Liberators Give Rise to the Process of Liberation and the Outcome of Liberty: What of a Philosophy of Liberation? 

Afrikan souls have always held a profound depth of love for wisdom, knowledge and understanding. So much so, that throughout the various levels of the Afrikan self learning and development in this regard permeated Afrikan life and literature from the earliest of times. This, amongst other things, speaks to cultivation, expression and use of Afrikan philosophical phenomenon. So then, what of philosophy in regards to the attainment and maintenance of Afrikan liberty? 

According to a contemporary mainstream source, the term philosophy of liberation attracts the following detail: 

“The philosophy of liberation, also known as liberatory philosophy, is a philosophical approach that seeks to free individuals and communities from various forms of oppression and injustice, aiming to create a more just and equitable society. It involves a critical examination of existing systems and structures, often from the perspective of the marginalised, and proposes alternative ways of thinking and acting to achieve liberation”. 

In order to bring focus specifically to the Afrikan experience at the level of shared core oneness that this primary people of creation naturally hold, adaptation of the sourced detail is considered apt. Alteration can also take into account that liberation (as described in the source) is seen as an outcome rather than a process. In the context of this discussion the liberator role has its process of engagement in the form liberation. Here, both the role and the process function to yield the outcome of liberty.  In making changes deemed appropriate something like the following may result:  

“The philosophy of Afrikan liberation, also known as Afrikan liberatory philosophy, is a self-determined philosophical approach to empower the role of the Afrikan liberator and its engagement in the process of Afrikan liberation to bring forth Afrikan liberty. It seeks to free Afrikan souls from ill-imposition and establish just Afrikan society of rightful order here, there and elsewhere. It involves a critical examination of existing systems and structures, from a standpoint rooted in the Afrikan worldview and empowers Afrikan souls to think for themselves and uprightly act in their best interest to realise Afrikan liberty regardless of their geographical locale”.  

Unfortunately, others that mean the Afrikan ill, may seek to deny Afrikan liberatory philosophy and instead attempt to push and peddle oppositional ‘philosophical’ content. Any such oppositional content is tantamount to anti-Afrikan propaganda that may attempt to install some sense of being less-than, helpless, defeated, discouraged or worse amongst Afrikan souls.     

Indeed, there are lessons in this for Afrikan souls even at the person level of day-to-day living. Here, Afrikan soul can do themselves a great service to empower themselves with self-determined liberatory philosophy. At the same time, attempting to push a sense of helplessness, negative defeatist attitudes and the like through wilfully destructive gossip-mongering or the spreading of falsehoods is despicable at best. To wilfully engage in such disorder is nothing short of self-destruction by proxy.   

Surely, Afrikan souls have a duty and responsibility to themselves to secure their liberty here, there and elsewhere and safeguard against a downward spiral towards doom.  In this the recovery of self-knowledge and authentic cultured living (creatively restored or otherwise) is key. After all, civilisation is not of happenstance.
