The Modern Slave Plantation

*Note: Please watch the short video (2:56)  first before reading my commentary. My editorial evaluates the story presented in this press release from an Afrikan Centered Biological Nationalist (ACBN) perspective.

What’s going on here? Most people at first glance will say this is technological development. They will say this is Afrika coming into the 21st century. They will say this is opportunity. Opportunities for JOBS. They might also say any criticisms by any Pan-Afrikanist, Black Nationalist, or Afrikan Centered Biological Nationalist (ACBN) is misplaced and because these ideologies haven’t built anything and can’t offer the Afrikans in the video jobs, and that we should just shut up. However, naysayers to this type of criticism would not recognize that what is depicted in this video press release is simply a modern day slave plantation.

Nevertheless, many people would not see that this is a slave plantation, but it is. It is a slave plantation in this way. Who is the management/owner class? They are not only non-Afrikans, but they are so-called white men…from europe. What’s happening in europe right now? Their economy is failing. What’s happening in united states right now? Their economy is failing. The market for establishing online retail “one-stop shop” websites like Amazon is saturated in the usa and europe. So all of these white kids who graduated with their IT degree, who were also trained to be entrepreneurs and seek power are descending onto the Afrikan continent to then start companies. (At the same time mind you that Afrikans are risking life and limb to go to europe) The news story purports that these whites are ostensibly going to “help” build an Afrikan middle class or offer opportunities that we nationalists can’t do because we allegedly “just talk”.

However, this criticism against ACBN and other “Black Power” ideologies misses an essential point which is that this endeavor will change the social character of Afrikan societies towards one which is more beneficial for non-Afrikans to prosper. They will use the technology as a mirage to beguile the people, while at the same time, the market that exists right now (and the social relations that stem from that) will be surreptitiously dismantled and destroyed. Additionally, another outcome will be to get the loyalties of the Afrikans focused on the europeans even more than it is right now. Once the europeans establish themselves as the major industry players, Afrikans will not be able to secure power for ourselves. This is why ideology and consciousness is so important BEFORE embarking upon a socioeconomic enterprise. Because if you only limit your analysis to whether or not one has a job and the creation of an Afrikan middle class, you’ll miss the big picture. The big picture entails who the OWNERS and MANAGERS will be. It entails who will be the DIRECTORS and the SOCIAL ENGINEERS of the growth of society and the system of social relations that derive from that process. It entails how will everyone’s attitudes, values, and desires be orientated. In the situation in the video, they will obviously be oriented towards the people that give them jobs.

Yet another outcome from this will be the fact that as other sectors of society start to erode and family relations breakdown, this so-called Afrikan middle class will be protecting the white colonial class against the masses because everyone can’t sit in front of a computer and be technological support staff, programmer, or designer. However, status in society will be based upon who has the wherewithal to purchase items from this website. Invariably affording a higher status to the Afrikans who do the best job at making white people rich. So they are starting with the young students in university who are being taught and socialized to believe that any development is OK and that it doesn’t matter how it’s done or who does it.

Now with regard to the infrastructure that they mentioned in the video. That will take a large amount of capital expenditure by companies who have the capacity and knowledge to put in fiber optic networks and increase and extend the network communications capability. It will require construction workers who can pave the roads so you can build the physical ability to deliver the goods the website purports to want to sell. They are going to need construction workers to build warehouses and that’s going to take materials such as concrete and steel. Furthermore they will need architects to plan this, so this is a widespread project that he is calling for, so the question remains, who will be investing? Who will be providing the financial capital to do this? Do you think the Nigerian central bank will be doing this? Companies that are in the financial services business make their money by providing debt, which means giving out loans and taking in the interest payments as profits. So if the central bank of Nigeria has not yet made available funds for capital expenditure and infrastructure building then there is no way on earth that the capital that is necessary to build this infrastructure, which this white man is talking about in this video, will be provided by the Nigerians. It will be provided by foreign nationals or foreign central/private banks most likely from europe or the united states.

So this is a creeping crisis. What most Afrikans will say (because they don’t have an ACBN ideology, which is an ideology that helps secure Afrikans’ very survival) is, “Oh, isn’t this great, there is finally development coming to Nigeria! They all have jobs now”, and they will fail to do any critical analysis. In fact, this company was owned by a group of Afrikan men recently and they mysteriously sold it after experiencing exponential growth in their market share (the percentage of their presence in the online retail market). So I suspected at the time that some kind of other organized mafia came in a said, “Nope, you’re not going to own this market, you are not going to control this market.” So after a little investigation I found out that the buyers were financed by J.P. Morgan Chase, and anybody who knows the history of J.P Morgan knows that he was little more than a thug in a three-piece suit. So the investment bank which bears his name probably made the Afrikan men an offer they couldn’t refuse.

So this is another problem of consciousness and ideology. Afrikans globally have collectively failed to understand that economics is essentially about market control. Markets are controlled through the military. The usa can enforce its dollar hegemony on the globe because it ensures the transport of commodities to particular markets that it owns and controls. If you use your military to control the waterways, flight routes, and thoroughfares through which goods can be extracted and taken to other manufacturing plants and have value added to them by industrial processes, and then taken to a market and sold, then you have POWER. It doesn’t matter if you have a job or not in that system. Whichever GROUP can control and secure the transport of goods to a market that it controls is the one in POWER. So in this system, a system of genocide not only on Afrikans, but on the natural world, the management class of that system, especially if they set-up shop in a foreign country can logically be nothing but criminals and mercenaries. In my view this is the proper analysis to come to when looking at a video like this. So this is an essay to teach how to analyze what is happening in the world and particularly to Afrikans through an ACBN perspective so one can see the practicality of the ideology. People will look at a video like this and say, “Yes! This is a good thing!”, but when you look deeper, this is the start of the systematic genocide on the continent. How did the europeans first go to north america and everywhere around the world? They established a colony, which was an economic enterprise complete with a charter and mission statement with the INTENT to take over the market (the entire land mass) and to systematically remove any hindrance or barrier from their total market dominance which includes people, and which will include Afrikans on the continent itself if we are not careful.
