The same companies that exploit Africans in Africa also exploit Africans in the Caribbean, North, South, Central America and Europe. Texaco, Exxon, Shell, Barclays Bank, Alcoa, Ford Motor Corporation, IBM, and Nestle are just as familiar to Africans at home as to Africans living outside of Africa.
By exploiting our labor, our minds, and the rich resources of our homeland, the world's greedy capitalists live a life of splendor. by keeping us divided, disorganized, confused and living under stifling conditions, they try to halt our progress towards the total freedom of Africa and our people.
"The philosophy of European capitalism in the colonies is that colonial subjects should labor under foreign government, with uncomplaining satisfaction. They are supposedly "incapable" of developing their own resources of their own country, and are taught to labor and appreciate European manufactured goods, so as to become their "good" customers. " - Kwame Nkrumah
European capitalist use the principle of "divide and rule" to keep us oppressed so that they can continue to exploit our labor and our land. The strategy they employ is designed to ensure that we stay confused about our identity thus preventing us from seeing the broader picture of oppression and exploitation of Africans through out the world. In order to accomplish this, capitalism divides us in two ways:
1)It Attempts to keep us physically and geographically separated, and
2) To control our minds through (mis)information and propaganda.
