We Demand an End to the Political Economy of the Counterinsurgency

12. We Demand an End to the Political Economy of the Counterinsurgency; the Parasitic Relationship that Benefits the White Population with Millions of Dollars for Jobs, Resources and a Stabilized Economy off of the U.S. Counterinsurgency (war) on African People in the U.S. We recognize that white society in the U.S. and Europe exist parasitically on a pedestal of resources, land and labor stolen from African people for 400 years. The economy of the U.S. was built off of the stolen labor of enslaved African people and the stolen land of the native people. Today, the majority of jobs for white people are tied to the political economy of the counterinsurgency, creating an opportunist economic basis for white people’s unity with the counterinsurgency and a parasitic job market that benefits white people at the expense of African and other colonized people. This parasitism has grown to the extent that whole communities of North Americans throughout the U.S. are sustained economically through the prison industry and the counterinsurgency.
As real estate agents, stock brokers and money laundering bankers, white people off the resources stolen from colonized people all over the world and off the drug economy that fuels the U.S. economy while providing false justification for the counterinsurgency. As slumlords, white people are enriched by the profits made from keeping African men, women and children in miserable living conditions in cities across the U.S. As lawyers, foster care workers, social workers, police, national guards and beneficiaries of the prison system, including construction workers, guards and countless other suppliers, the white population directly benefits from the attacks on the African community.
Billions of dollars in federal and state funds are flooded into the white communities of the U.S. yearly in grants ranging from aid for “disaster relief” to grants for job programs that create careers for the social workers that administer them and no change in the economic, political and social conditions for the African community. We demand an end to this parasitic political economy and the complicity and opportunism of white people in the counterinsurgency.
