The Third World Manifesto

What's the next Revolution?

55
The Third World Manifesto
National Review

With all wrongs that our world has come to be constructed. We find ourselves, too often internalizing more the negatives definitions of our beings. We come to accept this definition: Humans=Homo Sapiens: Top Echelon mammals that mastered critical thinking skills and the utilization of objects to conquer the world.The Homo Sapiens is an expert in the Art of Conflict and Territory Acquiring. We forget that one other major thing that defines the HOMO SAPIENS is its ability to GROUP, COLLABORATE, and Work towards a UTILITARIAN GOAL.

I think to myself what a great EMOTION might it have been when people connected for The Declaration Of Independence, The Emancipation Proclamation, The Communist Manifesto, The Civil Rights Act, The Creation Of The United Nations, The Fall of The Berlin Wall, etc. At times, we see humans sacrificing themselves for the betterment of the future. WE NEED TO MAKE IT COOL AGAIN.

What will it be if Great Minds, Dedicated Individuals, Dreams and Future Orientated souls collided their efforts for THE SALVATION OF THE THIRD WORLD? What will be THE THIRD WORLD MANIFESTO? I thought to myself that it might include 6 MAJOR TENETS:

  1. Assistance = Dependence. We need REAL ECONOMIC- INTELLECTUAL- CULTURAL INDEPENDENCE.

For centuries, the THIRD WORLD was exploited by those that entitle THEMSELVES the FIRST WORLD title. After the major stream of independence of the 20th century. The FIRST WORLD was still able to disguise methods to keep entire continents and cultures under INTELLECTUAL-CULTURAL and mostly ECONOMIC dependence.

These days, it rarely comes as a surprise for operating FIRST WORLD NGO’s (NonGovernmental Organisations) and other enterprises named in the duty of assisting struggling cultures and people to be the same ones operating on their oppression.

REAL SOLUTION: If you want to help us, PROVIDE US WITH TOOLS THAT ALLOWS OUR ECONOMIC-INTELLECTUAL AND CULTURAL DEPENDENCE.

2. Veto = Imperialism. NOT FIGURATIVE EQUALITY. We NEED REAL EQUALITY INSTEAD.

One SWAHILI PROVERB says “The SIMPLEST Questions are the HARDEST to Answer” - << Why is that the USA, CHINA, FRANCE, RUSSIA, UK, are the only ones with the UN VETO power? Is it a product of Imperialism, Colonialism? Are some countries more qualified to rule the world? Are we really equal in the United Nations Square? Are our voices equally heard? Hence, a THIRD WORLD MANIFESTO would encourage such injustices to be addressed. If not a THIRD WORLD ALLIANCE would threaten to leave such Self Serving Corrupt Systems.

Do we really live in a world of CIVIL DIPLOMACY or we still are living in one CONSTANT MILITARY- ARMS INTIMIDATION ? If the latter Suggestion is correct that we really live in a world of who’s got the best ARMS RACE? The question: How do we Stop such intimidation; should be the PRIORITY of the THIRD WORLD .

3. Let’s STOP them from RECITING OUR STORIES. We need authenticity and FIRST-HAND recitation of our STORIES-HISTORY-LEGACY.

We often hear: Africa is POOR, Africans are STARVING of Famine, Africans are quite ILLITERATE, Africans WERE BLESSED by COLONISATION. In Africa, there was no CIVILISATION wiser than what the EUROPEANS Implanted. All these things share one thing in common: A negative connotation of the African civilization. Where are these stories mostly sold? The WEST (EUROPE-USA).

But the question is WHY? Why are these stories being perpetuated? What do they do to their listeners? What do they do to AFRICANS? PSYCHOLOGICAL SELF-LOATHING. This is why AFRICANS, THIRD WORLD-ians need to start SELLING THEIR STORIES more.

After all, which voice do you trust more: THE OBSERVER. Vs. THE INHABITANT.

4.COLONISATION=WESTERNISATION=ASSIMILATION. We need an AFRICANITY-NEGRITUDE-INDIGENOUS CULTURAL RENAISSANCE. Let’s recover what they tried to ERASE and make it COOOOOOOOOOL.

People of the THIRD WORLD need to REALIZE that GREATNESS is achieved through ORIGINALITY. We need to go back to OUR ANCESTORS: Philosophies, Religions, Traditions, etc. Whatever, THEY called PRIMITIVE is our IDENTITY and our SALVATION. With the recovery of IDENTITY comes PRIDE-PATRIOTISM and MILITANCY. Yes, there things to be learned from COLONISATION but the ESSENCE of GREATNESS is through a GREAT SENSE of IDENTITY. This may go from FASHION, MUSIC, etc.

5. SACRIFICE=SELFLESS ATTITUDES = We owe it to our KIDS. It’s all about the KIDS anyway!

Whenever REVOLUTIONS spark up, most of the REVOLUTIONARIES want it better for their KIDS, SONS, and DAUGHTERS. When one goes to war, it is to secure the future of the HOMELAND and its PEOPLE and that is the TYPE of ATTITUDE that has to be BRED in a COLLECTIVE of THIRD WORLD-ians.

6. A BUNDLE OF STICKS can resist any man’s power but A STICK can’t =UNIFICATION.

If the NEXT REVOLUTION is to be the THIRD WORLD’s, it is going to come through COLLABORATION, GROUPING and HUGE SOLIDARITY of All those that SHARE the THIRD WORLD ATTRIBUTES. UNITED WE STAND

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
