Intercommunalism
& the Black Panther Party
“The logic of the thesis of intercommunalism is:
imperialism leads to ‘reactionary intercommunalism’
to ‘revolutionary intercommunalism’ to pure communism and anarchy.
Each of the concepts is in need of definition and redefinition.”
The Black Panther Party was the last and perhaps most significant,
domestically-based, left revolutionary political organization to challenge American imperialism.
At its height, the BPP encompassed 68 chapters in the United States,
it established an international branch in Algeria and trained with operatives in the Congo,
and it formed coalitions with political organizations in Zimbabwe, Mozambique, South Africa,
North and South Vietnam, North Korea, Japan, the People’s Republic of China, India, Uruguay, Peru,
Nicaragua, Cuba, Palestine, Iraq, Israel, Australia, and throughout Europe.
Ultimately, the Black Panther Party’s influence and power
provoked a frenzied effort by the U.S. federal government and law enforcement
to destroy its structure and either assassinate or imprison its members
—an effort that continues to the present day,
with dozens of former Panthers still incarcerated.

UBUNTU Philosophy
Ubuntu is an ethic or humanist philosophy
focusing on people's allegiances and relations with each other.
The word has its origin in the Bantu languages of southern Africa.
Ubuntu is seen as a classical African concept.
The Ubuntu operating system was named after this principle,
which is a free, grassroots and independent alternative to Windows
and other commercial operating systems
A person with Ubuntu is open and available to others,
affirming of others, does not feel threatened that others are able and good,
for they have a proper self-assurance that comes from knowing
that they belong in a greater whole
and are diminished when others are humiliated or diminished,
when others are tortured or oppressed
(this includes animals, insects & other sentient beings)
Archbishop Desmond Tutu further explained Ubuntu in 2008:
One of the sayings in our country is Ubuntu - the essence of being human.
Ubuntu speaks particularly about the fact that
you can't exist as a human being in isolation.
It speaks about our interconnectedness.
You can't be human all by yourself, and when you have this quality
- Ubuntu - you are known for your generosity.
We think of ourselves far too frequently as just individuals,
separated from one another,
whereas you are connected and what you do affects the whole world.
When you do well, it spreads out; it is for the whole of humanity.
Louw (1998) suggests that the concept of ubuntu defines the individual in their several relationships with others,
and stresses the importance of ubuntu as a spiritual concept.
He states that while the Zulu maxim umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu
("a person is a person through (other) persons")
may have no apparent religious connotations in the context of Western society,
in an African context it suggests that the person one is to become by behaving with humanity
is an ancestor worthy of respect or veneration.
Those who uphold the principle of ubuntu
throughout their lives will, in death, achieve a unity with those still living.
Nelson Mandela explained Ubuntu as follows:
A traveler through a country would stop at a village
and he didn't have to ask for food or for water.
Once he stops, the people give him food, entertain him.
That is one aspect of Ubuntu but it will have various aspects.
Ubuntu does not mean that people should not address themselves.
The question therefore is: Are you going to do so in order to enable the community around you to be able to improve?
