Second-Phase - NATIONAL UNITY FOR SELF GOVERNMENT
Within the development of the first phase, lies the seed of the second phase, the phase whereby national unity has been attained for the ideals of the independence movement. It then becomes possible to challenge the colonial government with a single national program to concretize our immediate demands as expressed during the first phase in terms of civil and human rights. The concrete social and political struggle of New Afrikan peoples' fight for self-determination is characterized in economic and political terms of self-government.
Hence, it can be established that the first phase is one in which the revolutionary nationalist forces fight to win the oppressed New Afrikan masses to support Black community control in the independence movement. The programs and struggle for civil and human rights are tactical initiatives to build and sustain the movement on the socioeconomic level, while ideological and politically the class struggle evolves political class consciousness on a national level to the ideals of separation and self-government.
Thereby, the New Afrikan Nation has become educated and
organized into a national liberation front, an united -front in national unity, and in the second phase, they are mobilized for self-determination and self-government. Our national unity is decisive, it is our strength and foundation for the future, and our fight for self-government is prerequisite to total and complete independence. Encompassing this theory for emancipation, is the objective and concrete realities of the fight for civil and human rights as expressed in the first phase. It is manifested, the fertilization of the seed for independence as planted in the first phase - class struggle for national unity - is then cultivated in the second phase - national unity for self-government - and will be harvested in the last phase.
The political programs of Frolinan in national unity for self government is to concretize the struggle for independence. To demand control of the socioeconomic and political institutions in the ghettos/barrios of the urban and rural areas where New Afrikan people comprise the majority, independent of the federal colonial (U.S.A.) government control. To strengthen and intensify the political struggle between the nationally oppressed and the national oppressor; and socioeconomically consolidate the prospects for national independence, is the basic condition by which the movement will evolve qualitatively in both the national and international political arena. This leads to the principle contradiction of two antagonistic contending political forces and national wills. Whereby the demand and struggle for complete control of institutions, resources and the wealth of the oppressed nation will be the character of the second phase. It then becomes essential at this phase to call for the assistance of Frolinan international supporters, to support and assist in the socioeconomic and political objectives in building New Afrikan communities independent of the colonial government. But at the same time, it will be incumbent of the colonial (U.S.A.) government to preserve a practical relationship with the New Afrikan Nation, a relationship of economic and political co-existence and interdependence. Hence, the dialectics of unity and struggle of opposites in the principle contradiction, between two contending forces and nationals.
Thus, this second phase as a prerequisite to national independence is one in which the New Afrikan Nation begins to formulate the means and method of self -government in the geographical areas where New Afrikans constitute the majority; to control and direct the resources, labor, institutions and wealth which determines the extent of their livelihood. The demands of civil and human rights as applicable to these social, political, and economic conditions, will serve to preserve the growth and development of the liberation movement, as New Afrikans become self-determinative in manifesting their future on all fronts. The federal colonial government will be called upon to relinquish taxation on New Afrikans, so that this tax money will be redistributed in accordance to the needs of the New Afrikan Nation communities, and for the establishment of the New Afrikan sovereignty: it will also be called for the building of the New Afrikan security force/military; for the construction of New Afrikan industries in the national territory of Kush, building a national economic system to support the autonomous regions (New Afrikan communities) across the country and developing economic ties internationally; to demand the release of New Afrikan prisoners to support the building of the New Afrikan Nation in both the rural and urban areas; to organize a national plebiscite and vote for independence, to be monitored by the United Nations and the organization of Afrikan Unity; to demand reparations for slave labor of over 400 years and damages for colonial exploitation and domination at a cost of $500 million at 6% semi-annual interest, since 1865 to the present. These and other aspects of Frolinan's national political program will become the predominate objective to raise in confrontation with the colonial government in national unity for self-government.
In this way, the New Afrikan people will consolidate their national aspirations to be independent of racist national oppression and capitalist-imperialist exploitation. While the first phase is to win the minds of Now Afrikan people in national unity -to the concept of Black community control, and an end to class divisions and neo-colonialism; the second phase is to mobilize the body of Now Afrikans to become self -determinative, self-governed, and bring an end to colonial domination toward the ultimate goal of national independence.
Third Phase - SELF-GOVERNMENT FOR NATIONAL INDEPENDENCE:
Where the first two phases were for building the movement and consolidating it - where New Afrikan people comprise the majority geographically - establishing a national political consciousness, socioeconomic and cultural development for national independence. The third phase, golf-Government for National independence, is to fight for the national territory of Kush, to win the war and free the land.
It can be easily determined based on this proposition, the third phase depends much on the success of the first two phases. Once Frolinan has established a revolutionary nationalist social consciousness amongst the oppressed masses to want and fight for control of the Black community, and further consolidate this social and political consciousness toward self-government; the prospects of substantiating the ultimate goal of national independence becomes more realistic and plausible in the overall scheme of this undertaking. Each step is a tactical initiative within a national strategy, each tactical initiative being strategically developed to formulate the necessary socioeconomic, political and cultural ingredients into a national program in which the various segments of the independence movement can fulfill.
The third phase, is the final stage - to mobilize the entire nation to free the land - employing all the resources available to the movement in challenging the colonial government for complete independence. To recover the territory the oppressed nation once occupied and controlled by its labor and ownership of land, granted by the government when it first freed New Afrikans from chattel slavery in 1863. This is the phase in which the national
aspirations of New Afrikans, as determined through the course of the struggle, will be called to task to wrestle the national territory from the colonial government. The mobilization of New Afrikans will be in national demonstrations, and strangling the economic development of the colonial government, as well as intensifying the guerrilla war in both urban and rural areas, gaining international support on the specific objectives of national independence.
This is a time when the call will be made for mass migration to Kush and where economic, social, political development will concentrate in the national territory. The transferring of economic, political resources and finances from out of the autonomous regions to the national territory will create a social, economic and political upheaval for the colonial government, greater than the struggles created in the first two phases. it will cause a major shift in the relationship of the autonomous regions with the colonial government in each area, diffusing and disrupting what may have been tentatively secured economic and political areas of co-existence between the colonial government and New Afrikan communities (or Provisional Government of the Republic of New Afrika and Frolinan).
Of course, this fight Kush cannot be fully developed until the course of the struggle 'for self-government has evolved the mechanisms and institutions for governmental organization of
national magnitude with international recognition: providing the essential tasks of a government in all socioeconomic and political fronts, such as in agriculture, industries (for food and employment), for national security, etc. It cannot be expected of New Afrikans to sacrifice beyond the exercise and expectations of a government to provide stable livelihood for its nationals. Hence, the reasons for the first two phases, in which'New Afrikans will be organized in national unity and self-government, utilizing the skills and resources within the oppressed nation, establishing a national social consciousness and political determination for the inevitable fight to free the land. Thereby, the first two phases, lines-up the social, economic and political aspects of the struggle in a strategic position to challenge the colonial government weaknesses. In so doing, Frolinan will establish the criteria by which the sacrifices for the fight for national independence will be minimized. To maximize the prospects of securing a liberated New Afrikan government in the national territory, having the government of New Afrika function with as much efficiency possible arising out of the national liberation struggle.
Thus, self-government for national independence, the third phase of this theory -strategically - is the phase in which all others work to accomplish. The point in the national liberation struggle where New Afrikans are in a position of strength beyond the capacity of the colonial government to destroy the independence movement. The seed of independence planted in the first phase and cultivated in the second phase, will have blossomed in the third phase, the phase in which national independence will become an accomplished reality.
In conclusion, this theoretical proposition determines the need of the national liberation struggle, by first recognizing and organizing the New Afrikan Nation on the ideal of national independence, by having our talented, skilled and educated return to the Black communities; for them to live, work and build the political and social movement in the Black community under the guiding principles of class struggle for national unity; and further develop a political and socioeconomic foundation toward self-sufficiency and self-reliance amongst New Afrikan people on the principle of national unity for self-government.
This course of struggle will assure the independence movement will not become subjugated to the class struggle of Euro-Americans. Frolinan will not hold the class and national struggle of New Afrikans in abeyance or subject to the class struggle of EuroAmericans. Frolinan maintain the New Afrikan Independence Movement is independent of and held in juxtaposition to the class struggle of Euro-Americans. Thereby, the fulfillment of this proposition does not negate a relationship with the class struggle of EuroAmericans, but rather base such a relationship on the political determination of the New Afrikan Independence Movement and not in reverse. Furthermore, Frolinan holds that building the national liberation struggle is to free New Afrikane sociopsychologically, socioeconomically, politically and culturally from neo-colonialism as a particular aspect of the principle struggle to end colonial domination. The course of the struggle, self-government for national independence is to free the land - the national territory of Kush.
This theoretical proposition is not all encompassing addressing the current direction and sectarian condition of the national liberation struggle as it exists at this time. What is elucidated herein, is the position of Frolinan to provide a motivating factor in which to play down sectarianism and heighten the prospect of united action amongst the many revolutionary nationalist organizations across the country. Such united actions that will embrace the New Afrikan Nation in national unity toward the objective goal of self-government as prerequisite to national independence. Therefore, it is Frolinan's position,- this theoretical proposition attaches to the national liberation movement a concept for the development of a national strategy. A national strategy which all authentic revolutionary nationalist organizations must embrace and fulfill under the auspices of Frolinan in unity and struggle. It is this concept for the development of a national liberation strategy which will build, strengthen and fortify the national liberation struggle. Based on the revolutionary principle that without a revolutionary theory there can be no revolutionary movement. Here rests the theoretical proposition to build and sustain a revolutionary movement - the New Afrikan Independence Movement.
--------------------------------
NATIONAL-STRATEGY BASIC AIM AND OBJECTIVES
PROGRAM FOR DECOLONIZATION
The national strategy basic aim and objectives are to establish a Program for Decolonization that encompass the strategic and tactical goals of the New Afrikan Independence Movement. It is within- the development of a Program for Decolonization that national liberation will be accomplished. The Program for Decolonization must afford a tactical initiative attacking the social, political, economic and cultural manifestation of disenfranchisement New Afrikans suffers as a neo-colony; and seek the means to rid New Afrikans of this condition of oppression strategically leading to national independence.
The Program of Decolonization is a program for national liberation and a strategy in the independence movement to be fulfilled tactically by the various members of Frolinan, and New Afrikan revolutionary nationalists across the country.
We therefore call for the establishment of several national organizations to be constructed under the auspices of Frolinan:
National Union of New Afrikan Workers:
The National Union of New Afrikan Workers (NUNAW) is a national network of New Afrikan political activists in urban and rural areas, who function on the organizing principle of Frolinan in the work place (industries, companies, manufacturers, office workers, etc.). Their primary goal and objective is to raise the political consciousness of New Afrikan Workers of the socioeconomic condition inherent in the system of monopoly-capitalism. In so doing, to organize New Afrikan workers into labor federations who will call for the implementation of Frolinan's Program for Decolonization at the work place.
It will be the responsibility of NUNAW to address the problems of affirmative action in the work place, to call for owners of the means of production to relinquish profits for the development of New Afrikan communities, and have them not engage -in economic ventures in South Afrika and other reactionary Afrikan countries. To further establish a national body of workers in an union formation to fortify the political thrust of the independence movement in the economic sphere. On the rural front, NUNAW will be responsible to organize agrarian collectives, co-ops, and the establishment of rural industries.
Eventually, it will be the responsibility of NUNAW to develop a national economic system as. a foundation for the liberated national territory of Kush and the establishment of the New Afrikan Nation. Hence, NUNAW is the backbone of the independence movement in building and strengthening the class struggle for national unity, by organizing the Black proletariat under the auspices of Frolinan's Program for Decolonization.
Furthermore, because of the role NUNAW will play in support of New Afrikan workers, it has the potential to become the most powerful sector within the New Afrikan communities across the country. As New Afrikans are victims of inequality in the economic system of monopoly- capitalism, they have often organized separately on the job to advance their interests and protect their rights. New Afrikan workers in general,. and those who are employed by multi-national corporations in particular, should be organized around demands that more jobs be made available to our People by cutting back in the use of cheap labor abroad. New Afrikan workers should be organized against state and federal government sanctions allowing multi-national corporations to hire foreign workers aboard at less than the national minimum wage required by state and federal law in the U.S. There should be a minimum wage hiring act that applies to all U.S. owned business and corporations and that applies to all employees on their payroll regardless of territory.
These aims can be furthered through the following demands:
1. Call for rank and file democratic control of the unions currently in existence and for the elimination of all racial practices in the labor movement. Equal rights for all New Afrikan workers.
2. Call for preferential hiring and advancement of New Afrikan workers and free access to apprentice training programs, the skilled trades and higher paying supervisory posts in affirmative action.
3. Call for an escalator clause in all union contracts to assure automatic wage adjustment to keep up with the rising cost of living (inflation/recession).
4. Call for a shorter work week at standard living wages allowing the means for unemployed to gain employment preserving the need of productivity.
5. Call for speedier grievance procedures and safety inspection
with no restrictions on the right to strike.
6. Call for the complete independence of unions from government
interference. Repeal of all anti-labor laws. End prisoners
slavery and uphold their right to unionize.
7. Call for the establishment of a national import quota on products made by foreign corporations outside the U.S. territory, a balance in import/export trade.
8. Call for workers control of industry through factory committees elected by the workers on the job.
9. Call for big business taxes subsidize New Afrikan community projects, ie., health clinic, child day care centers, drug rehabilitation programs, prisoners parole training programs, senior citizen care programs, etc.
10. For multi-national corporations in conjunction with the U.S. government to give reparations to the New Afrikan Nation by subsidizing industrial construction and agricultural development in the New Afrikan Nation.
These democratic demands within the Program for Decolonization builds the foundation in which Frolinan political activists can organize New Afrikan workers in NUNAW, and have NUNAW become a motivating factor in building the class struggle for national unity in the independence movement.
National Alliance of Now Afrikan Students:
The National Alliance of New Afrikan Students (NANAS) is a national network of New Afrikan student groups and activists functioning under the auspices of Frolinan's Program for Decolonization. It will be the responsibility of NANAS to formulate a national direction on school campuses across the country, to support the development of the New Afrikan Independence Movement. To have New Afrikan history programs established, taught and maintained by professionals who are in support of the independence movement. To also have New Afrikan students to become more aware of their responsibility in the independence movement, by organizing tutoring courses in high school and building liberation schools in the ghetto/barrio. It is important that New Afrikan students know they are the future of the independence movement and essentially are the principle leaders of the movement. With this
understanding, they will be able to apply themselves in education and in other extracurricular activity to the well being of the movement and the security of the Nation. Students must recognize that their education is not solely for individual gain and pleasure, but rather, for the building of minds to serve the movement and the Nation. They must become politically aware of their relationship to the Nation, and it is the responsibility of NANAS to assure New Afrikan students are organized in support of Frolinan's Program for Decolonization. This program dealing in the area of education will allow NANAS to become the motivating factor in assuring its development and success. The following are NANAS
program:
1. Election of community control boards to supervise schools in
the New Afrikan community.
2. Establish an educational system and curriculum which meets the needs of New Afrikan children, prepares them for the future in economic and technical skills, and technical security of the New Afrikan Nation. And gives them a knowledge of themselves and an understanding of the true history and culture of Afrikan people.
3. To involve parents in every phase of school life as part of the development of community involvement in the political life of the independence movement.
4. Under the direction of Frolinan to support a program to train Black academicians, historians (so-called) intellectuals, and administrators in the principle and policy of class and national liberation struggle, and the objective of community control of the education system.
5. To support Frolinan's position that community groups should be entitled to use school facilities to promote activities for the benefit of the community and the independence movement.
6. In support of Frolinan's direction, to call for the dismissal of all school officials who victimize or insult students on racial grounds, or are found to be directly in cahoots with the colonial government efforts to suppress Frolinan's education Program for Decolonization.
7. Support the establishment of community liberation schools to introduce special tutoring programs for all students who have fallen behind in their studies; to offer a full program of adult education; and teach the political motives and direction of the New Afrikan Independence Movement, the prospect of a national social democratic society.
For High School Students:
1. Establishing student policy-making boards to run student activities in the high schools, handle disciplinary problems and participate in the general supervision of the schools.
2. To hold regular school assemblies to discuss school-problems and ascertain the will of the student body in conjunction with the independence movement.
3. Maintain the rights of all students and teachers. These include the freedom of expression, freedom to organize, to pass out literature, freedom from censorship of school newspaper, freedom of assembly and the right to invite outside speakers regardless of their political views.
4. End disciplinary expulsions and suspensions, if their is a problem with a particular student, it must be brought to the policy making board, for them to deal with the problem - without having the student lose in education.
5. Special tutoring for all students who fall behind in their studies, and for the development of a study program teaching New Afrikan history and the real nature of monopoly-capitalism, colonialism, and imperialism. To further upgrade job training programs and adequate preparation for all students to attend college.
In this aspect of the Program for Decolonization, NANAS will
be able to organize students on both the high school and college
levels, working in conjunction with one another in support of
Frolinan's political program. In this way, the political
development of the independence movement becomes a total part of
the education process of students, each working for the benefit of
the other for as long as New Afrikan students must attend schools controlled by the colonial government. The primary objective is to control the schools in the ghetto/barrios and within the development of the class struggle for national unity, to have New Afrikan educators become responsible to the needs and development of the independence movement. It is in the process of freeing our minds of cultural imperialism that our oppressed nation will be able to free ourselves from national oppression and colonial domination.
The building of NANAS will be the forging of a youth movement on school campuses under the auspices of Frolinan. This youth movement will have a practical program to develop directly in relation to education and the political development of Frolinan. Hence, NANAS is the spirit of the independence movement, New Afrikan youth organized in a national network of groups and activists to establish Frolinan's Program for Decolonization in the heart of the New Afrikan community, strengthening the foundation of the New Afrikan Nation.
