June 19, the day of freedom, marks the end of the old, barbaric, crisis-ridden system of racial slavery in the U.S. It marks the defeat of the endless cruelty and backwardness of the plantation system, and the emancipation of four million Black working people between 1863 and 1865.

But Juneteenth – as Manuel Salazar, General Secretary of the Communist Workers Party of the Dominican Republic, says of the October Revolution in Russia – was “the culmination of a revolutionary process.” It is only thanks to the combined efforts of the Abolitionist circles in the North, the Union Army, and certainly, the heroic and honored military operations, rebellions, and coordination of the enslaved themselves that wrested power from the plantation owners and relegated them to the dustbin of history.

Forced labor has, of course, continued into the modern capitalist era, but not in the form of direct slavery. The most infamous example of this is the policy of mass incarceration: a policy of social engineering (and reaction to the Civil Rights democratic movement) whereby Black workers were first denied an education and other democratic rights, and thus were first up for the chopping block when technological innovation within began to create an army of “unskilled,” “unemployable” labor.

As the MAGA clique of technological capital has begun implementing its program, this fascist power has replaced the traditional subjugation of migrant workers by semi-legality with another direct system of forced labor and prison slavery with ICE. These are the “return” of the worst aspects of the slave system, but under a new, generalized framework. This is the “slavery” brought out by capitalist-imperialist crisis, and which can be defeated, not by liberal-bourgeois revolution, but only by proletarian, working-class revolution.

Join us this Friday for a discussion with former Black Panther, underground fighter and prison organizer Jalil Muntaqim. Register via the QR code, or this link: bit.ly/6RYR5

Those who are interested in hearing more from Jalil Muntaqim, or who wish to build up connections amongst revolutionary organizations should also participate in the national mobilization on July 4th, called by our comrades in Spirit of Mandela and Women United Against Genocide. Organizations from around the country will be meeting in Atlanta, GA

We need to start building new, revolutionary and working-class traditions to replace the fascist culture espoused by the institutions of American imperialism. No less important is the defense of our radical customs and history, which are currently under renewed attack by reactionary forces. It is our responsibility to keep the stories of previous generations moving forward, that they can be used by the next generation.

Join us this Friday, the 5th, and take up the mantle in our fight against the new red scare and fascist reaction.

Special thanks to our comrades in the United States Marxist-Leninist Organization (USMLO) for connecting us with Jalil and helping us to set this up
