Emancipation and liberation

Reparative justice for emancipation and liberation

Corrupt and unsustainable capitalism, the continued legacy of slavery and colonialism, must end because it legally forces us to be exploited and subjugated without end. Racism, inequality, poverty, discrimination, and ecocide are core features of capitalism (and the imperialism it fosters) through colonial laws which give our oppressors their impunity.

The blood of enslavement and colonialism permeates every aspect of the modern economy, and only systemic change can result in comprehensive, holistic reparative justice. The framework and mechanism of today's governments were developed by wealthy elites in order to preserve control over people, territories, and resources necessary for capitalism to function. The wealthy elites who benefited from slavery and colonialism will not voluntarily give up their wealth, assets and roles in government.

It is impossible to "level-up" under capitalism, which can never deliver equality or be “Black” “nice”, “ethical”, reformed, or regulated. These are myths and propaganda. The laws of capitalism means it relies on human physical and mental subjugation and exploitation, greed, private land and property, competition and individualism and environmental exploitation. Capitalism is the antithesis of emancipation and liberation.

In order to make such an unjust and inhumane political economy function, Capitalism must:

• continuously subjugate people into class, caste, race, sex, ability hierarchies and so on
• enforce patriarchy, poverty, inequality, militarism and imperial violence and plunder

Complete physical and mental reparative justice means our emancipation and liberation from capitalism. Land and nearly endless riches and power have already been accumulated and these cannot distributed fully, as there are not enough resources on earth to sustain capitalism. The world’s land, property, assets, resources, materials and patents must be held in common public custodial ownership for all to benefit from. It was never the colonisers to sell.

Abolishing borders, military, the racialised law enforcement and imperialism can only occur by abolishing capitalism. The Ubuntu tax will over time increase to target the source of wealth and power in order to help dismantle corrupt capitalism. Raising the Revolutionary Reparations tax incrementally has the potential for systemic and revolutionary non-violent change by stripping the most powerful on earth of their wealth, power and privilege.

The Revolutionary Reparations delivers comprehensive, holistic reparative justice for our emancipation and liberation as it leads to a strategic dismantling of capitalism to build democratic, anti-racist and sustainable economies that are free from exploitation and oppression.

The global majority and all workers of the world must unite to have influence over the global economy in order to voice our truth, heal, and repair from colonialism and slavery. Ultimately, the fight for reparations must transform power relations, where the majority of the population, not just the rich, have equal voice and control over the economy and politics. The people must impose a new legal, economic and political system based on Ubuntu philosophy (humanity’s shared and sustainable needs). Only then can we emancipate and liberate ourselves from the legacies of enslavement and colonialism.
