CHAPTER

Black Internationalism and the Hypocrisy of State Perception

This chapter explores the concept of black internationalism and its connection to the struggles of black Americans, highlighting the double standards in how it is perceived by the state compared to the internationalism of the capitalist class. It discusses the historical internationalism of black people and the contradictions they face in their fight for freedom, as well as the complexities of their engagement in anti-colonialism and anti-communism. The chapter also delves into the interaction metaphors of the black scare and red scare in US capitalist racist society and examines the conception of capitalist racism rooted in racial slavery.
