The Rich Will Use Crisis to Further Immiserate Workers

Over half the US workforce would be ā€œmade redundantā€ if the Wall Street and high-tech oligarchs are allowed to restructure the economy under cover of the Covid-19-induced crisis, said Duboisian scholar Anthony Monteiro. The rich want to bring about a ā€œfourth industrial revolutionā€ in which ā€œunemployment or part-time employment and semi-employment will define what work means,ā€ said Monteiro, an organizer with the Philadelphia Saturday Free School. Hi-tech corporations will ā€œmake trillions in profits as they dispense with labor.ā€

Malcolm X was a Black Internationalist

Especially in the latter years of his life, Malcolm X represented ā€œa reemergence of Black radicalismā€ after the suppression of the McCarthy period, said Desmond Fonseca, a PhD candidate in history at UCLA.  Fonseca noted that Malcolm, incensed at US subversion of the newly independent Congo, declared: ā€œYou can’t understand Mississippi if you don’t understand what’s going on in the Congo.ā€ Today, said Fonseca, Black Democrats, including the Congressional Black Caucus, have nothing to say about Africa.

Towards a ā€œDe-White Supremification of Amerikkkaā€

Lydia McCaskill, a masters and doctoral student a North Carolina Central University and activist firebrand in her hometown of Gastonia, proposes a process of ā€œde-white supremificationā€ in the US, similar to ā€œde-Nazificationā€ of Germany after World War Two. ā€œThe purpose would be ā€œto remove any, every and all things that represent or signify any type of white supremacy in Amerikka,ā€ said McCaskill, who has launched a ā€œStop Injustice in North Carolina Initiative.ā€

Black Agenda Radio on the Progressive Radio Network is hosted by Margaret Kimberley and Glen Ford. A new edition of the program airs every Monday at 11:am ET on PRN. Length: one hour.
