What is Political Power?

“So many confuse what political power is. It is not merely "Voting Power." You don't vote out capitalism and the military arm that protects it. It's a system...”

In a society, you vote for a person acceptable to the once direct slavery class that rules, that created the government, that wrote the constitution, that established the articles of federation, that created the slave then capitalist economy, that created the courts, judges, legislators, presidents, and military. Whites rule in all of those areas (class, race, culture, even sex/gender). It's their system. The capitalists created it in their image and interest.

The central question is in whose interest is the government set up? They just printed $850 billion dollars, back in 2007-8, through their treasury and gave it to their rich white banks along with trillions of dollars off the books---with no mandate to them to loan the money to you or lower your mortgage payments. In 2020 they just gave $5+ trillion to capitalist banks...Common sense should tell you who rules---the 1% that is able to print its own money when it needs it. Classes, races, cultures, genders rule a society in their own image and interest.

No president gets elected if the ruling class/race does not sanction it, through its electoral college. Reforms are possible within a society; they can be progressive or regressive. But political revolutions overturn systems. They are not allowed by the ruling class. Like the first Black Emperor to lead the Roman Empire, Septimus Severus (145-211ad )---Rome was still Rome---the predatory enslaver nation of millions of nonwhites (and even some whites) around the North African, Middle eastern, and Central Asian region they conquered. Severus and his black offspring only helped the Romans maintain rule over Africans and semites in the Roman Empire. Plantation pride aside, of what use is somebody to you who is being used against you by somebody holding you down? It was right to vote for Obama, (at best a smart black moderate with integrity) over the others in the last 2 elections--- who at best were old ignorant friendly fascists one economic crisis away from nazi final solutions). But that vote required one minute. What have you been doing since you stepped out of that booth which will solve the fundamental problems of Africans? He will help the whites hold on for a while. What are you doing to get out of this modern Roman Empire? These are the questions you should be asking instead of silly crawling around waving flags in a burning house. Skin color solves nothing---by itself it is just skin color. Some think differently but we here have never seen skin color stop a bullet or unchain any of the 100's of millions of our people enslaved. Science, engineering, mathematics applied to education and technology is the difference between free and independent populations and those 5 billion out of 7.7 billion crawling around the world begging the few hundred million Whites and Arabs for relief.

The Black man Clarence Thomas as a supreme court judge is more nazi in his judicial rulings than the Nazis. Like Nelson Mandela of South Africa, and Kofi Annan of the United Nations being Black at the head of something white has never solved the fundamental problem of Africa’s place at the bottom of everything. It merely legitimized the white rule under the guise that the whites are not racist because they chose a black token that they can use.

Look at the mess that is South Africa, Nigeria, Chad, Niger, Mali, Congo, Haiti, Colombia, Sudan, Peru, Darfur. Look at the genocide in Africa on the United Nation’s watch. Look at Nigeria. Over 7 million killed in the Congo in less than 6 years---and no help. Over 5.7 million displaced and or killed in Darfur and very little help. At the center of power is military might, and at the heart of military might is technological advances in weapons of mass destruction. At the core of technology is science and central to science is technical education. Have it you win; be without it you always lose in the end. This has been Africa’s problem since the collapse of Ancient African Kmt in 656bc.

Like the first Black Emperor to lead the Roman Empire, Septimus Severus (145-211ad)---Rome was still Rome---the predatory enslaving nation of millions of nonwhites (and even some whites) around the North African, Middle Eastern, and Central Asian region they conquered. Severus and his black offspring only helped the Romans maintain rule over Africans and Semites in the Roman Empire. Plantation pride aside, of what use is somebody to you who is being used against you by somebody holding you down? Barack Obama and Septimus Severus: Captains of Sunk Ships.

Where Does Political Power Come From?
Power grows out of knowledge, technical and moral; then that knowledge is applied to producing the necessities of life, food, clothing, shelter, education, health care, housing, transportation, self defense, roads, airplanes, computers, factories, schools, universities, governments. nations, countries, etc. Voting is as much power as the people who set up the government allow. One must first have a sense of history, a sense of what must be done to see what time it is and fight accordingly. Those who are not serious about solving their 2700 year condition of domination think that they can vote their way into power and a solution to their oppression, take over the government, and then they say, take over power welding the same instruments of oppression that their enemies used. This cannot be done; it never has worked in history anywhere. First a class has historically seized power and then set up its government, because the essential problem of state is what system of state, which means: what race, class, culture, sex does the rule of law that you exercise correspond to? And from this is derived a system of government, written in a constitution. Anything else is worthless chatter from day-dreamers. Study ancient slavery, feudalism prior to capitalism---then study how feudalism passed into capitalism with a new class seizing power then organizing the society around them and the new technologies (which was the industrial revolution which actually ended the need for chattel slavery in the late 1800’s). Do the home work. Fundamental progression for a ruled class, race, culture, gender/sex, or generation has never been made through parliament, nor will it ever be. Someone rules and someone is ruled until the entire economic, social, cultural, and political system is changed in a fundamental way----all of these flimsy working relationships with those who take advantage of us daily subordinates Africans to their slave master's definition of the situation, and therefore subject them to what their masters and the intermediaries of their masters say.

This principle of self reliance means to break with this useless, groveling, cowardly fronts. This is an obstacle. Serious Black folk must quietly and with integrity break with the people who use and abuse them regardless of the color, culture, class, gender, and, assume the class/race/sex position of self-reliant workers. It is not enough to call others names, you have to show that you are not what they are in your day to day deeds, and in order to do so you must first quit being weak. If one wants to be a leader let them prove it, and express it in their deeds. Let them stop being tails, followers, talkers. Let them define what they are in their deeds. Let them define how power is to be used in their lives over themselves. Let them define how we are to win. Let them organize a system that wins. Otherwise, they should get out of the way.

Those who want to lead, that want real solutions, that want independence, that want to win--- let them demonstrate it in their actions, and let them understand, first and foremost that they will not be able to continue to crawl around, taking the road of least resistance, bent over, weak, without heart while lecturing and talking a good game for cash---playing the role of people who simply have good intentions, but totally lack clarity, even though they believe the opposite is true.

Study the history of the United States carefully. Which race rules? Which class rules? Which sex/gender rules? Which culture rules? Who is in charge in education, health care, housing, business, banking, transportation, religion, construction, mining, manufacturing---everything? What are you trying to do? How are you organizing to do it?
