[[File:Blackan.png]] '''Black Anarchism,''' [[File:Anarkata.png]] '''Anarkata''' or '''Afro-anarchism''' is an [[File:Awaj.png]] [[Anarchism|anarchist]] and [[File:Cultcenter.png]] [[:Category:Cultural Center|culturally centrist]] ideology, which claims that the state has never treated Black Americans as full citizens, so, by default, African Americans are in a state of anarchy and in opposition with the state. |
|||
== History == |
|||
Black Anarchism, as a political ideology, came to prominence during the early 20th century, during the rise of the [[File:Awaj.png]] [[Anarchism|anarchist movement]] in the [[File:Cball-US.png]] United States. Black activists started to become members of the anarchist movement, which was mostly dominated by white men. Black anarchists attempted to connect the struggle against [[File:Sec.png]] [[Authoritarianism|authoritarianism]] and [[File:Cap.png]] [[Capitalism|capitalism]] to the struggle against [[File:Racism.png]] [[Racial Nationalism|racism.]] |
|||
Black anarchism was developed by [[File:LucyParson.png]] [[Anarcha-Feminism|Lucy Parsons]], an American anarchist activist. She advocated for [[File:Blacknat.png]] [[Black Nationalism|black self-determination]] and [[File:LGRights.png]] {{PCBA|Gun Rights Advocacy|armed self-defense against racism.}} Parsons commonly criticized the anarchist movement for its failure to address civil rights issues. |
|||
After World War 2, [[File:Anpacf.png]] [[Anarcho-Pacifism|anarcho-pacifism]] gained popularity in black anarchist circles. This was boosted by the nonviolent methods of the aforementioned civil rights movement. [[File:Thar.png]] [[Anti-Authoritarianism|Anti-authortarianism]] gained popularity within the movement, and thus many civil rights organizations adopted black anarchism as a ideology. |
|||
Black anarchism gained popularity in many [[File:Blacknat.png]] [[Black Nationalism|black nationalist]] movements in the 1960s, such as the [[File:BlackPantherParty.png]] [[Marxism-Leninism|Black Panther Party.]] Members of the BPP became angered with the supposed [[File:Oligarchy.png]] [[Oligarchy|oligarchization]] of the party leadership. This led to some party members becoming radicalized, and shifting towards black anarchism. Black liberation movements such as the [[File:Aneco.png]] [[Eco-Anarchism|MOVE]] organization began to embrace black anarchism as part of their ideologies. |
|||
After the 20th century, Black anarchism decreased in popularity among both anarchists and black nationalists. However, scattered black anarchist movements still exist to this day. |
|||
==Beliefs== |
|||
Black anarchism is a variant of [[File:Awaj.png]] [[Anarchism]] that puts an emphasis on [[File:AntiRacism.png]] {{PCBA|Anti-Racism|opposition to racism}}, and [[File:Blacknat.png]] [[Black Nationalism|black-self determination.]] |
|||
===Revolution=== |
|||
The black anarchist movement is founded opon the principles of [[File:RevNat.png]] [[Revolutionary Nationalism|revolutionary nationalism]]. Black anarchists believe that the only way to dismantle [[File:Sec.png]] [[Authoritarianism|authoritarian]] power structures is through a revolution. Revolutionary methods, according to black anarchist theorist Lorenzo Kom'boa Ervin, include [[File:AnSynd.png]] [[Anarcho-Syndicalism|labor strikes]], boycotts, and tax resistance. Black anarchist groups such as [[File:Anprim.png]] [[Anarcho-Primitivism|MOVE]] adopted and embraced [[File:Insan2.png]] [[Insurrectionary Anarchism]] as an ideology. Despite this, factions of the black anarchist movement embraced pacifism. |
|||
===Communism=== |
|||
Black anarchism was influenced by [[File:Ancom.png]] [[Anarcho-Communism|anarcho-communism]]. Black anarchists see [[File:Cap.png]] [[Capitalism|capitalism]] as not only an oppressive force towards the [[File:Soc-h.png]] [[Socialism|working class,]] but also towards [[File:Blacknat.png]] [[Black Nationalism|black people.]] |
|||
===Progressivism=== |
|||
Black anarchism advocates for [[File:Prog-u.png]] [[Progressivism|social equality]]. Black anarchists commonly criticize the [[File:Awaj.png]] [[Anarchism|mainstream anarchist movement]] for its supposed failure to address racial and social issues. Black anarchists believe in [[File:AntiSexism.png]] [[Feminism|anti-sexism,]] [[File:AntiRacism.png]] {{PCBA|Anti-Racism|Anti-Racism,}} [[File:Antiimp.png]] {{PCBA|Anti-Imperialism|anti-imperialism,}} and anti-homophobia. |
|||
==Variants== |
|||
===[[File:Anarkata.png]] Anarkata=== |
|||
[[File:Anarkata.png]] '''Anarkata''' is a form of [[File:Indigenous_Anarchism.png]] {{PCBA|Indigenous Anarchism|indigenous anarchism}} that is based around African tradition and culture. Anarkata advocates for a society where Black people are able to express their autonomy and freedoms. |
|||
===[[File:LucyParson.png]] Lucy Parsons Thought=== |
|||
[[File:LucyParson.png]] '''Lucy Parsons Thought''' are the political beliefs and theories of American anarchist activist '''Lucy Parsons'''. |
|||
Parsons believed in [[File:AnSynd.png]] [[Anarcho-Syndicalism|anarcho-syndicalism]], as she commonly participated in the labor rights movement. Parsons is commonly seen as the founder of black anarchism, as she connected the [[File:Thar.png]] [[Anti-Authoritarianism|anti-authortarian]] and [[File:Anticap.png]] {{PCBA|Anti-Capitalism|anti-capitalist}} causes to the anti-racist cause. Parsons believed in [[File:LGRights.png]] {{PCBA|Gun Rights Advocacy|armed self defense against oppression}} and [[File:Blacknat.png]] [[Black Nationalism|black self-determination.]] |
|||
===[[File:Anprim.png]] MOVE=== |
|||
== '''Anarkata''' == |
|||
'''MOVE''' is an [[File:Anprim.png]] [[Anarcho-Primitivism|anarcho-primitivist]] communal movement that was established in 1972, in Pennsylvania. The organization is founded opon a mix of [[File:Blacknat.png]] [[Black Nationalism|black nationalism,]] [[File:Deepe.png]] [[Deep Ecology|deep ecology,]] [[File:Aneco.png]] [[Eco-Anarchism|green anarchism,]] and [[File:Totlib.png]] [[Total Liberationism|animal rights advocacy.]] The MOVE became infamous for its conflicts with the [[File:PolState.png]] [[Police Statism|Pennsylvania police department.]] These conflicts culminated in a firefight between MOVE members and the PPD in 1985, which resulted in the latter using a police helicopter to drop a bomb onto a MOVE compound. The bombing killed 11 MOVE members, including 5 children. |
|||
Anarkata is anarchism based in African tradition. |

"Let us sink such differences as nationality, religion, politics, and set our eyes eternally and forever toward the rising star of the industrial republic of labor."
Black Anarchism,
Anarkata or Afro-anarchism is an
anarchist and
culturally centrist ideology, which claims that the state has never treated Black Americans as full citizens, so, by default, African Americans are in a state of anarchy and in opposition with the state.
History
Black Anarchism, as a political ideology, came to prominence during the early 20th century, during the rise of the anarchist movement in the
United States. Black activists started to become members of the anarchist movement, which was mostly dominated by white men. Black anarchists attempted to connect the struggle against
authoritarianism and
capitalism to the struggle against
racism.
Black anarchism was developed by Lucy Parsons, an American anarchist activist. She advocated for
black self-determination and
armed self-defense against racism. Parsons commonly criticized the anarchist movement for its failure to address civil rights issues.
After World War 2, anarcho-pacifism gained popularity in black anarchist circles. This was boosted by the nonviolent methods of the aforementioned civil rights movement.
Anti-authortarianism gained popularity within the movement, and thus many civil rights organizations adopted black anarchism as a ideology.
Black anarchism gained popularity in many black nationalist movements in the 1960s, such as the
Black Panther Party. Members of the BPP became angered with the supposed
oligarchization of the party leadership. This led to some party members becoming radicalized, and shifting towards black anarchism. Black liberation movements such as the
MOVE organization began to embrace black anarchism as part of their ideologies.
After the 20th century, Black anarchism decreased in popularity among both anarchists and black nationalists. However, scattered black anarchist movements still exist to this day.
