The African revolutionary struggle is a fight for land and a fight to reclaim and develop our culture. Africa is the source of our strength and the key to our liberation. As Malcolm X so prophetically said, " I agree with Nkrumah, Pan-Africanism is the solution to the problems of people of African decent "* The struggle of African people must be internationally coordinated with liberated areas in Africa along with Revolutionary Pan-African organizations in Africa being the basis of this international struggle. Imperialism is an international force and we can only defeat it with an international strategy. Any organization of Africans outside of Africa that does not have organizational and strategic links to the struggle on the African continent as well as the struggles of our peoples in the Diaspora is doomed to failure. Our struggle in America must be organizational and ideologically connected to the struggle in Africa and the world wide African revolutionary struggle. We must understand that our diversity is
an element that is compatible with unity and strength. Africans organized internationally would be s a formidable force that can surround and annihilate imperialism.

PAN - AFRICANISM IS THE SOLUTION!

The long history and culture of African people, is reflected in our courageous quest to make our continent into a nation. Our struggle is a people struggle. Revolutionary Pan-Africanism represents the highest aspirations of our scattered, suffering people. It necessarily goes beyond nationalism and micro-nationalism. Our struggle in America - for example - can never historically or morally be the end results because this land belongs to the indigenous people of the Western hemisphere. Even though Africans may remain in America in the millions after the destruction of American capitalism; we can never claim to be the leaders of this land; that would contradict all that we have fought for. Our struggle is a just struggle and as our great African freedom fighter M.L. King has said, " Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. "

Revolutionary Pan-Africanism is a part of the world socialist movement against capitalism. We enter the international stage from the womb of our great culture and the revolutionary African Personality. We know that the liberation of Africa is the emancipation of humanity.* We are anti-capitalist as well as anti-zionist.* Capitalism has consolidated class divisions within our nation and in our communities, where a small, selfish, corrupt and confused minority helps to exploit their own sisters and brothers - the working, unemployed and peasant masses. Therefore, the people cannot be free without class struggle. We must struggle against negative non-Africans and negative Africans at the same time. We must struggle as a developing nation and struggle against those who are enemies within the nation. We call this a nation-class -struggle. This nation class movement will unify our national aspirations with the revolutionary requirement of our liberation. Our national interest is the people's interest and not
the interest of some backward elite, be it in Africa, America or wherever!

Revolutionary Pan-Africanism clarifies our identity, counteracts our exploitation and gives revolutionary vision to the work that must be done. ANY AFRICAN CAN WORK FOR THE OBJECTIVE OF REVOLUTIONARY PAN-AFRICANISM NO MATTER WHERE WE ARE IN THE WORLD. In the words of Malcolm X, writing from Accra Ghana on May11, 1964"�Eeven though we might remain in America physically while fighting, unity between the African of the West and Africans of the fatherland will well change the course of history�Ee must return to Africa philosophically and culturally and develop a working unity in the framework of Pan-Africanism. "
