Celebrating the Great Marcus Garvey and His Movement

At the physical core of economic functioning for Afrikan souls throughout the self-determined norm of their continuum is their land and their people here, there and elsewhere. It is from this combination that other economic expressions naturally emerge. At the same time, economic functioning is naturally embedded within authentic cultural living (creatively restored or otherwise). Thus, learning economy is naturally a matter of authentic cultural engagement where key principles can be passed from each generation to the next.
Unfortunately, in a state of interruption and disruption where Afrikan souls may be destructively set upon in acute ways by others that mean the Afrikan ill, the natural norms of Afrikan economic functioning and its necessary learning amongst its people can suffer immensely. Miseducation and other forms of anti-Afrikan propaganda may be pushed and peddled as ill-vices to perpetuate damage of confusion, disorder or worse. In this, Afrikan souls surely have a duty and responsibility to themselves to restore some semblance of learning economy in service of their fullest flourishing and security regardless of their geographical locale.
To shed light on the importance of learning in relation to economy a mainstream source cites learning as thrust of contemporary economic functioning in the following way:
“In a learning economy, learning is not just a phase of education but a continuous, lifelong process that fuels innovation and economic progress”.
The great hero Marcus Garvey with his insightful words of wisdom articulates that:
“Economy is based upon good and sane judgement”.
Rightfully and inherently, Afrikan economy is wholesome and essential goodness for Afrikan people’s thriving here, there and elsewhere. Yet, subject to contaminants of ill and ills of disorder rightful functioning can be of dire detriment in the lives of soul people.
In a documentary entitled ‘The Black Candle’, Dr Jawanza Kunjufu in America asks and states the following:
“How can a people earn almost 800 billion dollars and only spend 3% of their money with each other? The biggest boycott is the Black consumer on Black businesses”.
Whether its the dollar, pounds sterling or other currency and whether in relation to this side of the 'pond' or that, such questioning remains relevant. Meanwhile, the core resources that facilitate the generation income and ‘economy’ within western countries do not largely come from western countries themselves. According to another mainstream contemporary source:
“Both the US and the UK rely on Afrikan resources, particularly minerals and energy”.
Whether Afrikan souls are consciously aware of it or not it is their lands, their resources and themselves that are of central significance in the world. Through appropriate levels of self-determined learning and development Afrikan souls can – and surely must – build their rightfully functional economy to realise their optimality. At the same time, Afrikan souls can do themselves a great service in avoiding becoming agents of self-destruction by proxy with deceitful, deceptive behaviours intended to bring harm to souls rightfully missioning for Afrikan ascension. Wilfully destructive gossip-mongering and the spreading of falsehoods set to destroy upright souls is despicable at best.
Indeed, the boon rightful engagement in learning self-economy can have in the lives of Afrikan people is tremendous. After all civilisation is not of happenstance.
