Black America is a Land Power

Making sense of the Axis' continued existence.

A year into Biden’s presidency, we have a few unsettling questions:

Why did Biden choose Build Back Better instead of the America Rearmament Act as his signature (and so far, stalled) domestic policy? Why aren’t thousands of dead Russians littering the Mediterranean? Why does Assad remain in power?

We can go on. Biden was always a long shot choice to confront the Axis, having fought to keep Assad in power under Obama. His hypothetical turn against the Axis was entirely premised on the presence of Vice President Harris, who, aside from Senator Klobuchar, was the primary target of Russian attacks in the 2020 election.

Unfortunately, this was also premised on Harris’ bloc of support, and that of the backbone of the Democratic Party - Black America - apprising that they were the primary targets of the Axis and mobilizing against it decisively.

Instead, the opposite has happened. Rather than a shift toward mobilization against the Axis, we see an inward turn with the Cult of January 6. Instead of the Big Waco, premised on the global exportation of the Civil Rights Revolution, we see Biden’s Administration, and the activist Democratic Party at large, embrace the idea of a Little Waco. Waged in conjunction with Americommunist forces, it aims to nationalize a global conflict, and leave the external patrons of “white supremacy” - a notion which has also been subverted in the name of a nationalist turn - in place.

Of course, the point of this nationalization is to stoke a civil war so the Americommunists can finally dispense with the United States they wish to see abolished. The won’t win of course, but as leftism is a mind parasite that hijacks the victim and makes them work exclusively to the empowerment of fascists, their inevitable defeat isn’t just beside the point - it is the point.

The liberals who have signed up for this project don’t realize what their “antifascist” allies have in store for them. They have been warned by our movement but made their decision. We can only watch this process unfold and move on with our own plans.

Even so, this inward turn would not be so much of a problem if whatever Axis threat within the United States were homegrown. Yet it is not. The fact that the Little Wacoists trumpet the inherent white supremacist nature of the United States, stretching all the way back to 1619 (almost two centuries before it even came into existence) should give away the game. They do not want anyone to see where the knocking is really coming from. They do not want anyone to discuss how the “white supremacists” they chase are entirely given life by forces outside of US borders.

Take the Assad regime for instance, the nucleus of the Axis. For much of the early 2010s, far-right European, and occasionally American, figures would travel to Damascus, forming the rudiments of a fascist network we see maturing today. This fact was widely known and reported, yet when the time came to depose the Assad regime in 2013 - a signal threat to Black America - the Congressional Black Caucus, along with the Republican Party, mobilized to protect the regime.

Representative Clyburn played a balancing act (which should never have even existed), and though he favored a no-fly zone earlier in the year, even his wife opposed overthrowing the anti-Black Assad regime, and Clyburn himself seemed to breathe a sigh of release when famously pro-Black Russia moved in with a fake chemical weapons compromise.

Since then, Russia has gone on to assault Black America via proxy across space, time, and dimensions. Perhaps Russia’s greatest victory is the subversion of wokeness to Axis means through Betelgeuse, a vast psychological warfare operation that utterly dwarfs anything MK Ultra could ever have hoped for. Thanks to Betelgeuse, to be woke is to be pro-Axis, a stunning reversal of the proto-wokeness that was present in Allied High Command and underlined efforts to break the will of First Axis populations through relentless sieges and strategic bombing campaigns.

Now, we see woke activists lobbying to lift sanctions on Iran, “support” “P*lestine,” understand Russia, and cool tensions with China in the name of avoiding anti-Asian racism. Outside of our movement, wokeness is subject to fascist institutional capture.

Yet the problem cannot be with wokeness itself - anything that leads to discussions of Alawite Guilt or Han Privilege, two of the most destructive forces of the modern era, can’t be broken. We must look to those who have failed it for an explanation. And there is a simple one.

Despite the increasing rate of Broken Clock Syndrome on the Right, I refuse to accept that their cargo cult intellectualism can produce more than fleeting gotchas. This was the bloc that truly buried Syria, and thus enabled the rise of the Axis, by strangling any discussion of intervention against Assad in 2011 to 2013. A movement that openly describes itself as counterrevolutionary can never be a home to a mind like mine.

I will not put on the bowtie. I will not join the country club.

Something is definitely wrong, but there is another explanation that is more satisfying than any version of the Right’s (often racist and sexist) “things are changing too fast.”

Black America is a land power.

To my knowledge, no one has examined the political economy of Black America as if it were a separate entity. Yet once we do this, suddenly every question comes into focus and has a ready explanation.

Precisely at the moment wokeness should have come into direct conflict with the Axis, it deflected and turned inward because a land power is fundamentally insular. The closer the current of material conditions draw Black America into confrontation with the Axis in one dimension, the faster it moves away in another alternate reality.

Rather than challenge the Axis directly, especially as Russia now moves deeper into Black Africa - a prelude of its intentions in the United States, we see the Warrenism of Kendi gain further currency and #KHive retreat to the comforts of 2016, where the salient threats are double-digit Berniebro accounts and Glenn Greenwald’s cackle-tweets.

As the deadly real threat of the Axis grows by the day, so too does the paranoia around the phantom of “white supremacy,” which now is embedded in the very chemistry of the screen you are reading this on, but which has absolutely nothing to do with the Axis whatsoever, and actually, we need to Free P*lestine because civil rights.

Looking at the demographics of the United States military, we can also see this thesis borne out. As expected, Black service members are overrepresented within the Army and underrepresented most notably in the Marines, and perhaps most tellingly, the Coast Guard. Looking at a demographic map of the United States, the reason becomes obvious - many Black people simply don’t live near the ocean, and we are seeing the effects of this play out.

This also explains the CBC’s opposition to Syria, to a point, and toward confronting the Axis more directly. Land powers are loath to avoid military conflict. While no American demographic is free from partisan paranoia at this point, this material condition recontextualizes modern anti-war sentiment among black America and places it on a fundamentally different axis than that of leftists who often seek common cause with them, or that of the modern conservative movement.

Unfortunately, this also means that even as the Cult of January 6 seeks to root out foreign enemies, it will never ask why a Russian operative who was present at the Battle of Donetsk Airport was also present at the Capitol Riot. Of course, the purge will never extend toward any of what Glem would refer to as “the deep state,” even as it has just as many if not more Axis operatives as the Little Waco’s current targets.

Unfortunately, this means that no matter how much, on paper, wokeness and Black America in the driver’s seat will lead to a collision with the Axis, it will not happen on a proactive basis. Yes, the Civil Rights Revolution presents a fundamental threat to Russkiy Mir and National Socialist China, and even Iran’s theocracy, which has also embraced #BLM via *Palestine. Despite this, a North American land power will never actively seek out conflict an ocean away - even if that threat wants to see it wiped from the earth and is working tirelessly toward that goal.

That leaves our movement alone at the forefront of the antifascist struggle. Recognizing how far any one faction can move can help us better direct our efforts to those that are willing to strike the Axis before it gains the full initiative.
