    Did you ever hear of Marcus Garvey (or other back to Africa movements)?
    — Ecurb
    No, and neither has anybody else because they represented ridiculously tiny numbers far below the threshold of significance as representing popular sentiment.

    Neither was the U.S., despite the rose-colored glasses through which MAGA seems to view it.

    I don't even want your Marxist utopianism: I was just pointing out that Africa has never aligned with it because everything about your entire view of history is utter garbage.

    Let's see: you've never heard of Marcus Garvey, but it is MY view of history that is "utter garbage"? Did I get that right? Also, you appear to think anyone who disagrees with you is a "Marxist". Where do you come up with this nonsense? I assure you I am not a "Marxist" -- but most of those who are probably know more about history than you do. Which is evidently no great mastery.

    As a public educational service (which you apparently need) , here's a link:

    "Jamaican activist Marcus Garvey (1887–1940) organized the Universal Negro Improvement Association in Harlem in 1917. By the early 1920s, his program of African liberation and racial uplift had attracted millions of supporters, both in the United States and abroad."
