References to the so-called Global South too often primarily connotes the idea of Latin American and Caribbean nations to the geographic south of the United States, as well as African Union nations and a select few in the Middle East, including the Republic of Yemen. While this notion is a factual articulation of the “Global South” parlance, it also carries an Anglo-centric lens that doesn’t consider the fact that the “Global South” is both a preposition and a position in the larger social order of racial capitalism. The Global South is a position in the sense that there are myriad examples that vindicate the assertion of author and scholar Robert L. Allen that Black America is a semi-colony or what he refers to as domestic colonialism.

The notion that the “West,” responsible for the most horrific crimes in the annals of human history, could somehow be associated with the defense of something they called human rights was always an obscene proposition. But with the assistance of the human rights industry, which is infused with Eurocentrism and white saviorism, the collective West was given ideological cover to continue its project of racist plunder and colonial fascism after fascist forces were partially defeated in Europe with the end of the second imperialist war in 1945. Outside of Europe, in the colonized world where fascism was originally born and practiced as a value extraction process that materially created the “West,” colonial fascism continued but was given a new face and tagline.

52 years ago, on February 21st, the world lost the great anti-colonial fighter, Malcolm X. Around the world, millions pause on this anniversary and take note of the life and contribution of Brother Malcolm. Two years ago, I keynoted a lecture on the legacy of Malcolm X at the American University in Beirut, Lebanon. While I had long been aware of the veneration that Malcolm inspired in various parts of the world, I was still struck by the love and appreciation that so many have for Malcolm beyond activists in the black world. There are a number of reasons that might explain why, 52 years later, so many still pay homage to Malcolm.
