Emma Dabiri Instagram – Happy Birthday Huey Newton 🖤
Honestly I can’t even believe this man was a real life person, that he existed and that he loved us so much
One of the greatest thinkers of the 20th century. An incomparable strategist. A man whose racist teachers dismissed as illiterate and below average intelligence but who would go on to translate the theory’s of philosophers ranging from Plato to Nietzsche to practical application for the people, and the use of the Black Panthers, who gained a PhD in the History of Consciousness while running the party, who eschewed personal fame to ensure Power to the People, (this slogan and the theoretical rationale behind is inspired by Nietzsches Will To Power) who endured years of prison and solitary confinement out of his commitment to liberation, who knew liberation could only be achieved through the hard work of internationalism solidarity (rather than more popular identitarian rhetoric often employed by charlatans to manipulate people). A principled and incomparably brave human being. I wonder what use his mighty intellect might have been put to if it hadn’t been preoccupied with finding a way for the people to survive.
Much love to you Huey Newton. One of a kind #hueynewton #powertothepeople | Posted on 18/Feb/2024 00:49:35
