@high_define @one234and5 @bmaretheprize @Jasonterrysysbm The 10 commandments of Productive Black Men, these in my opinion should be the values we center the idea of the brotherhood of productive Black men around. Feel free to comment or tag other PBMs.

@BandicootTrash_ @TaniaSaidWhat Paying off government officials is a practice far older than capitalism, and is not dependent on an economic system for it to happen.

@UmmmmNo8 @TaniaSaidWhat What other economic system promotes incumbency and allows private individuals to buy up government and media etc?

Capitalism’s structural flaw is that once capital reaches a certain scale, it can purchase politics, government, regulations, competitors, and media, creating a self-reinforcing cycle that compounds wealth for the ones on the top. The system that claims to reward merit increasingly rewards incumbency. That’s not a bug that can be patched with regulations, because we see that our entire political system is a cesspool of lobbyists advancing corporate interests by paying the politicians to take positions favorable for them. Furthermore, capitalism’s end result is- the deployment of the nation’s military on its behest. Which is where we are at now. So it’s not about selling $10 tshirts, it’s if you acquire so much wealth, that you ban others from making that shirt, and you can pay the child laborer in Indonesia even less, and if they revolt, you send your military. That has been the logical endpoint of allowing unlimited capital accumulation to operate inside democratic institutions that are, by design, purchasable. Whether it is Chiquita bananas (also known as united fruit company), Dole pineapples, production of rubber by exploitation of Congolese- for ABIR (Anglo-Belgian India Rubber Company, JP MORGAN CHASE- owning 15k slaves as collateral, Tiffany & co- by exploiting slaves picking cotton- it’s all of it.

What I said. The tariffs and visa restrictions we put on certain companies in response to them doing trade with an adversary are our business, the world is not owed access to US markets. And if access to US capitalist dominated markets are required for economic success that says a lot more about its superiority to socialism anyway.

@UmmmmNo8 @meetmebythelak @DontHateTrav what you mean?

Niggas hating capitalism is one of the worst concepts niggas ever adopted.

@noahalyx @meetmebythelak @DontHateTrav We are not obligated to do business with foreign companies either.

@UmmmmNo8 @meetmebythelak @DontHateTrav its not just america genius, America actively penalizes foreign companies that do business in Cuba by preventing them from doing business in the U.S.

@noahalyx @meetmebythelak @DontHateTrav America is not obligated to trade with any country. Cuba has had decades to make trade deals with other nations and ensure it's own prosperity. It has failed, and it's economic system is mainly behind that.

@meetmebythelak @DontHateTrav Cuba was an aspiring socialist nation that got fucked over by America’s embargos and sanctions on the country, they do that shit on purpose so people dont think socialism is viable. Do your research

Mao slaughtered and starved his way to power, and political consolidation. No one questions that. Deng Xiaoping and his cadres quietly back benched the economically disastrous Maoism for major capitalist reforms, causing Chinas explosive economic growth and what we see today. China today practices state capitalism but is politically communist authoritarian. The commies can't admit this because lying about their failed economic ideas is what they do best, besides killing people and stealing their stuff.

@SavvyThaGreat @UmmmmNo8 @HotepDoobs Yea they didn’t, WW1 and WW2 do the work for them. Mao “unified” th country through fear but Xiaoping made the appropriate trade engagements in late 1970s to open up to the world

Imagine listening to Mao Zedong or Lenin over Booker T. Washington or Frederick Douglass, and calling yourself “Pro-Black”. Y’all first mistake was trusting this fuck ass haircut.

@SavvyThaGreat @HotepDoobs The US didnt have to slaughter millions if political dissidents to secure its power or starve tens of millions of its own people in under 5 years under a failed economic model his own cadres quietly retired after he died.

@UmmmmNo8 @HotepDoobs Mao was setting the stage for his nation to become the means of production for the globe. You niggas don’t understand what becoming a global superpower means or takes cause your ass never seen true power thru self determination.

@SavvyThaGreat @HotepDoobs He didn't he slaughtered and starved to death 50 million people in under 5 years, and they were still poor as shit at the end of it.

@HotepDoobs Well Mao pulled his whole nation out of dirt poverty in a human lifetime so idk maybe you could learn something.

@MG_Audits No matter the era someone is always telling Black Americans why we shouldn't participate in the very economic system that has made hundreds of millions wealthy, and has made this country the richest most powerful in world history. No we alone must reject this.

People don’t get how deeply, inherently racist it is to tell Black Americans that they should not participate in the economy as it exists. Then when newcomers get that capitalism starter kit, they call it humanitarianism. You can’t have it both ways.

@asheredwards_ @ariana_cecillia @HotepDoobs True, that's why I ask them what economic system they'd prefer the country or Black people follow, and how it'd work. It's more productive that way.

@UmmmmNo8 @ariana_cecillia @HotepDoobs after a while I noticed she was intentionally missing the point, if she concedes it collapses her entire imaginary nonsensical definition and framework she built up in her head lol

Yes, the fact that Black American live and breathe right now is almost exclusively because of their practice of Capitalism. Had Black Americans been communists in 1865, we would’ve gone extinct. Not hyperbole.

- Be proud to be American - Embrace our ethnic identity over our racial one (specifically talking about Black Americans. - Value nuclear family - Value intentionally reproducing, family building, and keeping said family together. - Being anti-immigration, or at least anti illegal immigration.

What Black folks can’t do: - Participate in the economy - Support any party other than Dems - Hold a government job - Be against slave traders - Self identify logically Did I miss anything?

She doesn't seem to realize she's not refuting capitalism she's refuting the idea that a government should be able to arbitrarily discriminate, attack, rob or oppress it's citizenry, and I'd agree it shouldn't be able to do these things legally, but that has nothing to do with capitalism.

@ariana_cecillia @HotepDoobs Ngl I’ve answered “where are the durable gains” like 3 times now. You refuse to process the answer. If someone build a house and an arsonist burns it down, only a fool asks “if construction works where’s the house?” instead of blaming the arsonist. Read more please

@ariana_cecillia @asheredwards_ @HotepDoobs What economic system would you like to see this country embrace or Black America embrace rather if not capitalism?

@asheredwards_ @HotepDoobs No you want to be bent over by the oligarchs and to continue to be subjugated because you love your own oppression. Your ancestors are shrieking in dissapointment from the bottom of the atlantic ocean. Embarrassing.

@TDHBXG There is nothing stopping black socialists from coming together buying plots of land, establishing towns, and imposing socialist political/economic laws in those towns. It can totally be done legally in the US. They have expressed no interest in doing it, which is interesting.

You can hate capitalism but if you're not planning to leave the capitalist system then posting about it every day is stupid

We aren't trying to leave America. We are trying to distance ourselves from those among our number with this poisoned loser mentality, like the woman in the post. They are loud, ignorant, and worst of all feel entitled to our compliance/resources/validation. They are dead weight.

@alan_oldham @FabOfTheFuture @TDHBXG If you leave the USA, then the government can’t plop anyone next to you …oh wait…then you’ll be without protection 🤣 . You can fight and shoot, but you’ll go into debt buying weapons and bullets because few countries will value what you attempt to export.

Honest good faith question: How do Black Americans make meaningful progress in the United States without utilizing the capitalist system? I would appreciate a framework please.

@thecoachchris_ @TDHBXG 4. Congregate with others who share these values explicitly. It's really that simple to understand. But many Black people can't believe or don't want to believe it when we say that's all it takes.

@TDHBXG 1. Prioritize family 2. Shun poor behavior and decision making 3. Reward education and skill building

@_JESSrelax This is the kind of mentality that keeps Black people broke mentally and economically tbh.

Black Capitalists, to me, are either uneducated or evil. WE were the original CAPITAL in this country?????????

@bmaretheprize Facts, sounding like females the whole time.

These people learned this kind of entitlement from their single mothers. A bunch of grown men pocket checking another man asking what he’s going to do for the “community” (me and my single momma lol)

@KaylaKatin Kevin Samuels never said this and Myron is an Arab. Most black mothers are single baby mama's running broken homes. Many times they are the only adult in the house of course they are the "breadwinner".

I’d like to clarify that I say this bc of the amount of Black Manosphere types — think Myron Gaines and Kevin Samuels — who peddle some narrative about black women wanting only rich thugmaxxed Tyrones. Not only is this inconsistent with the data, it is also hypocritical asf bc the second the conversation comes to black men’s preferences, suddenly it’s their god-given right and we’re bitter black bitches if we say anything about it. 🙄

I never want to hear anything about BW being “golddiggers” or having “high standards” 🗿

@jasonterry2024 Or a Black man prioritizing his goals or vision in a way that doesn't serve the sisterhood or require its approval.

No shaming culture in blacks unless it’s a black man trying to get an education. But crime, step dad cucking, and being dumb? Nope. Niggas have no sense of shame whatsoever.

Black men are the ultimate cucks man. It’s sad to say…
