Ahmed Shawki: Black liberation and socialism in the United States

The race relations industry has never been as powerful as it is today – the number of Black professionals, Black businesses, Black superstars and Black politicians never so numerous-but the vast majority of Blacks are still poverty stricken and many are the victims of brutal racist violence. The prosperity of the few hasn’t altered the oppression of the many.
Yet even among those who reject the idea that working within the system can end racism there are very real differences. Many Black militants hope that separatism and Black nationalism will prove more effective than attempts at reform. But, argues Ahmed Shawki of the American International Socialist Organisation, the record shows that Black nationalism is a flawed tradition. He looks at the fight for Black liberation from slavery to the present and defends the continued relevance of the Marxist tradition.
