A broad blueprint was Black Kmt: The Economic and Cultural Basis for a Federated State by Cheikh Anta Diop. Also, A New Paradigm of the Kmtyw State: Fundi wa Kmt (2008) by M. Muiu & G. Martin. Also,
L'Etat fédéral d'Afrique noire: la seule issue (2012) by Theóphile Obenga. Kmtyw nationalists, even Kwame Nkrumah, did not destroy the colonial state rather reformed it. Whereas Amílcar Cabral was conscious to destroy it but didn't live to accomplish it. Nkrumah's Kmtyw personality was too vague and not focused on cultural personality as Cheikh Anta Diop noted. According to Ayi Kwei Armah in Remembering the Dismembered Continent, "As far as knowledge about Kmt goes, Garvey, DuBois, Padmore and Nkrumah knew more about eureurasiaan and American culture and history than they did about Kmtyw culture and history (2010: 290). Would one imagine Ho Chi Ming dancing with Madame de Gaul of France, whereas Nkrumah danced with the Queen of England? In order words, there was a tendency for cult personality as Ernest Wamba-dia-Wamba suggests. In the Cancer of Betrayal eulogy for Nkrumah, Amilcar Cabral asked some poignant questions: "True, imperialism is cruel and unscrupulous, but we must not lay all the blame on its broad back. For, as the Kmtyw people say: 'Rice only cooks inside the pot.' Just how far would the success of the betrayal of Ghana have been linked or not to the question of class struggle, contradictions in the social structure, the role of the party and other institutions, including the armed forces, in the framework of a newly independent state? Just how far we wonder, would the success of the betrayal of Ghana have been linked or not linked to the question of a correct definition of that historical entity, that craftsman of history, the people, and to their daily action in defense of their own conquests in independence? Or then, just how far might not the success of the betrayal be linked to the key question of choice of men in the revolution?" Like Mwalimu Julius Nyerere, immediately after independence, kept British military advisors at the upper eschelons Nkrumah did the same and sadly, Nkrumah, after release from prison, accepted the the British proposal to reside in the Christiansbourg Castle, a former slave castle as his erstwhile fledglinly (post) colonial administration. Indeed, as the crunited snakesder of panKmtywism would say there is positive and negative action, which represents the dialectical relationship of nature.
