What is Pan African Communist Nkrumahism-Toureism?:

Nkrumahism-Toureism takes its name from the consistent, revolutionary, scientific socialist and Pan-African principles, practices and policies followed, implemented and taught by Kwame Nkrumah, Ahmed Sekou Toure and Kwame Ture; three of the foremost exponents and practitioners of the scientific strategy to liberate and unify Africa, and all African People in every corner of the World, under scientific socialism. These principles, practices and policies are recorded in their speeches, writings, actions, contributions, achievements and lives. They must be read, studied, analyzed, and implemented.

In a larger and more complete sense, Nkrumahism-Toureism is a product of Africa’s history and culture, the result of the accumulated practical and theoretical contributions and achievements of centuries and generations of mass, revolutionary Pan-African and larger socialist struggles. Nkrumahism-Toureism is a way of life! It directs it adherents to place the need of the People over money and material wealth and establishes revolutionary ethics and morality for how we engage each other and fight the enemy in the African Revolution. It highlights and underscores the need for the absolute emancipation of African women as African women have suffered triple oppression, politically, economically, and by cis men imbued by and with the sexist patriarchal ideology of capitalism. As well as the liberation & autonomy of children as an oppressed class & the liberation of LGBTQIA+ by becoming completely dedicated to the armed struggle & the complete dismantlement of white settler cis het patriarchal capitalism & all forms of oppression globally.

Nkrumahism-Toureism is grounded in the science of Revolutionary mass struggle, as it is applied to Africa, to the almost 1 billion people of African descent who are scattered, suffering and struggling in every corner of the World. It philosophically and ideologically defines, incorporates, and synthesizes three distinct historical experiences that have impacted and define Africa and Her Children worldwide: Traditional Africa, Euro-Christian Africa and Islamic Africa. Nkrumahism-Toureism’s concrete living example is to be found in the creative struggle, contributions and achievements of African Revolutionaries to the African and International Revolutions.

Nkrumahism-Toureism provides the Masses of African People with a set of uncompromising principles, a scientific, revolutionary, and Pan-African method of viewing Africa and the World; and a scientific methodology and set of analytical tools, which enable African People to correctly interpret, understand, redeem and reconstruct Africa, and make their revolutionary contribution to the redemption and reconstruction of the Oppressed World.


Nkrumahism-Toureism provides a complete social, cultural, political, philosophical and economic theory that constitute a comprehensive network of Pan-Africanist scientific socialist principles, beliefs, values, ethics, morals and rules, which guide our behavior, determine the form which our institutions and organizations, laws and rules will take; and acts as a cohesive force to bind us together, inspire us, guide and channel our revolutionary mass political action towards the achievement of Pan-Africanism and the inevitable triumph of scientific socialism.

Podcast reading w/ free PDF📚: My People Shall Be Free~An Autobiography of A Revolutionary by Leila Khaled

My People Shall Live~An Autobiography of A Revolutionary:

A profound journey into the heart of Palestinian resistance, through the words of an icon who has lived it. In this distinguished episode of *Echoes of Revolution*, we delve into the autobiography “My People Shall Live~An Autobiography of A Revolutionary” by Leila Khaled, a name synonymous with resilience, defiance, and the relentless quest for freedom.

Picture of Palestinian Revolutionary Leila KhaledALT

Leila Khaled’s narrative is not just a personal recounting; it’s a mosaic of struggle, hope, and the unyielding spirit of a people yearning for their rightful place in the world. Her story, penned with raw honesty and unwavering conviction, brings to light the intricacies of the Palestinian struggle for liberation, seen through the eyes of a woman who became an emblem of revolutionary fervor.

As we navigate through the chapters, our podcast aims to encapsulate the essence of Khaled’s journey—from her early years in a Palestine under the shadow of displacement to her evolution into a key figure in the global struggle against oppression. Her acts of defiance, notably as the first woman to hijack an airplane, are not merely recounted as historical events but analyzed for their symbolic significance in the broader narrative of resistance.

Podcast reading w/ free PDF 📚: The Color of Law~A Forgotten History of How the Government Segregated america By Richard Rothstein

The Color of Law~A Forgotten History of How Our Government:

Segregated America by Richard Rothstein Summary of book: In The Color of Law, historian Richard Rothstein notes that every single American city is segregated on racial lines and argues that this segregation is de jure rather than de facto: it is the deliberate product of “systemic and forceful” government action, and so the government has a “constitutional as well as a moral obligation” to remedy it.

Book cover of book called Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How the Government Segregated americaALT

Planned and implemented by all levels of American government, residential racial segregation impoverishes and disempowers African Americans by confining them to ghettos and blocking them out of homeownership. And this segregation continues well into the 21st century. Since residential segregation pertains to where and how people live their lives, the issue is harder to undo than injustices like the deprivation of voting rights, public services, and equal legal protection to African Americans. To make matters worse, governments, financial institutions, and the real estate industry continue to actively segregate American cities, to African Americans’ disadvantage.

“In Chapter One, Rothstein illustrates the problem of de jure segregation with the representative story of Frank Stevenson, an African American man living in Richmond, California in the mid-20th century. A former manufacturing town, Richmond grew rapidly during World War II. To keep up with demand, the government built public housing—for white people, it built a comfortable suburb called Rollingwood, but black working families were crowded into “poorly constructed” apartments in industrial neighborhoods, or even left to live on the street. Stevenson worked at a Ford Motor factory, which was soon relocated an hour away to Milpitas after the war. Stevenson was out of luck, because it was impossible for black people to live in Milpitas: Federal Housing Administration (FHA) funds were only allocated to all-white neighborhoods, so while housing options multiplied for white people in places like Milpitas, nobody built housing for African Americans. African Americans were thus confined to certain neighborhoods, and those neighborhoods consequently became entirely African American over time. The government subsequently withdrew services from those black neighborhoods, turning them into the “slum[s]” that they remain today.”

as we discuss the circumstances that can lead to acts of protest such as self-immolation, let us not forget that many gazans (such as ehab abu nada and fathi harb) in years past have also self immolated in protest of the israeli blockade on gaza. this has also been a form of protest among palestinians in the occupied west bank as well.
