GARVEYISM DEFENDS
OPPRESSION OF NEGROES

the natural dissatisfaction of the masses arising
out cf the failure of GarveyiSm to carry on any
struggle for the masses in these places. The
glamour of the sham struggle for Africa could
serve the Carney msleaders only for a time.
Garveyism makes no fight on the lynching ter
ror of the bosses, but with the National Associa-
ton for the Advancement of Colored People
spreads the illusion that the bosses will them
selves stop their own lynching terror, will pun
ish themselves for lynching Negroes. The Negro
World of May 10. 1880, childshly calls upon
President Hoover, ally of the Ku Klux Khan and
the Southern lly-whites chief of the treacher-
Gus republican party, which has consistently be-
trayed the struggles of the Negro masses, to
send an army of Negro workers into the South
to shoot down his fellow irnperialsts:
Looks to Oppressors to Stop Oppression.
Can America look the civilized world in the
face, in view of this apathy regarding the crimes
done in the Southland? Is justice dead? Is honor
lost?... Why not Mr.. President, marshall and
despatch black army down south?.. Why not
try it, Mr.. PRESIDENT"
Was ever more ludicrous example of the petty
bourgeosies efforts to camouflage the role of i'm
perialsm? OF utter confusion? OF treacherous
betrayal of the struggle of the Negro masses?
Garveyisn does not recognize the right of the
Negro majorities in the BLACK Belt of the
southern states to have their own form of gov
eminent and to control that government and the
white minorities in its territory deciding its
relations with other governments and specifically
with the bourgeois United States government on
the question of separation, if the Negro masses
so desire. The Communist Party demands this
right of self-determination for the Negro mas
ses. And the Communist demands are as shock
ing to Garveyism as to the white ruling class of
the South whose wealth and position" are based
upon the frightful oppression and bare-faced
robbery of the Negro masses
Wants West Indians to Abandon Homeland.
The population of the West Indies are over
whelningly Negro. Yet here again Garveyism
has no solution for these Negroes except the sur
render of their homeland and emigration to
Africa In Central America the population is
predominantly Indian and Negro, but here again
Garveyism calls for surrender and retreat. With
a number of strong branches in the West Indies,
with Carney himself and his pocket international
offices in Jamaica Garveyism yet does not raise
the question of a federated West Indies, of the
right OF self-determination for the West Indian
masses
On the contrary, Garveyism defends the status
quo, upholds imperialism! In his Jamaica paper
The Blackman Marcus Garvey gives to the JAM
aica masses the treacherous and slavish advice
that in their struggle against imperialism op-
preston, they must do nothing that would Of
OppIeSSOTS. Inc oppressed colonial
masses, Carney says, would not dare to accept
and foster something that was tabooded by the
mother country" This is the same as telling
the Negro masses that they dare not struggle
against imperialsst oppression. For, of course,
such struggles tabooded by the mother
country And significantly, to Marcus Garvey
the depressing imperialism which murders and
enslaves the Negro masses is the mother coun-
try"
Negro workers! Only by revolutionary strug-
gle against imperialism and the imperialist OPP
pressors can real Negro liberation be achieved
Only the Communist Party prosecutes the strug-
gle for the overthrow of Imperialism, for real
liberation for the oppressed masses of all races
The Communist Party is the party equally of
the Negro and white masses, the party of all
oppressed classes. Join the Communist Party!
Support its struggle against the capitalist bos-
ses! Fight lynching Demand the right of self
determination for the Negro masses of Africa,
OF the United States, of the West Indies, etc.!
