Since 1972, the African People's Socialist Party has held up the genuine interests of our colonized people and fought concrete battles for concrete results for our Revolution. Concretely, we have organized among the masses of our people on the jobs, the campuses, in the prisons and in the communities. We have attempted with more or less success to forge a revolutionary consciousness and scientific
African Internationalist worldview upon every struggle against police terror, tenant abuse, neocolonialist chicanery, etc. We have fought to make every battle for healthcare, students' rights, an end to the death penalty and freedom for black political prisoners and prisoners of war a stepping stone for the transformation of every black community within the U.S. into fighting Soviets for political independence, African liberation and socialism. It was the African People's Socialist Party [APSP] that finally moved in a meaningful way on the historical demand by our people for reparations from U.S. imperialism for criminal abuse and for the value of the stolen labor which have been the consequence of U.S. domestic colonialism or what is referred to by the Vietnamese as "internal colonization." Our Party built the World Tribunal on Reparations for Black People in the U.S. Today, in the African People's Socialist Party, the African working class has its own revolutionary Party that is conscious of its mission and struggling to achieve strength and position. It is an anti-colonial Party of the whole people. Our Party is rooted among the toiling African masses, the African working class, which represents the most consistently revolutionary social force within current U.S. It is with the leadership of the African workers and in their interests that the struggle must be waged in order to achieve a revolutionary conclusion. It is a socialist Party. It is conscious of its struggle against colonialism as part and parcel of the worldwide struggle to destroy a parasitic social system, built on slavery, genocide and colonialism, and based on the private ownership and control of the world's means of production and resources by a handful of bandit states and people at the expense of the vast majority of humanity. The poverty and immiseration of the African and oppressed peoples everywhere have their basis in this parasitic relationship. It is an internationalist Party. It understands that the plight of African people in Africa and abroad is due to a process of parasitism that was imposed on most of the world by Europe. The struggle to liberate and unify Africa and its people is a crucial part of the struggle by the world's peoples to defeat parasitic imperialism. It is a revolutionary Party. It realizes that African liberation and unification, the defeat of colonialism and the victory of socialism can only come about through the total and absolute overthrow of parasitic capitalist imperialism by the working class united with the poor peasantry and the toiling masses of the world.
