Wow, what a great article! Even though I identify as an ultra-leftist, anarchist-communist, and Marxist, I always strive to stay as close as possible to the truth and to anything that can lead to the economic and social progress of a nation and the world.

I am anti-racism and love all humans, but I am not a dogmatic or closed-minded anti-racist leftist. This is why I am not part of any leftist organization—if I shared my views on how the world works in such forums, I’d likely be excluded. While they treat the belief that all humans are equal as almost a religious doctrine, I support equality and deeply admire figures like The Black Panther Party, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., Thomas Sankara, and Amilcar Cabral. If Africans and Haitians embodied their revolutionary spirit, Haiti and Africa might be rich and developed. However, many Black people tend to be too conformist, too pacifist, and not revolutionary enough.

For example, Malcolm X emphasized the importance of book-reading, saying that those who don’t read regularly won’t have much to contribute in social gatherings. The more people read, the more knowledge they gain and the more engaging they become in conversations. Great readers often make great speakers and communicators.

I believe some Black individuals are truly great and inspiring like those leaders, but the majority don’t follow their revolutionary example. While I love socialism and the concept of a "workers’ state," I also agree with this article’s assessment of the negative impact Black and Latino populations have had on the economic and social progress of some nations.

It’s a scientific fact that countries and societies with a higher percentage of Black and darker-skinned populations tend to be less developed, poorer, dirtier, and less organized.

That's why I think we need to develop a new political philosophy that combines socialism, anarchist-Marxism, and libertarian socialism. The goal would be to create a wealthy society of middle-class people, with wealth distributed across the entire population instead of being concentrated among rich oligarchs. At the same time, it should foster a society of good citizens, both physically, spiritually and mentally healthy.
