: The Oppressed fight each other, but we still can't Employ; Feed; Clothe; House; Educate; Inform each other; meet our own Health-Care needs; protect our own Political interests; or stop Gentrification. Meanwhile, Capitalism expands as we fight & build nothing! 😢

: Far too many Oppressed people think it's more important to be "right" & "prove points" than it is to be LIBERATED! We'll squeeze ourselves into [Class, Race, Gender] boxes & fail to balance that with mass solidarity (inclusive of all the groups); to our own detriment.

: How do people keep barking about GLOBAL Capitalist Imperialism then think they can fight a Global struggle with only 'Black' folk; or only the Feminists; or only the Socialists; or only on a National basis? I'm so confused by many of my peers! 🤔

: Oppression Psychology has us squeezed into these limited spectrums & developing tunnel vision, so that we never unify & struggle together; and it only - then - works to help maintain & reinforce our Oppression [and Powerlessness]!

: Oppression Psychology makes us "stupid" enough to normalize & continue this vicious cycle; then congratulate ourselves, like fighting other Oppressed people [to the benefit of those who Oppress us] is some great achievement! 🤦🏾‍♂️

: I reiterate that it's impossible to effectively fight & defeat Global Capitalist Imperialism with only small groups in the Oppressed masses. All Oppression - Race, Class, Gender, LGBQTI, etc. - is anchored by the same Imperialists. It requires global solidarity to beat them.

: Did Hampton or any Panthers stop building in the 'Black' community in order to develop global solidarity? No! It wasn't necessary to be an extremist; to fight for (1) only 'Black' people or (2) only the Class Oppressed masses. Both were necessary!
