Capitalism to Communalism:White supremacy has always feared one thing above all: Black unity. Because when we move together, we become ungovernable.

Unity as a Threat

From plantation to prison, from COINTELPRO to stop-and-frisk, the throughline of white supremacist strategy has remained unchanged: divide, disrupt, disarm. Because they know — as history has proven — that Black togetherness is the death of their order. We don’t need permission to be powerful. But we do need each other. This is not a metaphor. It’s a survival strategy. And yet, we’ve been trained to fear each other more than we fear the system. That’s capitalism’s genius — it conditions disconnection. You don’t trust your neighbor. You don’t know your community. You hustle alone. You suffer alone. You compete with the very people who could save you. But here’s the truth: White supremacy cannot survive Black collectivism. Capitalism cannot survive Black cooperation. Autocracy cannot survive Black consciousness. So, we must get serious about the work of reconnection. This is not a side issue. This is the foundation.The Mind Trap — How Capitalism Colonizes the Black Psyche

Before they could control our bodies, they had to conquer our minds.

That’s capitalism’s first move: make you believe that struggle is your fault. That poverty is a personal failure. That your enemy is the person next to you — not the system choking you both.

And it works, because capitalism is a master illusionist. It sells us freedom — but delivers exploitation. It promises opportunity — but enforces hierarchy. It dangles hope — while draining our time, our energy, our health, our spirit. Capitalism turns everything — and everyone — into a product. Our labor. Our art. Our joy. Even our pain. It isolates us, then sells us a connection it can monetize. It teaches us that worth is tied to productivity — and productivity to exhaustion.

Even so-called “Black excellence” gets caught in the trap. Because the closer we get to success on capitalist terms, the further we are pulled from community. Excellence becomes exile. But we are not failures — we have been failed. We are not broken — we are being broken. Building What We Need — The Communalist Blueprint

Capitalism says we don’t have enough. Communalism proves that together, we have more than enough. The Black Infrastructure Trust (BIT) model proves this. It’s not a theory — it’s a strategy. A living example of how Black people can pool small contributions into real, lasting infrastructure.

                Imagine this:

Each gives $1 per week — [ A subscription model ]$4 per month. Who can't afford $48.00 for a yearly membership?

That’s $44,000 a month. Over $500,000 in a year. $528,000 to be exact. For just $48.00 a year you are a equal partner in a half million dollar business.

No grants. No banks. No strings.

           Now imagine what we do can with that: A childcare center that frees up working single mothers. And offers affordable childcare for the working poor.

BIT members get free childcare. Non-members pay just $300/month — not $1,500 like the capitalist market demands. This is communalism in motion.

It relieves suffering and recruits new members. It supports the people and grows the movement. With annual income of $500,000 The Black Infrastruture Trust can begin to address the needs of our community. Black corner stores, Beauty supply store to replace those outsiders who drain our money.

Just 11,000 Black people. Do you trust America more than people who share your reflection,struggles and pain?

And once we name the machine, we can stop feeding it. We must unlearn what they taught us about value, power, and freedom. If we don’t shift how we think, we’ll recreate the same systems with different faces. We’ll build Black capitalism instead of Black liberation. We’ll crown new oppressors instead of dismantling oppression. White supremacy knows this — that’s why it keeps us competing instead of connecting.
