Baraka on Leftists That Collaborate with Empire
Nellie Bailey and Glen Ford

🖨️ Print Article

“We have not made a revolution in the U.S., but we have all these ‘revolutionary theorists’ that know exactly how to do that,” said Black Alliance for Peace national organizer Ajamu Baraka, sarcastically. He recently returned from a conference in Caracas in solidarity with Venezuela. Baraka called “collaboration” with U.S. aggressions against Venezuela and Syria “really shameful on the part of people who call themselves leftists or radicals or whatever.” Any genuine left must oppose imperialism. “Our position, as citizens of empire, is to put a brake on empire.”
