The Forces That Unite Us

Africa Is One Continent, One People, And One Nation. The Notion That In Order To Have A Nation It Is Necessary For There To Be A Common Language, A Common Territory And Common Culture Has Failed To Stand The Test Of Time Or The Scrutiny Of Scientific Definition Of Objective Reality... The Community Of Economic Life Is The Major Feature Within A Nation, And It Is The Economy Which Holds Together The People Living In A Territory. It Is On This Basis That The New Africans Recognise Themselves As Potentially One Nation, Whose Dominion Is The Entire African Continent.

Long Before Many Of Us Were Even Conscious Of Our Own Degradation, These Men [marcus Garvey And W. E. B. Dubois] Fought For African National And Racial Equality.

The Result Of Neo-colonialism Is That Foreign Capital Is Used For The Exploitation Rather Than For The Development Of The Less Developed Parts Of The World. Investment Under Neo-colonialism Increases Rather Than Decreases The Gap Between The Rich And Poor Countries Of The World.

The Total Liberation And Unification Of Africa Under An All-african Socialist Government Must Be The Primary Objective Of All Black Revolutionaries Throughout The World. It Is An Objective Which When Achieved, Will Bring About The Fulfillment Of The Aspirations Of Africans And People Of African Descent Everywhere. It Will At The Same Time Advance The Triumph Of The International Socialist Revolution.

We All Want A United Africa, United Not Only In Our Concept Of What Unity Connotes, But United In Our Common Desire To Move Forward Together In Dealing With All The Problems That Can Best Be Solved Only On A Continental Basis.
