<p>ShakaRa: Garvey, Marx, &amp; The Black Liberation Debate</p><p>Kimbunga Media Link: https://www.youtube.com/@UCF_QYzobHkzpdBNB7hK21NQ </p><p>In this episode, we sit down with Shakara to explore the legacy and living philosophy of Marcus Garvey. Shakara shares his personal journey into Garveyism and breaks down what Garveyism truly means in the modern world. We discuss essential readings for understanding Garvey’s vision, his influence on global labor struggles, and his impact on African independence movements. The conversation also delves into the ideological links between Garveyism, the Nation of Islam, the Moorish Science Temple, and the Black Panther Party. Shakara addresses the ways Garvey shaped Rastafarianism and reggae as anti-colonial cultural forces, and how Garvey’s ideas compare to Marxist and Maoist frameworks for Black liberation. We also tackle deeper political questions, including how to understand Garvey’s views on Lenin, and whether national struggle can ever be separated from class struggle. This is a rich and challenging discussion about Black self determination, revolutionary thought, and the global influence of Garvey’s Pan-African vision.</p>
