Ahjamu Umi: Dialectics and Democratic Centralism

<p>When we talk about Democratic Centralism one name keeps coming up, that is V.I Lenin. We are not chatting about Lenin today but democratic centralism. Democratic centralism emerged from Marxist-Leninist revolutionary theory, aiming to consolidate power to achieve socialist transformation. It has been practiced in states like the Soviet Union, China, and Cuba and we may even add, Vietnam. On the other hand, liberal democracy evolved from capitalist development, exemplified by systems in the United States, India, and European states.</p><p>To talk about democratic centralism, Ahjamu Umi joins me. Ahjamu is a dedicated activist/organizer/author who has engaged in on the ground work throughout Africa, Europe, the Caribbean, and throughout the U.S. for 4 decades now. He recently returned from organizing work in Africa, Azania/SA. His latest work is &quot;A Guide for Defense against White Supremacist, Patriarchal, and Fascist Violence.&quot; It's a manifesto designed to provide guidance for how to organize neighborhoods on a block by block basis. Ahjamu is an organizer with the AAPRP.</p><p><br /></p><p>COnnect with Ahjamu's work @https://www.abetterworld.me/</p>
