On the day of and in the week leading up to Jackson's elections, reactionary hysteria is being whipped up about candidate Chokwe Lumumba, a founding member of the revolutionary New Afrikan People's Organization (NAPO), who is running for mayor of Jackson as a part of the Jackson Kush Plan, a plan attempting to use a combination of mass movement of the people and radical left participation in elections to spark a Black liberation movement in the South of the United…Read More +

by Ed Thompson I listened to this audio presentation by Tithi Bhattacharya and I'd like to respond to some points.The overall thesis is that Maoist politics are defunct, and that they replace the emancipation of the working class by the working class itself with guerrilla units leading a guerrilla war.Ms. Bhattacharya assumes that “in a conflict between a guerrilla army and a fully functioning state, it is not a mystery who will win”.Is it? Guerrilla warfare has developed for hundreds…Read More +

by Nat Winn Thanks so much for your late intervention HiFi. It's really appreciated and at least we agree that the debate is an important one. I want to jump right into our differences to give readers a clear sense of where they lie (as your comments also do very well). Again on unity of Object and Subject HiFi states: Through conscious intention human beings objectify themselves socially. They create forms, which, in turn, becomes the condition for their existence.…Read More +

The fact is that this election is being conducted not for drafting of the new constitution. Instead the election is to goad the country towards party less system and also is being held or will be held at the cost of national sovereignty. That is why I would say that the entire process of the election is nothing more than a drama. This election will not be held. We will not allow it to happen. For months now, the coup…Read More +

Sanitation " the proper treatment and/or disposal of urine and excrement" could be considered "the most important medical milestone" in modern history according to the British Medical Journal. Yet for at least 2.5 billion people, more than a third of the world's people, this most basic human need is unmet. Most cases of diarrhea are caused by water and food contaminated by faeces, and this disease kills 1,800 children every day. "If 90 school buses filled with kindergardeners were to crash…Read More +

by Nat Winn Maoist dialectics assert that all that exists is contradiction. Where every thing that exists contains within it both unity and struggle, it is struggle that is the driving force of dialectics and that lays the basis for transformation. Dialectics is not a drive to some final unified process (the unity of subject and object for example). On Life Activity as essence of being humanI've thought a lot about a recent comment by Eve Mitchell where she says:Read More +

Last year, Fire on the Mountain called on the grayer heads to revisit the days when Ohio National Guardsmen shot dead four of us on Kent State campus. Here is my small piece of that much larger picture. By Mike Ely (Kasama Project) May 1970. Forty years have passed. It is history now in the eyes of the world. But for me, and many others, it is raw and alive. It always will be. I won’t tell the well known…Read More +

Today the Obama administration's FBI added black liberation fighter Assata Shakur to its list of "Most Wanted Terrorists." They doubled the million-dollar price on her head; and she becomes the first woman on the list. Fortunately Assata Shakur is living free in Cuba after being liberated from a federal penitentiary in 1979, but it's clear her life is in mortal danger. Labeling Shakur a "terrorist" is a declaration of war against all dissenters and revolutionaries, and sets her up for…Read More +

Kasama is a communist project for the forcible overthrow and transformation of all existing social conditions. We are open to learning, unafraid to admit our own uncertainties. We will not shrink from what we do know: the solutions cannot be found within the current world order or the choices it provides. We are for revolution. We seek to find the forms of organization and action for the people most dispossessed by this system to free themselves and all humanity.
To take this road, we need a fearless, open-eyed debate, discussion and engagement. We need fresh analyses of the rapid changes shaping the world around us. We need to sum up a century of revolutionary strategies and attempts, victories and defeats – instead of the conventional wisdom and facile verdicts that paralyze our movements. We need to re-imagine a radical politics that can take life among people and move mountains.
