TRUTHS THAT WE STAND BY
All peoples of African descent, wherever they were born or
raised, are Africans and owe their primary allegiance to the future liberation of Africa.
The ultimate and permanent solution to the countless problems
facing the entire African World can only be found in Pan-Africanism: The total liberation
and unification of Africa under an All-African scientific socialist government.
The only scientific tools of analysis capable of providing a
scientific understanding of the world and how to change it are embodied in the philosophical
principles of dialectical and historical materialism.
The particular application of the universal principles of
dialectical and historical materialism to the crisis confronting the African World is
embodied in the ideology of Nkrumaism, which is merely the theoretical reflection of the
concrete struggles of the African masses for liberation. It takes its name from Osagyefo
Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, the foremost exponent of this scientific ideology for liberating Africa
and Africans everywhere.
International capitalism is the major evil confronting the
oppressed and exploited peoples of the earth, threatening the future existence of our
planet. It uses racism, sexism and class struggle to further its ends. Furthermore, it is
manifested in various imperialist forms: e.g., colonialism, settler colonialism, Zionism,
and neo-colonialism. Neo-colonialism is the dominant form of capitalist-imperialist
exploitation facing the oppressed and exploited masses of the world today, led by the United
States of America and maintained with the critical assistance of the indigenous bourgeoisie
around the world.
The exploitation, oppression and degradation of women based
on their gender is an evil that must be completely destroyed. Linked to class exploitation,
gender oppression and racism are two weapons used by capitalism, in all of its forms, to
achieve its objective of the exploitation of all labor. In our struggle for total
liberation, we will crush class exploitation and race and gender oppression and promote the
growth and development of women as essential to that liberation.
It is absolutely imperative that the exploited and oppressed
masses of Africans throughout the world GET ORGANIZED in order to coordinate and unify our
common struggle for liberation. Hence, it is necessary to build Pan-African revolutionary
socialist parties throughout the African World.
The African Revolution is not an isolated struggle, but
instead is an integral part of the international struggle against world capitalism
(and all of its racist and imperialist forms) and for scientific socialism leading to
world communism. Consequently, African revolutionaries must establish principled alliances
with other oppressed peoples throughout the world.
