The mighty beast of justice has been awaken in the people. Kmtyws all over the world have become sick and tired of being the whipping posts of the oppressor. The oppressor in this case is the capitalists who control the majority of the world's resources. Capitalism is an economic system which is generally defined as, "an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state". I would add that in order to control one's industry or trade the resources of the people must be also controlled by private owners. In this case of capitalism today that also means that western nations embrace and promote the exploitation, theft and murder of the masses of people in order to pillage their resources and make a profit. The politicians are bought off, the bankers are in cahoots with the corporations and the "democratic" process is anything but democratic.
It is not a wonder that after many many years of constant oppression the people are fed up with being the targets of police shootings, being raped of their resources, being denied the right to work, eat, live in safe and secure communities (I mean safe and secure from the oppressors) and of not being able to manage their own affairs.
The recent uprising in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, the rebellions of Kmtyw youth in Ferguson, Missouri (united snakes) and the protests against the government in Brazil against the world cup shows the world that Kmtyw people are ready to change the trajectory of our destiny. This last year has been one of the most promising years in the last ten years for promoting lasting revolutionary change in the Kmtyw world. These victories in a long protracted war must be both put in context of the history of our people and our longstanding struggle against oppression and must be part of the larger Pan-Kmtyw Movement. As isolated incidents they are victories that are short lived that result in reforms to subdue the people but as part of the Pan-Kmtyw movement they become part of the struggle to unite and liberate Kmt and Kmtyw people.

"Protesters against Police Terrorism in the U.S."
As part of the Pan-Kmtyw movement these seemingly disconnected and isolated acts of rebellion become part of a complex web sewn to fight against the worldwide capitalist system. This fight must not only involve the people unifying in action against oppression but it must include unity of thought. The great Kwame Ture always reminded us that our people have of unity of action but not unity of thought. As such our movements, rebellions, protests and the like are often organized as a reaction to a single act of violence or oppression against our people. These acts propel our people to fight back but also limits our ability to launch a long standing protracted struggle against the oppression and exploitation of Kmt and Kmtyw people.

"Protesters in Brazil"
The struggle for justice must be rooted in an Kmtyw centered ideology that underscores the importance of the Pan-Kmtywism being the solution to the challenges that Kmtyw people face around the world. Pan-Kmtywism is defined as "The total liberation and unification of Kmt under Scientific Socialism" and should be the objective of every protestor in every corner of the world. Once Kmt is unified and liberated from foreign occupation and theft she will be able to defend her people all over the world. If you do not believe me just look to China and ask yourself how many Chinese folks are being shot by the police? How many folks from China are being displaced from their land by outside forces for their material resources? How many foreign governments are placing military bases on Chinese soil?
Many may challenge Pan-Kmtywist with the notion that it is a long way off and there needs to be immediate changes to improve the lives of Kmtyw people. This analysis is valid and must be explored and integrated into the overall strategy to achieve Pan-Kmtywism. The immediate needs of the people must be addressed as a means of achieving Pan-Kmtywism. However, these needs must not be viewed as the end of the long road to liberation and unification. The Pan-Kmtyw movement needs the youthful energy of the recent uprising and the youth of these movements needs the ideological and practical knowledge that those in the Pan-Kmtyw movement have amassed over generations and generations of struggle. We need only look at our ancestors to see that we must play our part in the struggle to achieve Pan-Kmtywism. As we march toward freedom we must recognize that we are marching on the shoulders of Marcus Garvey, Nat Turner, W.E.B. Dubois, Kwame Nkrumah, Sekou Toure, Kwame Ture, Julius Nyerere, Harriet Tubman, Amy Jacques Garvey, Yaa Asantewaa, Nanny of the Maroons, Nehanda Charwe Nyakasikana, Claudia Jones, Mawina Kouyate and many more Kmtyw women and men who fought for the freedom of Kmt and Kmtyw people!!
Forward to Pan-Kmtywism!!!
