    No the organization was not, you can read alot of bobby seal and cleaver and you can tell they were very outspoken against capitalism and promoted socialism, but the main org was about black liberation. They did not walk around waving hammsick logos calling themselves maoists

            so every single gay rights, womens rights, racial or indigenous theyre all secretly communists trying to take over the world? anyone the KKK calls a communist to you is a communist?.. Huey Newton would be another story, if this was a thread about him I would say yes, because he said words like capitalism and socialism all the time

                  lmao you don’t know shit. talking out of your ass abt how the panthers weren’t communist despite mountains of evidence existing to the contrary - idgi. i also don’t get the anger at the insinuation that Tupac had some good ideas and wasn’t some stereotypical ganglord - the exact narrative the mainstream wants us to believe. we’re the conspiracists for not biting the racist media hook? i just don’t get it.

                    I dont understand why I have to keep repeating the same things over and over. I literally said multiple times I’m fan of his, I’m a fan of rap music, I literally posted a rap video here yesterday …and you’re asking why I’m so angry at the thought that tupac had good ideas… what? i don’t even know what to say…

      You clearly need to educate yourself on the panthers. I suggest starting with Newton’s revolutionary suicide, and the book “black against empire”. The founders were explicitly Marxist-Leninists, read everything they could by Lenin, Marx, Stalin, Engels, supported Cuba, China (even sold mao’s red book to raise funds), visited China, etc.

        they didn’t promote themselves as maoists especially not at first it was about black liberation, alot of people were surprised to learn including their own members they had such socialist views. The news declared them the black version of the KKK if you recall

          Do less talking, and more reading, from people who founded or were in the party, like what I suggested to you above. What the news said about the panthers is almost entirely false.

                    never said any of that, is it ableism to point out someone is a delusional schizophrenic in the middle of a psychotic episode? I don’t see how…
