On the Eve of the 2020 Nevada Debate.

We live in ironic times. We live in a time where Chris Matthews can hate socialism, but ignores that Albert Einstein and Dr. King praised democratic socialism. If Matthews and the corporate Democrats hate socialism so much, then they should publicly call for the elimination of the TVA, public libraries, Social Security, government funded roads, and the whole 9 nine yards. They won't do this, because they know they would look silly. The DNC changed its rules after candidates of color were gone to benefit a billionaire who supports the Iraq War, spied on Muslim people, presided over racist police policies, voted for Bush Jr's second term, has been accused of misogyny by multiple women, and has the support of many mayors. That's ironic. It's taboo to mention these things (like how the Republican and Democratic establishments are almost identical in supporting the military industrial complex, submitting to Wall Street, and advancing privatization of many resources), but it is the truth. We know what this is about.

Every day, I see commercials of this candidate. It is clear that DNC leadership wants Bernie and Warren out of the way in order for some moderate like Bloomberg or Biden to win. While this is going on, Trump executed horrendous environmental policies. Trump supports eliminating environmental regulations, and our world has record climate change. Then, Trump harms consumer protections, environmental protections (by pushing out scientists cutting the EPA budget, and hiring people with overt conflicts of interests), eliminates workplace safety protections, and harms civil rights. Therefore, he is not fit to be President. One thing that I will give Andrew Yang credit for is his advocacy for the universal basic income. Instead of some marginalizing progressive candidates under the guise of "electability," these same folks should be thankful that progressives are fighting for justice now.  The fact is that a 1 percent sales tax on Wall Street transactions can raise up to 300 billion dollars a year which can be used to fight student loan debt. These same folks should realize that moderates don't make real, structural changes in America. Only revolutionaries do like Malcolm X, Frederick Douglas, Harriet Tubman, and others. Trump is one of the worst, most racist Presidents in history. That hypocrite Joe Scarborough is right that many Bernie Bros. should not harass journalist or others, but he ignores how Chuck Todd quoted an article comparing Bernie supporters to the Brownshirts. Many (not all) in MSNBC have a vicious anti-Bernie bias. There are no excuses for us here. The only thing to do is to do what is right. Likewise, we are clear about what we want. We want a living wage, full universal health care for all, rights for workers, an end to police brutality, the repeal of the Taft Hartley Act, seniors having their retirement protected, investments in public infrastructure, and justice for all.

Netflix is promoting a documentary about who shot Malcolm X. This caused a possible new investigation about Malcolm X's assassination to come about. We welcome any new, independent investigation. The issue is that many documentaries sugarcoat the real life of our black leaders like Malcolm X. I don't know the components of this documentary, so I can't judge it either way. What I can do is to remind folks, who don't know, that Malcolm X was a revolutionary. It is important to find out who kill Malcolm X and why also. Malcolm X traveled overseas in Africa, Asia, Europe to promote Pan-Africanism (Malcolm X actually gave lectures in Africa, spoke with African leaders, and loved Africa). Malcolm X abhorred imperialism which is why he praised the anti-imperialist Patrice Lumumba. He wanted to unify black people worldwide in order to make America accountable for its crimes against black Americans. That is why the We Charge Genocide movement existed decades ago. Malcolm X publicly opposed the Vietnam War and capitalism in 1965. Malcolm X promoted women's rights, and he disagreed with Zionism in an interview before he died. Also, Malcolm X debated many people from his haters to others.

After his Hajj in 1964, Malcolm X further became involved in the international struggle of the oppressed winning the battle against the oppressor. To understand Malcolm X is to understand that we should focus on national issues, but that isn't enough. We have an international problem with racism and economic injustice. That is why Malcolm X said that the colonialism you see in the Congo is similar to what is taking place in the ghettos of America (i.e. you have the largest corporations on Earth financially benefiting from the pain, misery, and exploitation of the poor. Also, international racism is a reality). The CIA spied on him overseas, and the FBI plus the NYPD (via their BOSSI program) spied on him in America. It is not a secret that the FBI used COINTELPRO to harm revolutionary movements for social change. The State Department harassed Malcolm X.

His Organization for Afro-American Unity (OAAU) wanted black people, regardless of creed, to create solutions. The OAAU was used by Malcolm X to be part of the larger Pan-African community. Malcolm X, along with John Henrik Clarke, wrote the Organization of Afro-American Unity (OAAU) Basic Unity Program (which wanted African Americans to unify with Africans via communication). Therefore, we have to unite internationally in seeing justice made into a reality. J. Edgar Hoover wrote that the OAAU was a national security threat to America. The important question being why Malcolm X was assassinated ought to be analyzed. The why is that Malcolm X knew of the psychology of the wicked system (controlled by imperialists and those of the one percent) in general. He knew too much, and he wanted to do something about it in a wide, international scale. That is why Malcolm X wanted to unite us, who are black Americans, with black people around the world to end injustice. He was certainly a great hero among us.
