Barack Obama’s presidency created a rupture in the black American
radical tradition. The end of his administration creates an opportunity
to rekindle that proud legacy, and to reject the politics of
intervention and mass death that emanates from every American
presidential administration.
UNAC organizations know that the imperialist project is bipartisan.
Barack Obama began the war for regime change in Syria and Donald Trump,
despite making claims to the contrary, continues it. The need to expose
the American effort to dominate the world continued even as UNAC members
met. While speakers pointed to the dangers that America inflicts upon
the world, the United States government shot down a Syrian jet and
increased the risk of conflict with Russia.
