SPEECH OF MORENGA BAMBATA, A-APRP ORGANISER IN BRITAIN — 23 March, 1985 AT THE SEMINAR ON THE "JUCHE" IDEA—ORGANISED BY MOSQUITO PRESS, LONDON "I bring you greetings on behalf of the All-African People's Revolutionary Party. Some of you may have first heard of our Party in 1983, when one of our prominent spokesmen, Kwame Ture, came to do a tour of Britain. Because of the strength of the ideas of our Party, and what we know that the African masses will do once they are organised around these ideas, when Kwame was scheduled for another tour in 1984, he was banned by the British government, which was afraid of this potential. Kwame 's message in 1983 to Africans in Britain, was that our people need organisation moreso than leaders. So when the British government banned him, thinking they were stopping the ideas by stopping the "leader," our Party sent members of the organisation to do the work. This proved the point. I extend revolutionary greetings, on behalf of our Party, to our comrades, sisters, brothers, friends, and people of good willwho are here today. I especially want to thank our comrades at Mosquito Press for organising such an historic occasion. This seminar is quite significant at this time since we have found within the "left" tradition in Britain and the United States, and most of Western Europe, an overwhelming amount of chauvinism and lack of recognition, especially toward African intellectuals (and other nationalities), regarding their contribution to world revolutionary struggle. There has been some acknowledgement of the Asian and European experience. but they often forget about people like Nkrumah, Sobukwe, Lumumba, Cabral, Toure, and other African revolutionaries who have contributed significantly to the advance- ment of world revolutionary thought. Most African revolutionaries have studied these African revolutionaries, as well as the European and Asian revolutionaries. But very few within the "left" in Western Europe and America study or have any respect for African revolutionaries contributions. So we come to bring you a brief summary on our ideology of Nkrumahism, which we say is the guiding ideology of the African revolution, and which is similar in many ways to the ideas of "Juche" and "Chajusong" put forward by our revolutionary Korean comrades. When I talk in Britain with this funny American accent, audiences in Britain often say "You're an American." As Nkrumahists, we totally reject that notion! As Nkrumahists, our Party uncompromisingly asserts that "All people of African descent, whether they live (or were born) in North or South America, the Caribbean, or in any other part of the world are Africans and belong to the African nation." This is one of the foundations of our ideology. The only reason that I talk with this American accent, and other Africans talk with different European languages and accents is because European colonialists colonised our land and scattered our people throughout the world like no other people have ever been scattered. Through our research we know that African people live in over 113 countries around the world, many of them outside of Africa. In most of the countries where we have been scattered, our labour is used to the benefit of someone else, not for the benefit of Africa or African people. We come to correct that. If we find Africans living in the mountains of Tibet, you can bet that we are going to be mountain climbing! (smile) The point is, wherever we finds Africans, we will organise their energies, their intellect, and their labour to serve the African Revolution as part of the world socialist revolution. This is consistent with the Juche idea, where Comrade Kim Jongll asserted the national identity of all Koreans, regardelss of where they live. He said, "As regards our overseas brothers, they are Koreans who come from the same stock as us and who originally lived in the same territory, speaking the same language. They were forced to leave their beloved homesteads... So how can one say that they are not of the Korean nation? It goes without saying that they legitimately belong to the Korean nation."
p.2 I shall now summarise briefly some of the other principles of our Party's ideology--Nkrumahism. We cannot possibly discuss fully this body of political thought in the world, in the brief time we have to share today. Nkrumahism became recognised as a significant expression of revolutionary thought in Africa and the world during the 1960's. It was an expression of the principles, policies, and practices which Nkrumah advocated and followed for the African Revolution, and which were contained in his speeches, writings, and actions. These ideas and practices were crystallised in 1968, with the publishing of Handbook of Revolution- ary Warfare, in which he called for the formation of our Party, the A-APRP. Kwame Ture, who was involved in the student and Black Power movements in the U.S., was invited to Guinea in 1969 by Sekou Toure and Kwame Nkrumah, to do work and study under their guidance. Other Africans born in the Caribbean, America, and Africa were later brought together, with Kwame Ture, to initiate the formation of this Party. In 1972, these organisers and militants initiated the formation of the first work-study circles of the A-APRP among African students and acti- vists on the college campuses in the United States. Since then, after just more than 10 years of organising, our Party has managed to recruit Africans born in more than 33 countries, and expose them to the ideology and practice of Nkrumahism. We are here in Britain today to bring the message of Nkrumahism and Pan- Africanism, and knowledge of the African Revolution to the African masses who live here. One of our most difficult problems to overcome, as Nkrumahists, is to correct the scattered, colonial way of thinking, confused identities, and mixed allegiances taught to our people by the British imperialists, and even confused members of the "left". Our Party's current task is to correct this con- fusion over, and rejection of, African identity, and to get Africans to recog- nise and carry out their proper role within the world socialist revolution. We are working to unite and organise the energies, intellect, resources, skills, and labour of African people to fight for a liberated, unified Africa, under a scien- tific socialist system of government. This objective will allow African people to solve our current problems and fulfill our future aspirations, while also advancing the world socialist revolution, and intensifying class struggle in these countries built off the rape and exploitation of Africa and the scattering and enslavement of African people. Some people say this is a "dream". Well, if anyone had told the European imperialists over 500 years ago that they were dreaming when they planned to scatter Africans all over the world to shed our sweat and blood in Europe (including Britain) and the Americas to make them rich and powerful, they would have made it clear that it was a plan, not a dream. African labour built this empire! In fact, these British colonialists grew so strong off the exploitation of Africa and the world, that they said the sun would never set on the British empire! But today, according to our interests and our plan, the anti-colonial and liberation struggles in Africa, Asia, and the world have advanced to the point where we have the British imperialists looking at the moon! African people, and others, achieved this in spite of the fact that we suffered a severe loss of our people, which is the basis of any nation, and our land. In fact so many of our people were murdered and scattered during the slave trade--and I am not saying this to diminish the importance of any other nation-- that if the same numbers had been genocidally murdered in some of the other national liberation struggles, they would have no nation, as we know happened to some of the Native Americans. This left Africa severely weakened. Despite this weakening, the African masses have won many victories, and the African Revolu- tion has made significant progress toward our objective--Pan-Africanism. Nkrumah once said, "You measure progress not only according to the heights to which you aim, you measure progress also according to the depths from which you came." This also applies to the Native Americans, whom I mentioned earlier. In America, our Party works closely with the American Indian Movement, and we intend to help them regain control of their land, because we are dealing with justice. Many people talk about socialism and talk about it in an abstract fashion. There is no way to deal with socialism and not deal justice according to history. The land in America belongs to the original people there! .
