Sobre la decolonialidad negra marxista

On black marxist decoloniality

Este artículo analiza la complementariedad del marxismo (la versión democrática del siglo XXI) y la decolonización (la decolonialidad radical del siglo XXI) como teorías vivas e ideas verdaderas de liberación. Se centra en las articulaciones del marxismo y la liberación negra hechas por figuras negras selectas, como Aimé Cesaire, Abdel Khaliq Mahgoub, Amílcar Cabral y Walter Rodney. Dichas figuras produjeron lo que aquí se presenta como decolonialidad marxista negra. En el centro de esta decolonialidad marxista negra se encuentran las intersecciones del marxismo y la decolonización para ahondar el análisis del capitalismo y el colonialismo como fuentes inextricablemente entrelazadas de problemas modernos. No solo se amplía el marxismo ortodoxo para reflexionar sobre la condición Negra sino que también se democratiza para abrirlo y acoger otros movimientos de liberación antirracistas, antiesclavitud, anticapitalistas, anticolonialistas y sexistas antiheteropatriarcales. La decolonización del siglo XX también se extiende más allá de su captura por las elites burguesas que quisieron reemplazar los colonialistas blancos sin cambiar el sistema-mundo moderno con sus jerarquías raciales y su ideología de género.
