True Left

Garvey was the first one I was thinking of when writing in the past about Eurocentrists who call themselves "Afrocentrists":

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcus_Garvey

he declared himself Provisional President of Africa. Ideologically a black nationalist and Pan-Africanist, his ideas came to be known as Garveyism.

"Africa" as used to mean a continent is a Eurocentric concept. This is the actual Africa:



To use "Africa" to denote this:



is as Eurocentric as it would be Sinocentric if China were to use "Xinjiang":



as the name for:



Imagine how ludicrous Douglas Murray (for example) would look if he referred to British as "Xinjiangers" while criticizing China. That is how ludicrous Garvey actually is.

Emphasising unity between Africans and the African diaspora, he campaigned for an end to European colonial rule across Africa and the political unification of the continent.

Why not unity between all victims of Western colonialism?

He envisioned a unified Africa as a one-party state, governed by himself, that would enact laws to ensure black racial purity.

Worse, he also buy into the Western notion of "blackness", thereby not considering someone like Gaddafi to be "African". Imagine this: if Garvey had succeeded, Gaddafi would have been deported!

he was committed to the Back-to-Africa movement

The more Americans listen to him, the harder it will be for:

to succeed. It never seemed to have crossed Garvey's mind that:

the US has nukes. If you flee from the US to a country without nukes in order to escape racism, you are inviting the racists to nuke you.

The only correct response is to seize control of the nukes from the racists. This requires Demographic Blueshift. And until then, you need to stay close enough to the racists so that they cannot nuke you without nuking themselves at the same time. It is literally no different than grappling someone who is holding a handgun. The worst response is to try to run away. You will get shot if you do. Your best chance is to disarm the opponent or at least keep the opponent unable to point the gun at you while you call for additional help.

Also:

The writer Richard Hart similarly noted that Garvey was "much attracted by the glamour of the British nobility", as reflected in the way he gave prominent supporters such British-derived titles as "Lords", "Ladies", and "Knights".[403]
