and big
political cycles with groups either
supporting the foreign owners,
sometimes in a very unfair and
inequitable manner, and sometimes expropriating the foreign ownership in a way
that is not so efficient.
I think it's important to realise
that basically no country in history
has become
rich through foreign investment.”[20]
Even so, in sum the current SBЗ/Seba systems of
neo-colonial Afrika were born in the socio-political context of Eurasian
imperialism and are based on colonized knowledge disciplines that have been
tweaked on the edges by neo-colonial Afrikans to give cursory attention to
Afrikan achievements and which are locked in a socio-historical setting that
begins only in the last five centuries of the multi-millennia long history of
Global Wafrika Weusi Nations. Though
half a century has passed since Afrikan flag independence, the neo-colonial SBЗ/Seba
systems are for the most part still largely Eurasian oriented and conducted almost
exclusively in the languages and with slightly modified curriculums of Eurasian
countries.
Characteristics, Impacts and Problems of
the Relationship between the SBЗ/Seba Systems of Eurasia and the Neo-Colonial SBЗ/Seba
Systems of Afrika
"From the
time I began teaching, all we Afrikans have done is to find stuff
ready-made---syllabuses, curricula, the whole educational system. We haven't
created our own system. We have operated within this old system. Sometimes we
grumble. We suggest modifications here and there. Low-energy dabbling. What we're
facing now is different. High-energy work. Not just attacking something
conveniently available, but creating a superior system. Working to replace the
old with it." [Ayi Kwei Armah] [21]
The
overarching characteristic of the relationship existing between the SBЗ/Seba
Systems of Eurasia and the Neo-colonial SBЗ/Seba Systems of Afrika is that as
the Afrikan Neo-colonial organizations are nothing more than crude imitations
of the Eurasians institutions they serve only to consistently transplant the
culture, ethics and code of behavior of Eurasia to Afrika and thereby
perpetuate the old colonial social order in neo-colonialist
manifestations. The current framework of
the Afrikan Neo-colonial system is designed to meet the political economic
essential requirements of Eurasian transnational corporations. As such under
the guise of implementing liberatory change the Afrikan Neo-colonial SBЗ/Seba
Systems maintain the old colonialist system under neo-colonialism conditions and
they:
“…impose economic and political
relationships in the
society especially on those
children who gain the least
(or lose most) from those
relationships. Schools demand
the most passive response
from those groups in society
who are the most oppressed by
the economic and political
system, and allow the most
active participation and
learning from those who are
least likely to want change.”[22]
The
Afrikan Neo-colonial SBЗ/Seba Systems in their present manifestation in the
main stifle all critical dissent by emphasizing rote memorization and a testing
regime that devalues the Afrikan spiritual, cognitive, affective and
psycho-motor physiological experience.
The system takes the irrationality of the current dependent, oppressive
Afrikan political economic situation and rationalizes it in the minds of the
few who can afford the costs to receive the indoctrination. By the very fact that it is underfunded by
Afrikan neo-colonial governments whose operating budgets are heavily dependent
on Eurasian largesse it ensures that millions of Afrikan children will be
silenced through omission and impoverishment.[23]
Even a cursory analysis of the Afrikan Neo-colonial SBЗ/Seba Systems operating
in Haiti, Nigeria, Zymbabwe, South Sudan, Nubian [Southern] Egypt and in the
predominantly Wafrika Weusi city of New Orleans in the United States of America
by way of example reveals this to be case.
Additionally this entire system is
dubiously presented as being necessary and especially in Eurasian countries as
being compulsory even though it is not SBЗ/Seba but simply training, schooling
or mental enslavement. Compulsory
schooling is nothing more nor less than repetitive drilling, indoctrination and
menial skill training, along with mandatory spiritual, cognitive, affective and
psycho-motor physiological disciplining into submission to authority, which the
children of a given nation are required to receive by law and as such,
governments are required to provide. The
provision is however socially stratified with even the quality and quantity of
this compulsory indoctrination decreasing with socio-economic
stratification. The children have the
training forced upon them bi mis-informed parents, guardians and an
impoverished society without their cognitive consent under the guise of it
being in their best interests. The
training is also given without any real, substantive regards to the
socio-history, socio-culture or divinely implanted interests of the child. The political economic social structure of
compulsory mis-orientation and the socio-culture which it propagates stem from
the elite groups of a given a society.
In Afrika then it is pushed by the neo-colonial, comprador elite. For the Afrikan child this act forced
indoctrination amounts to the imposition of Eurasian culture, or a terroristic
cultural imperialism that results in cultural genocide, i.e. the complete
eradication of Afrikan culture in name of modernization, primarily because the
dominant group culture is presented as civilized and thus superior, modern and
progressive, while Afrikan culture is portrayed as being the exact opposite.
Alvin Toffler maintains that these
systems of mis-orientation, mis-education and training are devised to as much
as possible effectively mass-produce menial unskilled laborers, blue-collar
skilled workers and white-collar managerial staff with a conformist cognitive
disposition able to mechanically perform monotonous task associated with labor
differentiation. The fundamental
suppositions of the system is that children are blank slates that after a
certain age must be coerced to attend the regimented setting and that to ensure
civil stability all members of the society must subscribe to the same cognitive
culture, socio-political economic concepts, ideas and ideologies. Instead of developing the critical thinking,
critical questioning and creative thinking skills of the student and
encouraging self-expression and self-awareness, emphasis is placed on rote
memorization and the development of the ability to unquestioningly follow
prescribe rules with the strictest obedience.[24]
As in Afrika the SBЗ/Seba system is one which transfers Eurasian culture to
Afrika, then the situation is one of progressive socialization to the norms of
Eurasia, regimentation to the political economic needs of Eurasia and behavior
modification so that their actions will be in line with the tastes, wants and
desires that provide political economic benefit to Eurasia. On this point of view Paul Goodman wrote
that:
“It is in the schools and from mass
media, rather than at home or
from their friends, that the
mass of our citizens…learn that life is
inevitably routine,
depersonalized, venally graded…Trained in the
schools, they go on to the
same quality of jobs, culture, politics…
The students are given, and
seek, a narrow expertise, mastery,
aimed at licenses and
salary. They are indoctrinated with a
national thoughtlessness that
is not even chauvinistic…Everything
will be grades and
conforming, getting ahead not in the subject
of interest but up the
[social] ladder.”[25]
The
Eurasian SBЗ/Seba system as implanted and imitated throughout Global Wafrika
Weusi Nations by the nature of its set up and operation causes the student to
mistake the methodology, structural system and processes of information delivery
for the substantive elements of spiritual, cognitive, affective and
psycho-motor physiological learning such as the nature and quality of subject
matter content, socio-political economic and cultural context, cultural significance
and underlying socio-political economic messages. Within the system of mis-education the
processes of teaching and learning, the procedures for marking and grade
achievement, the act of earning a diploma or degree and the acquisition of
functional competence, the ability of eloquent expressiveness and the artistically
scientific skill to communicate original thought and the reception of a
quantity of service and the actual quality of service are all confounded. As Ivan Illich stated:
“The mere existence
of school discourages and disables the
poor from taking
control of their learning. All over the
world
the school has an
anti-educational effect on society:
school
is recognized as
the institution which specializes in education.
The failures of
school are taken by most people as proof that
education is a very
costly, very complex, always arcane,
The relationship existing between
the SBЗ/Seba
Systems of Eurasia and the Neo-colonial SBЗ/Seba Systems of Afrika also result in a state of Mang’amung’amu [Kiswahili: Confusion of Mind, False
Consciousness] in the Afrikan mind
as the socio-historical and socio-cultural experiences of the Afrikan are
replaced with those of the Eurasian causing the Afrikan, who now has a
falsified self-definition and a culturally mis-oriented self-concept, to
experience an inability to engage in self-actualization and an acute case of
socio-historical and socio-cultural amnesia.
The nature of the teaching is designed to contain the actions of the
Afrikan in a spiritual, cognitive, affective and psycho-motor physiological
Eurasian oriented conceptual and ideological incarceration and to as much as
possible prevent any unwanted actions which would be detrimental to effective external
social control. The teaching received is such that the Afrikan becomes devoid
of a knowledge of Afrikan socio-history, socio-economics, socio-politics and
experiences socio-cultural dislocation primarily through conceptual and
ideological incarceration whereby Eurasian concepts, ideas and ideologies are
presented as universal and substituted for authentic Afrikan social
constructions. In this alienated state
the Afrikan is then able to serve the social interests and meet the political
economic needs of the Eurasian imperialists and Afrikan comprador neo-colonialists. Another aspect of the teaching is that as
much as possible the instruction is presented in an overtly apolitical and
ahistorical fashion with emphasis on self-centered, egotistic, individual
economic concerns so as to give rise to apathy within the Afrikan towards any
socio-political and socio-economic problems that may lead to consideration of revolutionary
socio-military acts towards the achievement, defense and expansion of political
economic liberation and sovereign independence.[27]
An Afrikan-centered Applied General Systems
Level Analysis of Afrikan SBЗ/Seba
"We cannot advance or appropriately defend our interests and lives
as an Afrikan people if we place the fate of our community in the hands of the
educational establishments of our oppressors and enemies, and in the hands of
those Afrikans educated in them. Afrikan peoples and Afrikan leaders should be
the recipients of an Afrikan-centered education. No Afrikan should be granted
leadership in the Afrikan community who has not been certified through
education or experience as Afrikan-centered in consciousness, identity and
orientation." [Mhenga Amos N. Wilson][28]
Thus far, the consideration of the Afrikan
SBЗ/Seba System has centered on a structural analysis. The outstanding feature of the structural
analytic technique is that it makes the assumption that socially constructed
reality[29]
is static and composed of a more or less concrete internal framework and
external edifices. From this line of
reasoning the emphasis is on the organization, constitution and composition of
elemental properties. Homeostasis is
however not the overriding feature of socio-political economic actuality. The actual character of socially constructed
reality is one of behavior shaping interlocking systems of organizations and
institutions. These organizations and
institutions make up a SЗHW ‘ЗI/Sahu-Aai
[Kush/Kemet: Framework, Super-ordinate
System] which is a conscientious planned arrangement of a complex network
of institutions associated according to a spiritual, cognitive, affective and
psycho-motor physiological logical methodology that prescribes a culturally
structured and historically based particular coherent and consistent routine
social, political, economic and theological bio-epigenetic behavioral
comportment and sociological function.
The SЗHW ‘ЗI/Sahu-Aai is in turn an aggregation of multiple small-scale SЗHW/Sahu [Kush/Kemet: Systems].
When viewed through the lens of an
Afrikan-centered Applied General Systems Level Analysis of Afrikan SBЗ/Seba is
a SЗHW/Sahu composed of interrelated essential features and is part of a larger
culturally grounded SЗHW ‘ЗI/Sahu-Aai.
These fundamental features include the entire universe of perceptual,
conceptual and ideological SЗHW/Sahu with language being the most basic
perceptual, conceptual and ideological SЗHW/Sahu. Additional aspects subsume all spiritual,
cognitive, affective and psycho-motor physiologically defined living subjects
and non-living objects. In addition to
being a universe of SЗHW/Sahu, the Afrikan SBЗ/Seba SЗHW/Sahu is also an
integral political economic component of a larger environment, a multi-verse,
the super-ordinate, total or whole SЗHW/Sahu, i.e. the SЗHW ‘ЗI/Sahu-Aai.
Within the total SЗHW/Sahu Afrikan SBЗ/Seba then becomes a key SЗHW/Sahu
necessary for the maintenance of the SЗHW ‘ЗI/Sahu-Aai.
Within an Afrikan-centered Applied General
Systems Level of Analysis, there are two distinct ways in which the structure
and function of the SЗHW/Sahu can be strategically addressed. The first is through SЗHW SMЗWY/Sahu Semawey [Kush/Kemet: System Restoration] and the
second is through SЗHW TIT/Sahu Tit [Kush/Kemet: System Reformation]. The SЗHW
SMЗWY/Sahu Semawey is an improvement or rectification paradigm that is an
outgrowth of the reductionist scientific paradigm as conceptualized within the
Western scientific tradition. The underlying assumptions of this perspective
are that the design of the SЗHW/Sahu in question is fundamentally sound and an
established operational norm is effective when the SЗHW/Sahu is performing at a
level of efficiency. This centers the
discourse of the structure and the function of the SЗHW/Sahu within the
pre-established SЗHW/Sahu boundaries and posits that a solution to any supposed
SЗHW/Sahu ineffectiveness lies within the SЗHW/Sahu itself. This then will lead
to any solutions being merely restorations of the existing SЗHW/Sahu as well as
delinking the SЗHW/Sahu from the SЗHW ‘ЗI/Sahu-Aai of which it is apart and
functions to maintain. If a SЗHW/Sahu
such as Afrikan SBЗ/Seba demonstrates outcomes that are contrary to expected or
stated intentionality’s such as for example the production of poorly skilled,
functionally illiterate graduates, then first the stated public problem will be
precisely defined and the parameters of the Afrikan SBЗ/Seba SЗHW/Sahu and the
lesser SЗHW/Sahu of which it is composed will be succinctly identified. Next, a model of the SЗHW/Sahu
conceptualizing its optimal operating states and efficient functional
environmental conditions or the internal and external actions and reactions of
the SЗHW/Sahu will be constructed from empirical analysis following which the SЗHW/Sahu
in its current condition of dysfunction will be meticulously recorded. The
optimal and actual operating states will then be compared and contrasted with
an eye to measuring the magnitude of deviation from the normal optimal
functionality. At this stage a cogent
hypothesis is put forward; however, the conjecture is limited to working from
the parameters of the SЗHW/Sahu inward and while considering the constituent SЗHW/Sahu
that make up the Afrikan SBЗ/Seba SЗHW/Sahu does not include in its analysis
the interlinkages of the Afrikan SBЗ/Seba SЗHW/Sahu with the larger cultural SЗHW
‘ЗI/Sahu-Aai.
The process of SЗHW SMЗWY/Sahu Semawey
centers on rigorous introspection in which the analysis begins with the
parameters of the SЗHW/Sahu and then investigates inwardly with the inquiry
being based on the rationale that the solution to the problem exists within the
existing confines of the SЗHW/Sahu. This
modus operandi limits the quality and quantity of possible solutions to the
existing functional problem because the assumption being made is that source of
SЗHW/Sahu malfunctions is to be found inside the SЗHW/Sahu. The basic existence
of the SЗHW/Sahu is viewed in isolation whereby by it is viewed as being an end
product existing for its self as opposed to giving consideration to its role in
meeting the prerequisites of the SЗHW ‘ЗI/Sahu-Aai. A fundamental premise of SЗHW SMЗWY/Sahu
Semawey is that the original intended state of the SЗHW/Sahu is acceptable and
is not a possible cause of the overarching complications. Through the use of SЗHW SMЗWY/Sahu Semawey it
is hoped that the SЗHW/Sahu problems will be corrected and its operations will
be returned to a state of optimal normalcy. To this end the degree of variation
between the optimal state of operation and the actual state of sub-optimization
are ascertained. The variance is located then the source of the variance is
sought out followed by the implementation of strategies to correct the
divergence. A substantive problem with SЗHW
SMЗWY/Sahu Semawey is that the effort of correcting the causes of sub-optimization
is not a long term solution, if the fundamental premises and assumptions of the
SЗHW/Sahu are either anachronistic or inaccurate and the actual problem lies in
the objective and subjective goals of the SЗHW/Sahu. Furthermore, as the SЗHW/Sahu is delinked
from the SЗHW ‘ЗI/Sahu-Aai and viewed in isolation any externalities and social
costs associated with the ramifications of spill-overs. Finally, the SЗHW
SMЗWY/Sahu Semawey is inherently conservative for as it seeks to return the SЗHW/Sahu
to some original optimal state it protects the status quo. An example of SЗHW SMЗWY/Sahu Semawey in
action is any social reform movement.
SЗHW TIT/Sahu Tit is a critical and
creative thinking process that engages in an inquiry of the basic assumptions
and goals which are the supports of an existing SЗHW/Sahu. By questioning the underlying assumptions of
a SЗHW/Sahu, the SЗHW TIT/Sahu Tit forces a paradigm shift. This is so because the very purpose of the SЗHW/Sahu
is brought into question and with this leads to radical experimentation and
consideration of revolutionary innovations.
While the SЗHW SMЗWY/Sahu Semawey is introspective, the SЗHW TIT/Sahu
Tit is extrospective and intentionally considers the relationship between SЗHW
‘ЗI/Sahu-Aai and the wider external ecological environment. Rather than engage
in courses of action which will conserve the status quo, SЗHW TIT/Sahu Tit
shifts the discourse to an extrospective focus, from the SЗHW/Sahu
outward. The interrelation of the SЗHW/Sahu
in question to the SЗHW ‘ЗI/Sahu-Aai, then becomes of extreme importance and
the SЗHW/Sahu is defined in that light.
The dysfunctionality is conceptualized and
delineated specifically in terms of its interaction with the SЗHW ‘ЗI/Sahu-Aai
and any other SЗHW/Sahu that is intimately associated with it in terms of nexus
of corresponding objectives and goals.
This perspective is careful to contextualize the objectives and goals in
terms of their correlation to adjacent SЗHW/Sahu and the wider SЗHW
‘ЗI/Sahu-Aai. The pattern, scheme and
objective intentionality of verified SЗHW/Sahu as it is actually attested to be
from empirical observation is evaluated according to the principles of MЗ‘T/Maat [Kush/Kemet:
Guide of Divine Action, Truth,
Justice, Harmony, Balance, Order, Reciprocity, Propriety], ISFT/Isfet
[Kush/Kemet:
Prevarication, Immorality, Chaos, Incongruity, Disorganization, Conflict and
Unscrupulousness], the Nguzo
Saba [Kiswahili: Seven Principles]
including Umoja [Kiswahili: Unity],
Kujichagulia [Kiswahili: Self-Determination],
Ujima [Kiswahili: Communal Work],
Ujamaa [Kiswahili: Cooperative
Political-Economics], Nia [Kiswahili:
Purpose], Kuumba [Kiswahili:
Creativity] and Imani [Kiswahili:
Faith][30]
and opportunity cost, demand and supply elasticity and inelasticity, utility
analysis, cost-benefit analysis, social costs and externalities, depreciation,
marginal analysis, trade-offs, objective and subjective policy analysis.
SЗHW TIT/Sahu Tit posits SЗHW/Sahu optimization according to a
cultural norm and thus foregoes incremental steps to achieve the norm in the
face of sub-optimization. Hence, through the use of strategic planning,
strategic implementation and strategic evaluation of possible new radical and revolutionary
options deemed capable of achieving the cultural norm of optimal efficiency the
SЗHW TIT/Sahu Tit proffers unprecedented pioneering shifts in operation which
radically impact the optimal performance and dynamism of the SЗHW ‘ЗI/Sahu-Aai. SЗHW TIT/Sahu Tit is then a creative
expression of revolutionary thought steeped in analysis of application,
inductive reasoning, synthesis and evaluation, while SЗHW SMЗWY/Sahu Semawey
emphasizes a reductive analytical methodology. Also, within SЗHW TIT/Sahu Tit
the process of planning is elevated to a lead position in the analysis of the SЗHW/Sahu. All involved in strategic planning
painstakingly consider alternative courses of action to potentially ameliorate SЗHW/Sahu
dysfunction rather than looking within the SЗHW/Sahu for solutions and in the
course of attempting to solve the problem simply deepening the crisis through
strengthen the problem and intensifying the negative social impact.[31]
If the SЗHW/Sahu of SBЗ/Seba as experienced
by Global Wafrika Weusi peoples, is viewed from the SBЗ/Seba SЗHW/Sahu inward,
then what will result will be reform efforts: closing the achievement gap,
equal educational opportunity, imitating Eurasian organizational and
methodologies of SBЗ/Seba, kwk. The
underlying questions which deal with the socio-history of those whom Afrikans
are seeking to be equal or that consider whether an equal opportunity SBЗ/Seba
in a Global SЗHW/Sahu of Eurasian domination is really equal will not be
addressed. This is the case for one
because the SЗHW ‘ЗI/Sahu-Aai of which the SЗHW/Sahu of SBЗ/Seba is an integral
subordinate part will not be viewed from the socio-political economic problem
perspective of domination as that is not a conceptualization which is a part of
the domain of discourse. And further the
moral question of equalizing SBЗ/Seba with Eurasians, the world’s greatest
purveyors of genocide, rape, murder, enslavement and wholesale human slaughter
will most definitely not enter into the domain of discourse. A socio-political economic dialogue of this
nature only becomes possible from the perspective of SЗHW TIT/Sahu Tit whereby
the rationale and assumptions of the SЗHW ‘ЗI/Sahu-Aai comes into
question. But even then it will come
into question only from the proper cultural center and for Global Wafrika Weusi
Nations that is an Afrocentric or Afrikan-centered paradigm, which goes beyond
mere Afrikanity or the practice of elements of Afrikan culture, and seeks
authentic Afrikan agency.[32]
When the supra-ordinate cultural SЗHW ‘ЗI/Sahu-Aai
of Western society is called into question and the socio-historical
contextualization of the SЗHW ‘ЗI/Sahu-Aai with its spiritual, cognitive,
affective, psycho-motor physiological, political, economic, theological,
religious, sexual and mythological connotations are considered, then one
possible result of a structured methodical Afrocentric/Afrikan-centered
analysis of this type will be to arrive at the conclusion that was reached by
the Mhenga Amos N. Wilson.[33] For Wilson stated that regardless of the
symbolic changes which occur in Eurasian society as adjustments in the overall
functioning of the SЗHW ‘ЗI/Sahu-Aai of Global White Supremacy; such as the
election of a small cadre of neo-colonial comprador Afrikan elites to high
office in western political economic institutions, certain power constants have
remained the same between Afrikan and Eurasian peoples over the last two and a
half millennia which serve to sustain and expand Eurasian power.
Pan-Afrikan SBЗ/Seba
Policy Agenda
"We must act as if we answer to,
and only answer to, our Ancestors, our children, and the unborn." [Mhenga
Amilcar Cabral]
SBЗ/Seba SЗHW/Sahu currently in place
throughout the areas where Global Wafrika Weusi peoples live are imitations of
Eurasian imperialist oriented SBЗ/Seba SЗHW/Sahu. The intentionality of contemporary Afrikan SBЗ/Seba SЗHW/Sahu given their origination in
Eurasian culture SЗHW/Sahu is the continued propagation of Eurasian culture
through the production of trained persons with the spiritual, cognitive,
affective and psycho-motor physiological sensibilities to perpetuate Eurasian
global power and domination and conversely Global Wafrika Weusi subjugation. The
SBЗ/Seba SЗHW/Sahu which have been
set up throughout the Afrikan continent and the Afrikan Diaspora are in no way
based on the spiritual, cognitive, affective, psycho-motor physiological and
behavioral modes of the Afrikan child; a point proven by the fact that they are
not grounded in the culture, socio-history and socio-experiences of Global Wafrika
Weusi peoples. As they are not based on these vital fundamental psycho-social elements
they ignore the genetic basis of Afrikan humanity and give no thought to Afrikan
cultural history, Afrikan biological history, Afrikan climatic geographical
history and Afrikan psycho-social interaction history both intergroup and
intragroup. Each of these histories is
contained in the very genes of Afrikan people and must be an inherent part of
the any Afrikan SBЗ/Seba SЗHW/Sahu. As Mhenga Amos N. Wilson informed us three
decades ago:
“The genetic
inheritance, the genes are not mere chemical packets
that determine
their physiological aspects but the genes are capsulated histories of the
experiences of our people. In other words, the cultural
history, biological
history, climatic geographical history, the interactions
our people have had
with other people, the interactions our people have
had with their
environment on the African continent and other places over
the thousands and
thousands of years are carried right in the bodies of
our children. It is
a part of their psychology as well as their biology.
Therefore the
education of our children must be based on the knowledge
of that history and the psychology that flows from that
history.”[34]
Furthermore, they are not even in the least
bit infused with the accumulated knowledge and wisdom on the biological
development and developmental psychology of the Black child. Being based in Eurasian culture the SBЗ/Seba SЗHW/Sahu of Global Wafrika Weusi Nations
have continuously mis-defined the socio-political economic problems that
Afrikan people must solve in order to establish Wafrika Weusi power.
By way of example Economics as taught to Afrikan children of both the Afrikan
continent and the Afrikan Diaspora is a mirror image of Eurasian
Economics. Eurasian Economics grows out
of the Eurasian socio-historical experience and is concerned with the
development of Eurasian power within the current international economic order. As currently written about and taught in
Universities worldwide it is and Economics concerned with the conservation of
the Eurasian global position. The global position of Eurasian countries is
intimately connected with the under-development and socio-economic exploitation
of Global Wafrika Weusi Nations. The
current international economic order dates back to c. 5656 KC [c. 1415 BCE] and
in the words of Mhenga Walter Rodney:
“The first
significant thing about the internationalization of trade in
the 15th century
was that Europeans took the initiative and went to
other parts of the
world… What was called international trade was
nothing but the
extension overseas of European interests. The strategy behind international
trade and the production that supported it was
firmly in European
hands, and specifically, in the hands of the sea-going nations from the North
Sea to the Mediterranean. They owned and
directed the great
majority of the world’s sea-going vessels, and they controlled the financing of
the trade between four continents. Africans,
had little clue as
to the tri-continental links between Africa, Europe and
the Americas. Europe
had a monopoly of knowledge about the international exchange system seen as a
whole, for Western Europe was the only sector capable of viewing the system as
a whole...From the beginning, Europe assumed the power to make decisions within
the international trading
system. An
excellent illustration of that is the fact that the so-called international law
which governed the conduct of nations on the high seas
was nothing else
but European law. Africans did not participate in its making, and in many
instances African people were simply the victims, for the law recognized them
only as transportable merchandise. If the African slave
was thrown
overboard at sea, the only legal problem that arose was whether or not the
slave-ship could claim compensation from the insurers! Above all, European
decision-making power was exercised in selecting what Africa should export — in
accordance with European needs.”[35]
That little has changed in this scenario
even though Global Wafrika Weusi Nations are now led by an Afrikan intelligentsia
who boast terminal degrees and training from some of the finest institutions of
higher learning in the Western world and whose curriculum vitae and resumes are
replete with professional experience in international institutions such as the
United Nations, the World Trade Organization, the International Criminal Court,
the International Monetary Fund and the World Health Organization is a
testament to the efficiency and effectiveness of the Eurasian SBЗ/Seba SЗHW/Sahu in preserving Eurasian global
political economic interests and power and Afrikan subordination.
SBЗ/Seba SЗHW/Sahu of Global Wafrika Weusi Nations are little more than
glorified standardized testing regimes in which students take the same
identical test and are considered excellent and proficient if they can
correctly answer the superficial test items that are totally lacking in
critical thinking. The entire testing regime that shapes the lives of the
Afrikan intelligentsia and peasantry is based on the Cartesian
compartmentalization of knowledge of a theorized mechanistic universe, which is
the basis of the erroneous psychological theory of Behaviorism which is
centered on the principle that learning is a passive act of rote memorization
of categorized information. This Eurasian perspective takes no account of the latest
advances in western science since the development of Quantum Theory between c. 6141-
6161
KC [c. 1900-1920 CE], which is itself a belated Eurasian statement of the ancient
Afrikan conceptualization of knowledge as holistic and thus inseparable and of
human learning occurring through the act of the student gaining comprehension,
assigning meaning to comprehended knowledge by the association of that
knowledge with previous experientially acquired knowledge. The use of tests as a
means of assessment results in the negative labeling of students who do not
perform well on the test thus modifying and creating student behavior and
greatly reducing their chances at socio-economic mobility. The link between testing and social mobility
creates associated pressures and anxieties of testing and results in psychic
trauma, illness and suicide among some students. For the students that do not
test well, the differences in socio-economic backgrounds and social
stratification is reinforced in the minds of the students not only as a result
of their performance on the test but also as a result of their callous treatment
by teachers, political leaders and the national print, digital and television media.
The tests far from assessing the quality of the SBЗ/Seba SЗHW/Sahu are merely training tools that provide quantitative data
on those students who manifested the skill of being good test takers and may be
excellent automatons within the current international political economy; therefore
they are not valid standards for assessing learning. Additionally, the test
does not assess the caliber of the teacher or nature of the socio-political
economic structure both which are key components in the SBЗ/Seba SЗHW/Sahu.
There are nine key areas given
Afrikan socio-historical experiences over the past two and a half millennia around
which an authentically Global Wafrika Weusi curriculum for Afrikan agency and
political-economic liberation must be developed. These power
determining constants are: 1) Control of
the Domain of Discourse; 2) Military
Differentials; 3) Economic Differentials; 4) Technological Differentials; 5) Power of
Definition; 6) Purpose of Education; 7) Definition of Intelligence; 8)
Nation-building inclusive of State Management; Policy Design, Implementation,
Evaluation, Modification; Strategic Management; Strategic Planning. From a SBЗ/Seba agenda of
this nature socio-cultural, political economic disengagement, delinking, and
extrication from Eurasian derived and controlled international political
economic structures become key concepts in the critical discourse of Afrikan agency.
It is at the point of the control of critical discourse by the intelligentsia
and peasantry of Global Wafrika Weusi Nations from Afrikan cultural foundations
that the problems of military, political-economic and technological
differentials between Eurasians and Afrikans come to the fore. These words are
intimately associated with the problems associated with domination to be solved
by Afrikan people and thus, must become the determining factors in the
establishment of an authentically Afrikan SBЗ/Seba of socio-political economic
liberation. Perhaps most important then of the power constants is the Control
of the Domain of Discourse.
Regaining
Control of the Ulimwengu wa Hotuba
"The
ideological deficiency, not to say the total lack of ideology, within the
national liberation movements — which is basically due to ignorance of the
historical reality which these movements claim to transform — constitutes one
of the greatest weaknesses of our struggle against imperialism, if not the
greatest weakness of all…It is with the intention of making a contribution,
however modest, to this debate that we present here our opinion of the
foundations and objectives of national liberation in relation to the social
structure. This opinion is the result of our own experiences of the struggle
and of a critical appreciation of the experiences of others. To those who see
in it a theoretical character, we would recall that every practice produces a
theory, and that if it is true that a revolution can fail even though it be
based on perfectly conceived theories, nobody has yet made a successful
revolution without a revolutionary theory. "[Mhenga Amilcar Cabral][36]
The
Ulimwengu wa Hotuba [Kiswahili: Universe or Domain of Discourse]
is a critical discursive logical dialogue that encompasses all of the
culturally relevant linguistic terminology of semantic importance and defines
all spiritual, cognitive, affective and psycho-motor physiological phenomena
pertaining to a specific discourse arena.
Its importance stems from the relationship of the thought, spoken and
written word in the social construction of psychical, emotional, somatic and political-economic
reality.
Through
the spiritual, cognitive, affective and psycho-motor physiological mastery and
sedulous supervision of an Afrikan culturally grounded Ulimwengu wa Hotuba,
Afrikans will begin to fashion Afrikan existence. A key way to become proficient at this is
through an assiduous comprehension, analysis, application and evaluation of the
socio-political economy of human actions.
After comprehending the politics and economics of the various areas of
human activity, it will be possible for the intelligentsia and peasantry of
Global Wafrika Weusi Nations to reconstruct authentic Afrikan political
praxis. Praxis at its most profound
level is the culturally defined, predetermined collection of socio-political
economic traditional practices, norms, code of behavior and mores which are
rooted in the Afrikan Utambuzi wa [Kiswahili: Utambuzi wa- Consciousness of] KT
MЗ KT/Ket.Ma.Ket [Kush/Kemet: Collectiveness] or World-View and
its theories, axioms, concepts, beliefs, assumptions, ideas and ideologies. The
Utambuzi wa KT MЗ KT/Ket.Ma.Ket is shaped by a socio-historical consciousness that
informs actions through the precedents provided from a shared socio-cultural
history that serve as models for contemporary practice. One such shared
socio-historical practice of Global Wafrika Weusi peoples is MЗ‘T/Maat. MЗ‘T/Maat
is the conceptualization of the organizing principles which are the bases of
the Laws uniting all of Creation into a spiritual organic whole. The idea
extends beyond the confines of the Mfumo
wa Uhusiano wa Walimwengu, Viumbe na Mazingira [System of Relationships of Human Beings,
Creatures and the Environment; Ecological System]
encompassing the Cosmos and sustaining itself through the duality of existence in
the people of the community who were viewed as being mirror images of the creator
even as Mlimwengu [Kiswahili: Human Being] is the reflection
of and is reflected by the Ulimwengu
[Kiswahili: Universe].
MЗ‘T/Maat based socio-cultural praxis is the
foundation for MЗ‘T/Maat socio-political economic interaction. MЗ‘T/Maat socio-political economic
interaction is in turn capable of categorization into a series of postulates
for consciously doing political economy.
The classification of the Afrikan-centered
postulates that provide a template of some of the recurring phenomena of the
socio-political economic cycle and serve as a guide for consciously engaging in
socio-political economic activity may be categorized under the overarching multidisciplinary
concept of XPRW/Kheperu [Kush/Kemet:
Transformative Modalities of Human Beingness] which is itself subdivided
into the dynamic interwoven life processes of KMЗ/Kema [Kush/Kemet: Creation, Establishment,
Production], SRWD/Serudj [Kush/Kemet:
Fortification, Perpetuation, Flourishment, Restoration], SWXЗY/Sukhay
[Kush/Kemet: Deterioration,
Disintegration, Decay].[37]
XPRW/Kheperu of Authentic Afrikan Socio-Political
Economic Actions
Stage 1: KMЗ/Kema
KMЗ/Kema is the bio-psychological process of
consciously engaging in socio-political economic activity in accordance with
the suggested courses of action given a particular context that naturally flow
from the complementary Laws of MЗ‘T/Maat and ISFT/Isfet with the intentionality of shaping revolutionary
social forces, altering social structure, socialization and social activity and
thereby bringing forth a new socio-political economic order upon which to
establish an Afrikan SЗHW ‘ЗI/Sahu-Aai.
Socio-Political
Economic Postulates of KMЗ/Kema
1. Authentic Afrikan Socio-political Economy, which is based in Afrikan
culture, is initiated with an Afrikan socio-political economic concept from
which is derived an Afrikan socio-political economic idea that gives rise to an
Afrikan socio-political economic ideology.
2.
Authentic Afrikan Socio-political Economy, which is based in Afrikan culture, connotes
Afrikan communal perception and cognitive cultural participation in the solving
of collective interests and public necessities.
3.
Authentic Afrikan Socio-political Economy, which is based in Afrikan culture,
is conscious Afrikan interaction facilitated through communal communication,
according to Afrikan cultural egalitarian principles.
4.
Authentic Afrikan Socio-political Economy, which is based in Afrikan culture,
is specifically Afrikan communal communication with the intentionality of
engaging in Afrikan socio-political economic interaction to optimally fulfill
with honor communal obligations utilizing pre-existing ecological, social,
political and economic factors.
5.
Authentic Afrikan socio-political economic interactions that are based in
Afrikan culture, when repetitively completed are transformed into
socio-political economic relationships.
6.
An authentic Afrikan socio-political economic relationship that is perpetuated
over time becomes solidified as a collective representation in the collective
subconscious of the nation and is then converted into an institution by the
collective perceptions of the communal society.
7.
Authentic Afrikan socio-political economic nobilities appear when a select few
who have engaged in acts that have benefited the collective monopolize control
of the communal institutions responsible for the preserving and development of
cultural values, norms and mores.
8.
The authority of the authentic Afrikan socio-political economic nobility is
derived from the respectful accession of some institutions of power to them by
the community as long as they adhere to the concepts of honor and obligation to
the nation and maintain the ethical standard set by their Wahenga na Wahenguzi
in the distant past. As this relationship is based in the Wahenga na Wahenguzi
it is a spiritual as well as cognitive, affective and psycho-motor
physiological institution and imbues the position of the nobility with a sense
of sacredness coupling national sovereignty with the divine.
9.
The authentic Afrikan socio-political economic community is maximally resolved
on the implementation of and extremely intent on making the most efficient and
effective use of Afrikan cultural values, norms, customs and mores.
10.
The formation, planning, coordination and management of authentic Afrikan
socio-political economic organizations is accomplished with the aim of
sustaining and expanding Afrikan socio-political economic interests.
11.
Within the authentic Afrikan socio-political economic community ethnicity and
religion are the issues of greatest importance unlike in Western non-Afrikan
societies where class is the over-riding concern. Within the communal structure
status is the key organizing principle within the ethnic group with status
being defined by the laws of the kinship system and Wahenga na Wahenguzi
contributions to the communal well-being.
Given the egalitarian nature of the society social status may also be
attained through the acquisition of knowledge which is liberally
distributed. Religion or the methodology
of honoring the Wahenga na Wahenguzi has importance due to the social desire of
all members of the society to honor their forebears with time-honored rites and
rituals.
12.
The ability to label or name the tangible and intangible aspects of existence
concretizes socio-political economic relationships within the authentic Afrikan
communal society. This is socio-political economic reification.
13.
The legitimate power to mold the collective consciousness of the authentic
Afrikan socio-political economic communal society enables the perpetual
spiritual, cognitive, affective and psycho-motor physiological concretization
of socio-political economic relationships. The molding of the collective
consciousness with Afrikan cultural precepts leads to these tenets becoming
incarnate in each member of the communal society psychically, somatically and
emotionally manifesting in socio-political values, socio-cultural
predispositions or inclinations that fashion economic decisions in production
and consumption patterns, social interaction, and intellectual capacity or the
social perception of needs and strategic problem-solving ability. This
legitimate power residing within the collective cognitive faculties of the Afrikan
communal whole is the Utamaduni Mkubwa
ya Afrika [Kiswahili: Afrikan High
Culture] and portends a SBЗ/Seba SЗHW/Sahu that extends
beyond the aggregation of information and calling it knowledge and encompasses
the development of the collective social consciousness allowing a total
awareness of socially constructed reality.
14. The authentic Afrikan
socio-political economic nation is a multi-ethnic pluralist society with
semi-autonomous sub-entities existing within a territorial state who subscribe
to the same socio-political economic reification that flows from the
over-arching multi-ethnic institutional commonalities born from Utamaduni
Mkubwa ya Afrika.
Stage 2: SRWD/Serudj
SRWD/Serudj is the technical methodology grounded
in Afrikan-centered argumentation by induction, deduction, analogy and
counter-example and intended to probe the ontological, cosmological and
teleological underpinnings of social organization for the psychical,
emotional, and somatic design, implementation and evaluation of institutions
deemed as necessary for the preservation and expansion of the efficient and
effective socio-political economic infrastructure of authentic Afrikan society.
Socio-Political
Economic Postulates of SRWD/Serudj
1.
In the authentic Afrikan socio-political economic state the collective sustain
social stability through acceptance and propagation of the same socio-political
economic reification that outflows from Utamaduni Mkubwa ya Afrika.
2.
The Wahenga na Wahenguzi operating through the various institutions of
Utamaduni Mkubwa ya Afrika meticulously delineate culturally acceptable
conduct, prudently allocate socio-political economic positions and graciously
apportion remuneration for ethical social conduct based on the measures of
honor and obligation to the social good.
3.
Within the authentic Afrikan socio-political economic territorial state
Utamaduni Mkubwa ya Afrika designates and interprets socio-political economic
reality.
4.
Within the authentic Afrikan socio-political economic territorial state
conceptions of citizens of the territorial state and non-citizens come to the
fore with the advent of non-state population groups or their representatives
and the proper means of social interaction are fashioned by the institutions of
Utamaduni Mkubwa ya Afrika.
5.
Within the authentic Afrikan socio-political economic territorial state
short-term solutions to long-term public problems result inevitably to crisis
within some or all of the institutions of the socio-political economic SЗHW
‘ЗI/Sahu-Aai.
6. Within the authentic
Afrikan socio-political economic territorial state the scarcity of natural
resources that are important to the self-sufficiency of the collective whole or
to segments the social whole leads to increased international political
economic interaction, mutually agreed upon territorial incorporation and in
extreme situations violent territorial expansion.
7. The ecological
environment is the concrete context that mediates varied subjective points of
view.
8. The authentic Afrikan
socio-political economic territorial state generally maintains a governing
structure that mixes government of the few with government of the many at both
the national and local levels.[38]
9. Within the pluralist
authentic Afrikan socio-political economic territorial state when common
cultural values derived from millennia old Utamaduni Mkubwa ya Afrika become
superseded by mercenary rapacity on the part of ambitious high status social
elements, such as well-placed extended families in the spiritual or political
apparatus of the varied ethnic groups who are desirous of seizing state power
represented by the national socio-political economic institutions then the
irreconcilability of the contradictory aims leads to a clash of socio-political
economic values covert low intensity friction and eventually overt violent
conflict.
10. The duration of overt
violent conflict is determined by internal and external support for the hostile
parties, cultural prohibitions on the use of force and the magnitude of
equilibrium of the sophistication of technological weaponry existing between
the warring parties.
11. Foreign Affairs or
international relations is an integral aspect of national statecraft conducted in
a largely conflict ridden global environment through many institutional avenues
such as trade, which is the government securing of favorable mercantile terms
on behalf of business by means of negotiation. High level inter-state dialogue
or diplomacy and trade are examples of low intensity warfare which can easily
morph into open military conflict.
12. Bilateral and
multilateral international covenants are solutions to a given set of
socio-political economic problems which resolve tensions between clashing
interstate interests generally in favor of the stronger interest. These agreements are contextualized within a
given socio-historical and culture time-frame, are static, institutionalized
and intended to render the same results perpetually.
Stage 3: SWXЗY/Sukhay
SWXЗY/Sukhay is the spiritual, cognitive,
affective and psycho-motor physiological decomposition of the symbols,
language, values, norms, mores and ideals of Utamaduni Mkubwa ya Afrika through
the onset of cultural malaise that halts the natural cultural dynamism, internal
moral decadence, intragroup complacency and violent conflict, ecological
challenges or intergroup pressures. This
state of affairs leads to the deconstruction of the existing socio-political
economic structure through the break down in cultural stability, socio-political
economic control and the processes of socio-political economic
interaction. Where once internal
cooperation, accommodation and selective assimilation of external elements were
the overriding concerns under conditions of stability, internal narcissistic
competition and violent conflict now become the defining traits.
Socio-Political
Economic Postulates of SWXЗY/Sukhay
1.
Sovereignty or the culturally prescribed right of leadership and the communally
sanctioned authority to wield power resides in the culturally defined
institution of legitimacy and in authentic Afrikan socio-political economic
societies dwells with the Wahenga na Wahenguzi.
2.
Socio-political economic revolution arises when key social institutions, such
as government and the SBЗ/Seba SЗHW/Sahu, come into conflict desacralizing the institution
of legitimacy and giving rise to alternate conceptualizations of
socio-political economic order.
Definition of Afrikan Socio-political Economic
Activity
“If we are going to be masters of our destiny, we must
be masters of the ideas that influence that destiny.” [Mhenga John Henrik
Clarke]
Afrikan
Socio-Political Economy is a discipline within the authentic Afrikan SBЗ/Seba SЗHW/Sahu concerned with the
cultural, spiritual, cognitive, affective, psycho-motor physiological enquiry
in the form of critically analytic Afrikan-centered research into the
methodology historically utilized by Global Wafrika Weusi people
to strategically plan, cooperatively coordinate and collectively systematize
their technical modes of social production for the balanced use of natural and
human capital in order to substantively and optimally satisfy the requirements
of the social provision of the cultural, political, economic and military
necessities of Afrikan communal society in accordance with communally multi-ethnic
synchronized, culturally prescribed critical systems thinking and organic
decision-making processes for reciprocally-oriented, self-sufficient, strategic
optimum subsistence, natural resource nationalization and strategic natural
resource management in the light of socio-historical and cultural norms, mores
and customs and with regards to the prevailing socially constructed
international relationships characterized as power struggles. In its operative applied form as Afrikan
socio-political economic activity it is a socio-political economic action that
has the intentionality of successfully resolving social rigidity, psychical
stress, political-economic uncertainty and intragroup/intergroup hostility
existing between Afrikan social necessities and socio-political economic
perceptions of the social context and of the rules governing intragroup/intergroup
relationships. The socio-political
context and habitual conventions that circumscribe intragroup/intergroup
relationships are what may be called the empirical socio-economic actualities
of the internal and external ecological environment. The empirical socio-economic actualities are
the ecological environmental circumstances that either constrain or sustain
revolutionary Afrikan socio-political economic movements. The elevation of Afrikan awareness of the existence
and origin of social rigidity, psychical stress, political-economic uncertainty
and intragroup/intergroup hostility existing between Afrikan social necessities
and socio-political economic perceptions of the social context and of the rules
governing intergroup relationships as well as the development of an Afrikan
methodology of resolving the friction is the defining characteristic of Afrikan
socio-political economic consciousness.
Afrikan agency growing out of this Afrikan-centered consciousness is Afrikan
socio-political economics; the vigorous, zealous and enterprising form of Afrikan
Socio-political Economy.
Afrikan socio-political economic action
arises from concepts and ideas, develops ideologies and is best comprehended
through a systematic critical analysis of the sociological, philosophical,
ethical, intellectual, anthropological, biological, theological and
psychological underpinnings of the purposes, questions, points of view,
information, inferences, implications, assumptions and concepts that are its
foundation. These underpinnings and foundations must be perceived and
interpreted in terms of the clarity, accuracy, relevance, logicalness, breadth,
precision, significance and depth which give them structure and collectively
give form to the socio-political economic concepts, ideas and ideologies.[39]
With this in mind it is extremely necessary that the Afrikan seek out and keep
in the fore all assumptions cautiously weighing them as to fail to do so would
lead to defects in Afrikan socio-political economic conduct. The act of
engaging in socio-political economic activity by two more people who have the
intentionality of developing solutions to the social rigidity, psychical
stress, political-economic uncertainty and intragroup/intergroup hostility
existing between Afrikan social necessities and socio-political economic
perceptions of the social context and of the rules governing intergroup
relationships leads to the structured formation of socio-political economic
institutions. An institution is not the
physical trappings that are associated with institutions such as buildings but
it is in actuality structured behavioral methods that are systematized and
utilized each time the particular circumstances arise. From this perspective socio-political
economics permeates all social organizations such as all forms of the media,
sports, music, female and male intimate relationships, families and all aspects
of the Afrikan SЗHW
‘ЗI/Sahu-Aai. It is pervasive throughout
the areas of human activity such as health, economics, education,
entertainment, labor, law, politics, religion, war and sex.
The totality of Afrikan social existence
and the socio-political economic conditioning that occurs from it is controlled
by external anti-Afrikan powers and internal anti-Afrikan elements. These slave circumstances and external conditioning
result in the continued production of mis-directed Afrikans, psychologically
dependent on non-Afrikan external sources who though a monolithic giant
conceive of themselves as impotent and socio-politically powerless. The
Eurasian elite elements that control Afrikan socio-political economic
structures have implemented a socially constructed reality that conditions
Global Wafrika Weusi peoples
to be avaricious consumers thus protecting their own socio-political economic
power that is based on social production and religious, cognitive, affective
and psycho-motor manipulation and exploitation.
The Eurasian investment in programs to control reproduction within
Afrikan families, agricultural projects and direct investment in the Afrikan
socio-political economy allows them to seductively shape Afrikan families,
schooling methodology and current and potential future government officials through
the imposition of the Eurasian Utambuzi
wa KT MЗ KT/Ket.Ma.Ket. The Eurasian socio-political economic
socialization is indoctrination with the exploiters cultural norms, mores and
customs thereby reducing the possibility of any effective challenge arising
against the current global socio-political economic order. Instead, the indoctrinated Afrikans, who are
generally of the well-placed families in the neo-colonial order, seek to be
more fully sub-integrated into the exploitative arrangement.
A step in destroying the entire structure of Eurasian
conditioning that currently constrains authentic Afrikan action is through
intensive study and analysis to raise personal awareness and comprehend that
the sum total of social phenomena are socio-political economic occurrences.
Another necessary step is to recognize that what one conceives of spiritually,
cognitively, affectively and psycho-motor physiologically is what one is able
to discern in one’s concrete empirical environment. The mental faculties selectively attend to
and construct socio-political economic actions for what is has been socialized and
therefore internally psychologically structured to perceptually construe. The basis of this conception is the labels,
names and definitions through which the external environment has been explained
and given socio-political economic meaning.
By way of example if one is given a definition of socio-political
economics as the authoritative allocation of social resources[40]
and then is instructed to enumerate those human activities that one associates
with that definition one will have had two things occur. First, what one considers as socio-political
economic activity will have been circumscribed by artificial mental parameters
that reduce the scope of what one views in the external environment as falling
within the purview of the definition. Second, ones perspective on
socio-political economic activity will be a stratified out-look in which
socio-political economic power naturally flows within a pyramidal hierarchy
from the apex of the pyramidal power structure to the base. The definition and any definition of any
subjective and objective phenomena for that matter ingeniously configures the
spiritual, cognitive, affective and psycho-motor physiological human sub-structure
and therefore associated human knowledge, as well as the comprehension,
application, analysis, synthesis and evaluation of that knowledge. Rather than conceptualizing of Afrikan
socio-political economic phenomena as having a source internal to the
socio-political economic participant one views an external source labeled as
authoritative and by inference as reliable and authentic as being the
legitimate initiator. The power of
definitions is incalculable for they play an immediate fundamental role in the
subject matter of ones thoughts.
In order to successfully identify socio-political economics in
preparation for thoughtful action one should be aware of the objective fact
that two or more individuals will be engaged in social interaction based on the
recognition of the convergence of mutual interests and an intentionality to
solve their common concerns. These social
participants, who have a particular socio-economic background, in order to
solve their mutual interests will engage in particular socio-political economic
actions and have to address a given set of empirical details concerning the
social rigidity, psychical stress, political-economic uncertainty and
intragroup/intergroup hostility existing between Afrikan social necessities and
socio-political economic perceptions of the social context and of the rules
governing intergroup relationships.
In general the vast majority of the
socio-political economic acts engaged in by Global Wafrika Weusi Nations
within the current international political economy is nothing more than
symbolic socio-political economics. An excellent example of this statement is
the socio-political economic institution of voting. With few of any exceptions the important
decision-making on the choices of who will stand in the elections has already
been made in the Afrikan case by foreign and neo-colonial elites away from the
glare of the media. The socio-political
economic necessities of fulfilling the life needs of and optimally solving the
socio-political economic problems of the electorate is in no way a concern in
this socio-political economic processes that are labeled by Eurasians as
democracy. This scenario is an extremely
important issue for in the case of Afrikan socio-political economic activity if
the social requirements of Global Wafrika Weusi peoples and the socio-political
economic problems of Global Wafrika Weusi people has not been satisfactorily
ameliorated then socio-political economic activity has not taken place. In the current atmosphere all that occurs is
symbolic socio-political economics, i.e. voting or the symbol of
socio-political economics has been all that has occurred; and, in the case of
symbolic socio-political economic activity when the symbolic act has ended the
Global Wafrika Weusi grassroots find their socio-political economic position
unchanged and their myriad of problems unresolved. Any figurative socio-political economic act
that one becomes involved in does nothing more than to more fully concretize
existing socio-political economic relationships which are designed to
perpetuate the existing power structure which is structured to solve the problems
of Eurasian elites in the core states of the global economic order and to more
fully coopt the comprador Afrikan managers of the neo-colonial states and
diasporas of Global Wafrika Weusi Nations. Within Eurasian and Afrikan
comprador elite definitions of socio-political economic problems, analysis of
the origination of the problems and the public policies that grow out of that
analysis the existing socio-political economic relationships, neo-colonial
states and global economic order are not the cause of the problems of the
grassroots of the Global Wafrika Weusi Nations, but instead it is the defects
in the culture of Afrika and in the spiritual, cognitive, affective and
psycho-motor physiological faculties of the individual members of the Afrikan
grassroots. This analysis is adhered to
for to consider the Eurasian SЗHW ‘ЗI/Sahu-Aai as the source of the trouble is
to signal a necessity of socio-political economic change in the social
structure and thereby to bring about alterations in the socio-political
economic power relationships and substantively reduce the social position and
privileges of the current socio-political economic power elites.[41]
A Methodology of Afrikan Socio-political Economic
Activity
“White domination of Blacks in our
current social context is primarily by the fact that Blacks think of themselves
and of reality in terms created by the self-serving interests and perspectives
imposed on them by Whites, and act on the basis of biased and false information
provided by Whites without realizing it. They therefore contribute to their
powerlessness and domination by Whites simply by thinking of themselves and
reality in a manner that allows them to be subjugated. Thus, White domination
of Blacks is, to a significant degree, covered by ideology, beliefs which
Blacks have been conditioned by Whites to unwittingly accept. To this degree
their domination and powerlessness is self-imposed. Blacks obscure their
unnecessary domination by Whites and contribute to that domination by their own
gullibility and too-ready acceptance of Eurocentric ideology and their
obsequious willingness to think and act only within the confines of White
generated ideas, social definitions, relations and ethics (not often honoured
by Whites themselves). Hence, the minds of Blacks are used to forge links of
their own mental chains. When Africans in the Americas and the world over
choose to critically examine the “received” ideas and biased perceptions of
“reality” imposed on them by Europeans and choose to know reality for what it
is – to create themselves through gaining a thorough knowledge of self,
knowledge of the world, and through studying and acquiring power they will then
have attained the keys to their liberation.” [Mhenga Amos N. Wilson][42]
In order to effectively engage in Afrikan socio-political economic
activity Global Wafrika Weusi peoples must have a firm knowledge, comprehension, analysis, synthesis
and evaluation of certain subjective and objective specifics of the
socio-political economic environment derived from an authentic Afrikan SBЗ/Seba
SЗHW/Sahu such
as:
1. Delineation
of the socially constructed conventions governing socio-political economics.
The socially constructed conventions are the
underlying assumptions that support the culturally defined method for engaging
in socio-political economic activity.
The culture of origin should be unambiguously named, analyzed and
evaluated to determine if those conventions grow out of a cultural seed that is
compatible with the culture of the participant.
Afrikan socio-political economics occurs when Global Wafrika Weusi peoples implement social change by rewriting the socially constructed
conventions from an Afrikan cultural perspective so that those conventions will
then meet Afrikan socio-economic requirements and resolve those problems that
Global Afrika people must successfully resolve.
2. Identification
of the cultural values of socio-political economics. The socio-cultural code of behavior
undergirds the intentionality’s that the people of a social order individually
and collectively seek to achieve. Socio-political economic ethics are those
intentionality’s and circumstances that the SЗHW ‘ЗI/Sahu-Aai holds as sacred and was
erected to sustain. To effectively
engage in Afrikan socio-political economics one must through the processes of
analysis and evaluation decide if the socio-political economic cultural values
that are currently enacted are to the benefit of Global Wafrika Weusi peoples
and if so act in accordance with those cultural values. However, if the existing socio-political
economic cultural values are not to the benefit of Global Wafrika Weusi peoples
then they must engage in Afrikan socio-political economics to the extent that
it leads to the inception of socio-political economic relationships which
substantively benefit Global Wafrika Weusi peoples.
3.
Ascertainment and description of the
institutional resources that serve as the basis of the power of socio-political
economic participants. Eurasian imperialist power elites and local Afrikan
neo-colonial compradors use socio-political economic institutional resources as
a basis for power maintenance and expansion.
These institutions are behavioral problem-solving relationships
established at some point in time to meet some organized and mobilized
socio-political economic constituencies’ interests. The Eurasian imperialist power elites and
local Afrikan neo-colonial compradors will use their mutual class interests,
access and control of media, colonial and neo-colonial religious organizations,
dominating presence in socio-political economic parties and non-governmental
organizations as key material assets in an effort to add legitimacy to their
efforts to maintain the status quo and to persuade the wavering elements in the
Afrikan grassroots. Those members of the
Afrikan grassroots who confuse the socio-political economic positions, with the
personalities of the persons and intertwine the personality with legitimacy and
those who hold to the mental disposition of the possibility that they may one
day assume such privileges will give much weight the actions of the local
Afrikan neo-colonial compradors.
Additionally,
Global Wafrika Weusi peoples through intensive analysis, application, synthesis
and evaluation within small cadres of communal study groups that should be the
fundamental basis of the Afrikan SBЗ/Seba
SЗHW/Sahu must come to the
realization that when Global Wafrika Weusi peoples alter their neo-colonized Utambuzi wa KT MЗ KT/Ket.Ma.Ket beginning at the individual level and then proceeding to the
extended family, village, city, national and international level, and
meticulously change their perception of existing socio-political economic
institutions such as legitimacy for instance, and spiritually, cognitively,
affectively and psycho-motor physiologically reposition their cultural outlook
from Eurasian cultural assimilation to the panoramic vista of the Afrikan
cultural perspective which causes judgments on existing socially constructed reality
to be developed from the visionary ideas of Afrikan attitudes that they will
then and only then accurately view the extensive socio-political economic
resources that they have in hand for immediate, continuous, uninterrupted use
and be able to efficiently and effectively engage in radical and revolutionary
challenges and eventual alterations in the structure of power distributions.
Self-attainment
of Afrikan Socio-political Economic Consciousness
"A race of people is like an individual man;
until it uses its own talent, takes pride in its own history, expresses its own
culture, affirms its own selfhood, it can never fulfill itself." [Mhenga
Malcolm X]
To effectively engage in socio-political
economic activity on behalf of the Wahenga na Wahenguzi, Afrikan people and the
‘Beautyful Ones Not Yet Born’ one must become acutely conscious of existing
socially constructed reality. Within
Eurasian imperialist reality there are five techniques that are routinely utilized
in order to keep Afrikans spiritually, cognitively, affectively and
psycho-motor physiologically enslaved and thereby hinder the raising of
consciousness to the level of Afrikan socio-political economic awareness. These analytic, well-ordered tactics are the
promotion of Eurasian global one-dimensionality, reification of Eurasian
socially constructed reality, alienation from Utamaduni Mkubwa ya Afrika, the
myth of Eurasian stasis and the Eurasian construction and inculcation of
pathological Eurasian ideology.
1. Eurasian global one-dimensionality
is a spiritual, cognitive, affective and psycho-motor physiological entrapping
of the mental faculties of the peoples whom one has militarily subjugated and
intends to continually dominate. The
dominated people are socialized into the predisposition of consistently
thinking that there is only one methodology of socio-political economic
problem-solving and that the methodology derives from the holders of power. The people entrapped into the psychological state of
one-dimensionality view socio-political economic empirical reality as
predetermined and inescapable natural life conditions that supersede the life requirements
of the subjugated people. The dominated people are possessed by the spirit and Utambuzi wa KT MЗ KT/Ket.Ma.Ket.
·
A method of rectifying the disastrous impact of
Eurasian global one-dimensionality centers on the development of the critical
systems thinking skills of the unknowing victims. With the development of the analytic
faculties one is able to deconstruct socially constructed reality.
2. Reification of Eurasian socially
constructed reality is the
acceptance of the unsubstantiated belief that socio-political economic
relationships once institutionalized are concrete, material, living things that
have and exceed the material existence of the humans that created them. It is the objectification of the intangible.
·
A technique that is of utility for reversing and
preventing the reification of Eurasian socially constructed reality is the
de-reification of the language or more appropriately the replacement of the
language of the conquerors with the languages of the subjugated. This act will
bring into full view the socio-political economic institutional specifics that
when aggregated become empirical reality.
As Eurasian socio-political economic propaganda and mythology are
fundamental components of the reified Eurasian socially constructed reality
when the reality is deconstructed so too is the fundamental myths and ideology.
3. Alienation from Utamaduni Mkubwa ya Afrika is the spiritual, cognitive, affective and
psycho-motor physiological process by which Afrikans are transformed through
the institutions of the SЗHW ‘ЗI/Sahu-Aai persons estranged from Utamaduni Mkubwa ya Afrika and therefore from
their own socio-political economic needs as well as the Wahenga na Wahenguzi
developed methodologies for adequately satisfying them. Thinking based in Eurasian global one-dimensionality creates the necessary conditions for Afrikan
estrangement from Utamaduni Mkubwa ya Afrika.
In the psycho-social state of alienation the Afrikan is so mis-directed
and deluded to the point that they experience an emotional sense of pseudo-bliss
as they repeatedly engage in superficial acts that satisfy their wants,
confusing their wants with socio-political economic needs. Through the
institutional process of Eurasian socialization Global Wafrika Weusi peoples accept the corporate business defined explanation of their
needs and the products that must be consumed in order to satiate them. Being transformed into avaricious consumers
Afrikan identity becomes bound up in the superfluous products that they fritter
away large segments of their life-span accumulating. Their identity is so interwoven in the
corporate products that they are willing to risk their very lives in an effort
to get the item, for example through theft, or in attempts to protect the item
from being desecrated or stolen. This
alienated state of the Afrikan is one in which they have been socialized into
falsely believing personal wants are socio-political economic values and that
the reified existence in which they live are absolute and unalterable universal
conditions.
·
A strategy for combating alienation from
Utamaduni Mkubwa ya Afrika is the development of institutions capable of
allowing the Afrikan to know themselves and create their own Afrikan oriented
world. In the words of the Afrikan Diaspora
psychologist Na‘im Akbar, “Structure your world so that you are constantly
reminded of who you are and who you intend to become. Act in the best interests of your community
and from the perspective of an Afrikan world-view. You will then destroy
alienation and preserve your sanity.”[43]
4. The Myth of Eurasian Stasis is a theory based upon the speculative
supposition that the current socio-political economic state of the world has
remained so for time immemorial and will remain as it is in perpetuity. The theory and ideology of Eurasian stasis is
born form the biological process homeostasis in which the human body enacts a
series of procedures in reaction to foreign stimuli in an effort to maintain
the body functions in a steady-state. By
conceptualizing the current condition of the world as normal and unchanging
Afrikan thinking becomes inelastic in the face of problematic empirical
phenomena.
·
In order to return
Afrikan thought to a balanced state defined by variance in the face of multiple
challenges that allows in-depth perception, strategic counter-thought and
adaptation as the need arises the Afrikan must fully comprehend the XPRW/Kheperu of authentic Afrikan
socio-political economic activity and note that all social orders move through
the processes of KMЗ/Kema, SRWD/Serudj and SWXЗY/Sukhay. Groups of women and
men have always since time immemorial formed social organizations with the
intentionality of meeting the necessities of human life in the face of
externalities in the ecological environment.
The social organizations become empirical reality and socialize all new
members into the culture of the society and in due course of time as external
empirical realities change making obsolete the theoretical foundation of the
social organization efforts are made to either reform or remake the society
either internally or externally. Thus
all peoples, societies, states and kingdoms in their socio-history have
experienced progression and regression and none have existed perpetually.
5. Pathological Eurasian Ideology once inculcated entraps the Afrikan mind into accepting Eurasian
cultural values, norms and mores as the one true and correct methodology or
code of behavior for socio-political economic action. This absolutist methodology being that it is
intolerant of alternative views leads to conflict and fosters barbarism. Pathological Eurasian ideology prevents the
Afrikan from solving Afrikan problems for Afrikan problems are mis-identified.
That the Afrikan is mentally incapable of rectifying deplorable Afrikan
socio-political economic conditions is the very sign of the pathology. Pathological Eurasian Ideology separates
ideas and actions creating two mental states that of the pathological Eurasian
realist and the pathological Eurasian idealist. The pathological Eurasian
realist emphasizes socio-political economic activity with the intentionality of
obtaining power. However, once in power
the pathological Eurasian realists lacks any creditable concepts and ideas upon
which to develop Afrikan oriented public policies. Having attained power but lacking viable
ideas the pathological Eurasian realist becomes corrupted by the trappings of
neo-colonial positions and beholden to the old colonial masters and their
anti-Afrikan public policies. In being
corrupted through the acquisition of neo-colonial power the pathological
Eurasian realist engenders the corruption of the Afrikan grassroots as they are
left mired in absolute powerlessness and degradable impoverishment. The pathological Eurasian idealist on the
other hand is so ensconced in the development of concepts and ideas, which are
grounded in Eurasian cultural reality and thus anti-Afrikan that consideration
of the institutions necessary for implementation, are completely ignored. The pathological Eurasian idealist is seldom
ready for the trappings of neo-colonial power as knowledge of the complexities
of institutional operation and the true nature of the empirical reality are
sorely lacking. Generally attaining power through so-called legitimate means,
i.e. Eurasian selection and election through mass manipulation, the
pathological Eurasian idealist is usually ineffective as far as the actual
interests of the Afrikan grassroots are concerned and begins to compromise with
the pathological Eurasian realists.
·
A
method for correcting this situation is to found socio-political economic
activity in Afrikan cultural values, norms and mores, realizing that conscious
Afrikan action is revolutionary as it seeks to build Wafrika Weusi power
which conversely means the dismantling of Eurasian power. The Afrikan must be a socio-political
economic idealist and realist and take a critically analytic position based in
an Afrikan theory designed to construct Wafrika Weusi power.
The self-attainment of Afrikan
socio-political economic consciousness is then achieved through critiquing
contemporary Eurasian socio-political economic reality. To carry out this task means that the Afrikan
socio-political economic actor must wage a spiritual, cognitive, affective and
psycho-motor physiological struggle to rise above their Eurasian socialization
into the promotion of
Eurasian global one-dimensionality, reification of Eurasian socially
constructed reality, alienation from Utamaduni Mkubwa ya Afrika, the myth of
Eurasian stasis and the Eurasian construction and inculcation of pathological
Eurasian ideology. The Afrikan has been
socialized into Eurasian symbolic socio-political economics and therefore must
rethink all that they believe that they know about the world in all of its
manifestations, past, present and future for the very knowledge they have is
colonized and neo-colonized propaganda devised in the interests of sustaining
Eurasian socio-political economic power.
The Afrikan must boldly take a conscious deliberate position outside of
the Eurasian cultural perspective calling every aspect of contemporary life
into question engaging in the must meticulous interrogation possible. All of this must be accomplished from a
foundation in the Afrikan Utambuzi
wa KT MЗ KT/Ket.Ma.Ket. The goal must be the amelioration of the
social rigidity, psychical stress, political-economic uncertainty and
intragroup/intergroup hostility existing between Afrikan social necessities and
socio-political economic perceptions of the social context and of the rules
governing intragroup/intergroup relationships.[44]
Afrikan Socio-Political Economic Reconstruction
"It is through political, economic,
and military action that we must change our circumstances. If those
things are not applied in the context of our education then we are being
educated just to be servants - educated servants. Because it is the intention
of Europeans that Blacks never escape their condition of servitude. A higher
education means that we will just be educated servants- nothing more, nothing
less." [Mhenga Amos N. Wilson][45]
An authentic Afrikan SBЗ/Seba
SЗHW/Sahu
with a curriculum developed around the power determining
constants of control of the domain of discourse; military differentials; economic
differentials; technological differentials; power of definition; purpose of education;
definition of intelligence and nation-building inclusive of state management;
policy design, implementation, evaluation, modification, strategic management
and strategic planning is a SBЗ/Seba SЗHW/Sahu
that has as its goal the erection of authentic Afrikan socio-political economic
power and is following the template of the many Afrikan global powers that have
etched their names and achievements upon the papyrus and granite stone books of
world history. Its task is to
substantively solve the pressing problems arising from Eurasian domination of
Global Wafrika
Weusi
Nations.
To change
this situation Afrikans must fully engage in the continuing
re-development of Wafrika Weusi counter-vailing power, through progressive
populist socio-political economic engagement in the communities of the Afrikan
Diaspora[46]
and in the nations of continental Afrika. To begin the type of substantive
progressive socio-political economic public policies which must be enacted
include: 1) active Afrikan socio-political economic action through strategic
delinking from the current international political economy and the forming of
regionally and Sub-Saharan integrated closed domestic economies secured
politically and militarily by a sub-Saharan political economic confederation
and shielded by protectionist political economic public policies, along with
resource nationalization and a substantive rewriting of the current laws of
conducting business throughout sub-Saharan Afrika by removing so-called tax
break incentives for foreign corporations doing business in Afrika, which are
in reality nothing more than a means of passing the burden of doing business
away from the multinational corporation and onto the grassroots Afrikan
populations, who are in theory supposed to be benefiting from this example of
Foreign Direct Investment and resource development. There also must be a removal
of public policy hindrances to worker unionization, the elevation of craft and
trade unions to government ministries and the subsidized elevation of worker
pay to life sustaining levels; 2) the implementation of egalitarian measures
such as progressive graduated taxation
on the wealthy Afrikan neo-colonial comprador class and foreign corporations,
justified by considerations on the nature and methods by which that wealth was
acquired, over centuries namely through murder and the exploitation of Afrikan
labor, lands and resources in a political economic SЗHW/Sahu
which
privileges Eurasians over Afrikans even in Afrikan lands; 3) a policy of
extensive government investment in rural health and SBЗ/Seba, along with the
subsidization of rural small farmer agriculture through programs aimed at women
farmers working through formal and informal local women cooperative
organizations, and the establishment of a guaranteed income; 4) the
immortalization of the ‘Rights of Nature’ through the setting down in stone in
the manner of the Wahenga na Wahenguzi and the placement throughout the nation
of granite-markers commemorating the enactment of communal laws enshrining the
‘Rights of Nature’ and the protection and expansion of indigenous forestation;
5) the enactment of laws protecting the sustainable, holistic use of the land,
respecting the sanctity of the earth and, forbidding non-Afrikan land ownership
and land use as well as enshrining Afrikan communal land ownership and social
land guardianship in honor of the Creator, in remembrance of the Wahenga na
Wahenguzi and on behalf of the Beautyful Ones Not Yet Born; 6) extensive state
and local coordinated infrastructure development, infrastructure maintenance
and infrastructure rehabilitation utilizing Afrikan technical expertise and
local labor only; 7) state and local coordinated industrial policy centered on
inter-Afrikan manufacture, inter-Afrikan trade and mutual inter-Afrikan
reconstruction and development and the subsidization of industries such as
artisan and textile manufacturing; 8) the limitation or severe constraining of
capital export and a revaluation of Afrikan currency theory and the foundations
of exchange rates along with the creation of a gold backed sub-Saharan wide
currency minted from Afrikan gold and used in all transactions involving
Afrikan nationalized natural resources and all other socio-political economic
exchanges and serving as the reserve currency of all Afrikan and Afrikan
Diaspora peoples. Such an Afrikan currency will shift the balance of global
power to sub-Saharan Afrika as under such a currency the wealth of a nation
would center on gold reserves as opposed to the current system which determines
wealth based on the total amount of U.S. Dollars exchanged, as the U.S. Dollar
along with the European Union Euro is in high demand with the U.S. Dollar being
the current reserve currency globally; 9) the setting and enforcement of
minimum import levels; 10) the unified invalidation, nullification and
repudiation by sub-Saharan Afrikan grassroots representative organizations of
the Afrikan neo-colonial comprador initiated foreign debt, which is a tool of
neo-colonialist control of Afrikan resources through the subtle methodology of
western centered international finance and imperialist controlled international
trade; and 11) the total rejection and complete abandonment of imperialist
foreign aid.
These public policies recognize that
Afrikan nations must follow a course of action which leads to the extrication
of Afrikan socio-political economics from the fallacy of so-called ‘Free
Market’ discipline, while advocating and implementing high levels of domestic
market protectionism.
The
colonially imported, militarily imposed, Afrikan neo-colonial comprador managed
Eurasian doctrine of ‘Free Trade’ and Open Market Economics is centered on the
economic fallacy that consumption is the basis of national prosperity. This idea is a fallacy with regards to
neo-colonies, which have had their internal socio-political economic structures
destroyed or coercively altered from the doctrine of national self-sustaining,
self-sufficiency to that of imperial economic dependency. In point of fact, socio-political economic
consumption is intimately connected with socio-political economic production
and socio-political economic production is the actual basis of national
socio-political economic prosperity. When a government, for example a so-called
developing country government, centers its socio-political economic public
policy on the theory of consumption, that government is automatically focusing
the socio-political economic well-being of the grassroots of the nation on the
current, present consumption of currently existing commodities, goods and
services. In a neo-colony or developing country which has an socio-political
economic infrastructure designed to export raw resources to former colonial and
now neo-colonial imperial masters there is either an unprotected small scale
industrial sector, such as textiles for example or no existing internal small
or large scale industrial structure with a supporting SBЗ/Seba SЗHW/Sahu thus all or the
vast majority of existing commodities, goods and services are of foreign
origin. As all socio-political economic
public policies in the neo-colonial setting are designed to support ‘Free
Trade,’ which means that there are no socio-political economic barriers in
place to protect local enterprises from the well-developed multi-national
government subsidized corporate enterprises of North America, Europe, Asia and
increasingly South America the local Afrikan socio-political economy becomes a
dumping zone for cheaply produced foreign goods, which are also of a poor
quality when compared to locally made Afrikan handicrafts.
On the other hand a socio-political
economic public policy designed around socio-political economic production is
future oriented. Such a public policy
gives careful consideration to both the details of the production of
commodities, goods and services as well as to the circumstances under which
commodities, goods and services can be sustainably produced in a continuous
fashion at unvarying intervals and are therefore conveniently accessible for
Afrikan grassroots consumption in the long term. A long term socio-political economic public
policy centered on production also gives careful thought to the rate of
consumption of commodities, goods and services over time by the Afrikan
grassroots as it is interdependent on the rate of production of commodities,
goods and services, to the average rate of growth of the Afrikan grassroots
population, to long term procurability of commodities, goods and services by
the Afrikan grassroots or the distribution of such items among them, as well as
to resource availability in the event of the probability of natural and
man-made disasters which can severely cripple or totally annihilate the
resource base and industrial productive capabilities of a nation. Hence natural
prosperity and the well-being of the Afrikan grassroots is dependent on the
state of development of productive capacities and its related industries, those
that feed into the industrial system and those that depend on the product as
the basis of their business activities and not on a socio-political economic
public policy of consumption. ‘Free
Trade’ is an imperialist public policy best adapted and applied only with
regards to the internal trading relations of the Afrikan grassroots of a
socio-political economic community and not to external trading relations among
nations, especially amongst nations that have imperfectly developed internal
socio-political economic structures. As a socio-political economy is the
outgrowth of a culture, any culture that seeks to utilize a particular
socio-political economy must adapt it to fit the mores, norms and values of
their culture. ‘Free Trade’ is born of
an expansionary hegemonic Eurasian culture and is a belief under the larger
theory of Savage Capitalism, i.e. the Eurasian ideology of socio-political
economic catastrophe. For so-called
‘Free Trade Capitalism’ to be used by Afrikan societies it must be adjusted to
fit the cultural norms of traditional Afrikan communities.
Additionally, the protectionist socio-political economic public policies here advocated enshrine into contemporary
Afrikan Law: 1) the customary sacred rights of life of Afrikan communal
societies designed to ensure the right of each member of each extended Afrikan
family to a self-reliant, socially oriented, psychologically and spiritually remunerative
community-enhancing profession in the industries, crafts, trades , agricultural
arts or national mines of whichever Afrikan nation they reside without
prejudicial regard to ethnicity, religion or gender; 2) the customary sacred
rights of life of Afrikan communal societies brought forth to guarantee the
opportunity of each member of each extended Afrikan family to produce or earn
enough to provide optimally adequate food, clothing, and shelter; 3) the
customary sacred rights of life of Afrikan communal societies established with
the intentionality of protecting the right of every Afrikan farmer to raise enough
food to feed the extended family and to provide a surplus for the community and
nation as a means of making certain that Afrikan society consistently maintains
a state of food security, with the farmer being able to sell his surplus
products at a government subsidized price, which will provide the extended
Afrikan family with a dignified living; 4) the customary sacred rights of life
of Afrikan communal societies evolved by the Wahenga na Wahenguzi to secure the
inviolable right of every Afrikan socio-political economic entrepreneur, both
those of large scale and small scale enterprises, to trade in an communal atmosphere
of Uhuru [Kiswahili: Freedom],
which is devoid of government corruption, unharmonious competition and
domination by local or foreign monopolies with local monopolies being
restricted in size and foreign monopolies being totally excluded from Afrikan
market participation; 5) the customary sacred rights of life of Afrikan
communal societies founded by the Creator to assure the sacrosanct right of
every extend Afrikan family to an accommodating, environmentally sound
family-compound/home; 6) the customary sacred rights of life of Afrikan
communal societies protected by the Creator and Wahenga na Wahenguzi and
confirming the right to optimal medical care and the right to nutritious foods,
which make certain the achievement and enjoyment of quality optimal health; 7)
the customary sacred rights of life of Afrikan communal societies existing
since the beginning of autochthonous Afrikans and guaranteeing the right to a
free, quality optimal Utamaduni Mkubwa ya Mwafrika SBЗ/Seba and
vocational schooling.
What is being suggested is an Afrikan
oriented program designed to provide a self-sufficient, sustainable livelihood,
standard of living to all Afrikans by redistributing the common-wealth of the
Afrikan nation among all of the people throughout all segments of Afrikan
society. The ethics of such a program stems from the moral reprehensibility of
an Afrikan government allowing any of its citizens to be reduced to a status of
impoverishment, i.e., to be forced to be without optimally adequate food,
clothing and shelter even while the country is a net exporter of food and
clothing is abundant, but priced out of their ability to pay and optimal
housing is unavailable as a result of a lack of income. All of these symptoms stemming from a violent
socio-political economic SЗHW/Sahu of
structurally induced institutional genocide born of Eurasian domination and
exploitation. This is an socio-political economic SЗHW/Sahu
that
transgresses customary Afrikan law which is based on sacred concepts of honor
and obligation. It violates the sacred nature of life a value common to all
Afrikan peoples. Most importantly such a
SЗHW/Sahu of socio-political economics upsets the
natural order and harmony of life; dispossessing MЗ‘T/Maat in favor of ISFT/Isfet. The current socio-political economic SЗHW/Sahu
of
Eurasian domination and exploitation is an extremely destructive force sparing
no one, crushing woman and man, girl, boy and infant, young and old and the
Beautiful Ones Not Yet Born. The
established Eurasian socioeconomic and socio-political structures murder
Afrikan people by the millions. The enslavement and colonization of Afrikans
and the enslavement of women & children for forced labor and sexual
trafficking today are socioeconomic institutions which are supported by
socio-political institutions and murder millions through political and economic
violence. The socio-political economic public policies, supported by political
violence or the threat thereof, which allow the ruthless exploitation and
murder of billions across the world by market-oriented multinational corporations
and Afrikan neo-colonial comprador collaborators in all countries is yet
another example of how the legal structures of Eurasian domination can be and
generally are sadistically violent. As Jacques Ellul stated:
“Unjust economic
systems can be as violent as rampaging armies: “All kinds of violence are the
same ...the violence of the soldier who kills, the revolutionary who
assassinates; it is true also of economic violence-the violence of the
privileged corporate owner against his workers, of the 'haves' against the
'haves-not'; the violence done in international economic relations between
Western Nations and those of the developing world; the violence done through
powerful corporations which exploit the resources of a country that is unable
to defend itself.”[47]
The affluence of the Eurasian Nations
depends on unjust socio-political economic structures that make the West rich
and Afrika, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, and internal Afrikan
colonies within the Western Nations, for example, American Afrikans in the
United States, diseased, hungry and impoverished. Land throughout these areas
is used to grow export crops to sell to the Western Nations. That land ought to
be used to feed the grassroots in those countries, but it isn't given that the
masses cannot pay and the Western imperialists can. By their consumption based
lifestyles, the socio-political economic structures they blindly participate in
which support those lifestyles and the political SЗHW/Sahu
that
they maintain by participating in SЗHW/Sahu preservationist
symbolic politics, i.e., voting, the citizens of the Eurasian countries
participate in murder. The socio-political
economic straits, in which Afrikan nations find themselves due to the voluntary
participation of the Afrikan neo-colonial comprador class, also results in the
skewed distribution of resources within Afrikan society. Afrikan countries and communities have a wide
disparity between the small neo-colonial comprador elite and the grassroots. Socio-political
economic reconstruction of Afrikan society is a near economic and political
impossibility as long as between 80-95% of the nation’s wealth is concentrated
in the possession of between 1-15% of the population.
To obtain the goal of providing a
self-sufficient, sustainable livelihood, standard of living to all Afrikans a
ceiling should be set for annual income, net worth and inheritable wealth by
the design and implementation of a progressive graduated income and inheritance
tax. Furthermore, the nationalization of natural resources and the tax on the revenues
generated there from will be an additional source of revenue to finance the
social programs. The taxes generated
will be used for, 1) public works infrastructure development and maintenance
such as of dams, roads and bridge construction; 2) providing Wazee [Kiswahili: Elders] over a certain age with a superannuation fund;
3) providing Afrikan families which have an income below a set income floor
with a guaranteed family income stipend that will allow for the provision of
certain communally determined life necessities on an annual basis; 4) state
subsidized primary, secondary and university SBЗ/Seba and vocation schooling and employment
programs; 5) military service veterans and national service stipends; 6)
creation and maintenance of state subsidized network of free public hospitals,
free health clinics and immunizations programs for the impoverished; and 7) the
setting of a price ceiling on public utilities such as electricity and water, and
the regulation of enterprises which provide other fundamental goods and
services such as commodity production.
This course of action will transform the
Afrikan citizen’s perception of the role of the government and of their role as
government officials and as citizens. It places the government into the role of
a servant, provider and protector of themselves as in a communal society the
people and the government are one and the same. These programs when implemented
will substantively reduce the cost of living for Afrikan people especially the
impoverished majority. For Afrikan citizens will no longer be required
to pay for certain life necessities, such as quality SBЗ/Seba and optimal healthcare,
which the majority cannot afford and therefore do without thus dramatically
increasing future impoverishment, disease and death.[48]
In the final analysis:
“In the
contemporary world of affluence and poverty, where man's major crime is murder
by privilege, revolution
against the established order is the criterion of a living faith...Truly I say
to you, as you did it not to one of the least of these, you did it not to me
[Matt. 25:45]. The murder of the Christ continues. Great societies build on
dying men.” [James Douglass][49]
Thus there is both an egalitarian and moral
rationale that underlies the necessity of Afrikan socio-political economic
grassroots development through an authentically Afrikan SBЗ/Seba SЗHW/Sahu.
Global Wafrika Weusi Nations to a great
extent must become closed socio-political economies which mean that they should
compellingly delink from the Eurasian contrived and controlled global economy
through a redefinition of their current role as raw material exporters; a
complete rejection of free market discipline and other capitalist principles.
Further actions should focus on implementing protectionist socio-political
economic and cultural public policies, which greatly reduce capital export and
product imports; and redesigning socio-political
institutions along authentic Afrikan democratic and egalitarian
traditions. One key area here is in the implementation of policies of political
economic coordination of industrial and infrastructure reconstruction. Finally, there should be massive socio-political
investment in health and SBЗ/Seba.[50]
The Afrikan SBЗ/Seba is especially important for this is the
key socio-political economic institution which will take the lead with
competent personnel in the awakening of the critical and creative consciousness
of Global Wafrika Weusi peoples. This is
the socio-political economic institution which by being centered in the Afrikan
socio-historical cultural experience and focused on the key power constants
listed above can develop the type of spiritual, cognitive, affective and
psycho-motor physiologically aware Afrikans necessary to carry out a program of
Afrikan socio-political economic reconstruction through disengagement from
Eurasian institutions and thereby exemplifying true liberatory Afrikan
Agency.

Notes
[1] In
this article two calendars will be presented as a guide to recorded events. One
is the Julian calendar to which all in the Eurocentric countries and their
former colonies are familiar with. Its divisions used here are BCE, Before the
Common Era and CE, the Common Era. The second calendar is labeled KC, for
Kemet/Kush Calendar. This Kemet/Kush calendar was based on the Sopdet Year
[Sothic Cycle]. The German Egyptologist Eduard Meyer of the Berlin School of
Egyptology developed the Sothic Theory in 1904. See: Eduard Meyer, Ägyptische Chronologie, (Akademie
der Wissenschaften: Berlin, 1904). The
Sothic Theory is based on the 1,460 year cycle of the star Sopdet [Sirius]. The
Peret Sopdet, heliacal rising of Sopdet, is mentioned in many Kemetic documents
as occurring in the same observational position every 1,460 years would occur
on the Wep Renpet or Kemetic New Year. The earliest Sopdet Year as calculated
by Eduard Meyer occurred in c. 4241 BCE, with a second Sopdet Year occurring in
c. 1461 KC [c. 2780 BCE] during the 4th Kemetic Dynasty. Another
Sopdet Year is stated to have occurred during the 12th Dynasty in
the seventh year of Per-aa Sesotris III according to the Illahun Papyrus. The
Eberus Medical Papyrus also states that a Sopdet Year occurred in the ninth
year of the 18th Dynasty Per-aa Amenhotep I. By dating Afrikan
history from an Afrikan time-frame the contemporary events discussed occur in
the, conservatively speaking, 62nd century of Afrikan Global
history.

[46] The
election of President Barak Obama as President of the United States of America
does not represent substantive political economic engagement on the part of the
grassroots of the Afrikan Diaspora and it is not real change. Instead, the
elections are nothing more than apparent change and are merely an example of
elite manipulation of the grassroots for elite ends. American politics is
primarily Plural-Elitist in nature, which means that competing elites who agree
on the basics of the social order as well as on the projection of hegemonic
power but who disagree on the methodology of implementation engage in
structured political campaigns or combat.
Each is represented in general by one of two parties, and each sets the
rules of political participation so as to eliminate the development of any real
mass oriented populist parties. The
Plural-Elites choose candidates that agree on the basic rules of the social
system and fund them placing them before the mass public and to varying degrees
opening the corporate media them. The
grassroots are allowed to choose among safe interests as defined by Plural-Elites.
The sudden ‘rise’ of Barak Obama through the American political system is akin
to the placement of Enslaved Afrikans as Generals in the Arab armies of
conquest, even when these enslaved Afrikans seized power they ruled in
accordance to Arab cultural paradigms. The power structure, which includes the
ruling ethnic[s] group[s], any police apparatus, governors, bureaucrats, kwk,
serve, manage, administrate, enact, enforce the policies of the ruling class in
a country in any historical time. If they seize power ‘illegitimately or obtain
it ‘legally’ they rule according to the dictates of the dominant culture,
seldom if ever do they do otherwise. None of the Enslaved Afrikans who were
made generals or who became Caliphs, Viziers and the like used their power for
Afrikan Liberation. The Afrikan Septimus Severus who became Emperor of Rome c.
4443-4452 KC [c. 202-211 CE] was an excellent Roman Emperor ruling according to
the rules set down by Rome from its inception as a regional power in c. 4750 KC
[c. 509 CE] He did not seek to liberate conquered Afrikan lands. President Barak Obama during his two
Presidential Administrations has continued the economic and military policies
that were implemented by President George W. Bush. At best President Obama has
engaged in pseudo-symbolic political action towards Afrikan people. During his
administration the fundamental sociological, economic, political,
psychological, historical, and religious relationships between Eurasians,
Americans and Global Wafrika Weusi people has not changed. It is still defined
by domination. To go a step further the idea that the Executive office of any
nation is the center of power is obsolete in an International Political Economy
where Corporations weld enormous economic power and paramilitary capabilities
and mass produced sophisticated military weaponry. The actual core of power more appropriately
resides in the G8 Finance Ministers and the Central Banks of the economic
powerhouses of the Triad composed of the United States, the European Union,
China and Japan.

[48] “Poverty: A hellish state to
be in. It is no virtue. It is a crime.
To be poor, is to be hungry without possible hope of food; to be sick
without hope of medicine; to be tired and sleepy without a place to lay one's
head; to be naked without the hope of clothing; to be despised and comfortless.
To be poor is to be a fit subject for crime and hell. The hungry man steals bread and thereby
breaks the eighth commandment; by his state he breaks all the laws of God and
man and becomes an outcast. In thought and deed he covets his neighbor's goods;
comfortless as he is he seeks his neighbor's wife; to him there is no other
course but sin and death. That is the way of poverty. No one wants to be poor.”
