How Britain Used India To Replace Slave Labour . Mauritius was completely uninhabited by humans before European arrival.

WHO WERE THE CIVILIZED AND WHO WERE THE SAVAGES? They said they came to civilise. But what they brought was nothing but savagery. From Haiti to Australia to the Pacific Islands, this video unpacks the brutal truth behind Europe’s so-called ‘civilising mission.’ The Taíno and Arawak peoples of Haiti, once thriving communities with deep spiritual and agricultural systems, were nearly wiped out within decades of Columbus’s arrival. They were enslaved, mutilated, and hunted like animals all in the name of gold and empire. In Australia, British colonisers declared the land ‘Terra Nullius’ - or nobody’s land - while thousands of Aboriginal people were massacred in cold blood. In Queensland, it’s thought over 24,000 Indigenous lives were taken by government-sanctioned forces. This was not law and order. This was ethnic cleansing, dressed in European uniforms. Across the Pacific, the lie of civilisation took the form of ‘Blackbirding’ - kidnapping tens of thousands from Melanesia and forcing them into backbreaking labour on plantations. Meanwhile, imported diseases erased entire communities. This is not ancient history. The scars are still fresh. The descendants of these communities are still here, still fighting, still remembering. Because colonisation was never about civilisation, it was about extraction, domination and the silencing of Indigenous voices. This video is not just history. It’s resistance. It’s about reclaiming the narrative from Columbus and Cook and all the myths they stood on. It’s about asking, in the face of genocide and greed: Who were the real savages?

🔴Kwame Ture on Why Karl Marx Did Not Invent Socialism and the Myth That African Liberation Must Be Separated from It Kwame Ture explains here that Karl Marx did not invent socialism and that socialism emerges from material conditions, not Europe. Marx did not create socialism any more than Newton created gravity. He observed, analyzed, and systematized laws that exist independently of him. This directly challenges the claim that scientific socialism is a Western imposition on African liberation because it “came after” Marx. The issue is not chronology, but development. African peoples did not need Marx to recognize exploitation, struggle against domination, or arrive at socialist conclusions. As Ture explains, wherever capital seeks to dominate labor, struggle emerges as a material fact. African resistance to slavery, colonialism, and wage exploitation demonstrates this historically. The clip makes clear that socialism is not “a white thing,” not a European invention, and not alien to African struggle. What Marx contributed was a scientific method for understanding these realities, not the realities themselves. African liberation movements independently developed socialist conclusions as colonial domination matured into capitalism. This affirms African autonomy rather than denying it. Separating Pan-Africanism from scientific socialism on the basis that it predates Marx is not a defense of African history; it is a misunderstanding of how revolutionary struggle develops under material conditions.

THE MYTH THAT AFRICANS ‘SOLD THEIR PEOPLE’ Europeans have attempted to distance themselves from - and avoid accountability for - their atrocities during the centuries-long slave trade by propelling narratives that it was Africans who sold them slaves. On this version, Africans share the blame for the horrors faced by Black people. During his opening remarks on African identity and the decolonisation of education in Africa and the Caribbean at the University of West Indies in Jamaica, at the PJ Patterson Institute for Africa Caribbean Advocacy, vice chancellor Hilary Beckles spoke about the importance of reclaiming our narratives. As Beckles puts it, when history is told from the gunman's perspective, you inevitably get a distorted picture. Beckles dispels the myth that Africans willingly sold their fellow Africans into slavery. While he notes that there were certainly corrupt individuals back then, just as there are now, they were a minority. In Nazi Germany, for example, there were Jewish people who collaborated with the regime, yet no one blames them for the Holocaust. So why is this the line of argument used when it comes to slavery? Most Africans who took part in the slave trade did so for survival and did not have much of a choice. When European narratives paint our ancestors as 'business partners,' it is misleading - a business partner is free to not partake in a business venture without consequences, whereas Africans were not. Moreover, Europeans exacerbated divisions amongst our people, spurring ethnic conflict and wars amongst Africans. It was often ‘prisoners of war’ who were bought by Europeans from Africans. The European narrative has been used to further divide Black people across the world, thus continuing the divide-and-conquer tactics that have ensured African disunity and exploitation for centuries.
