intercommunalism is notable in that it was an attempt to sketch out a post-nationalist political vehicle during the context of the 1970s.

This talk discussed the growing relevance of survival programs amid ecological crises and increasing state violence. I also discussed the theory of intercommunalism, self-organized movements, and anti-state socialist/communist histories.

Revolutionary internationalism was a core part of the Black Panther Party. Huey Newton specifically developed the theory of intercommunalism to counter reactionary nationalism and build solidarity with oppressed peoples all over the world.

Saying illegal immigration ain’t your fight is fascist.

Malik Rahim served as the chair of the New Orleans Black Panther Party. Since that time he has never stopped organizing. His unique approach—updating the politics of intercommunalism, rainbow coalitions, and municipalism—offers vital lessons for today's movements. (📷: Todd Sanchioni)

“We are witnessing the emergence of the material basis for transnational solidarity of a new type, one conducted not between national parties but between global cities in struggle against a common foe. As we’ll see, this new type of solidarity was predicted by revolutionaries decades ago.”

The Black Panthers had the best dialectic of communism under the ideology of revolutionary intercommunalism. Google it.
The Black Panthers weren’t just infiltrated because they were Black, they were infiltrated because their communist ideology had began to influence not just Black people, but other groups within this country

Communism was working and the FBI and CIA went through great lengths to stop the spread

"The Black Panthers were a Marxist group based on the ideology of revolutionary intercommunalism, a theory formed by Huey Newton that recharacterized imperialism and its relation to black subjugation."

I really like what the Black Panthers termed Revolutionary Intercommunalism, which to me ends up being a very Marxist dialectical argument for international anarchist communism being the only way our world could truly thrive and that it needs always be our fight

"establishing ties with other black liberation movements around the world, they were able to spread revolutionary intercommunalism and influence other areas of the world."

Elite Capture by @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social is a good one but also like, technofeudalism by yanis (I forget how to spell his last name) and also Intercommunalism by Huey p newton. For the last one you can just go read his speech when he introduced it.

The Black Panther Party’s Survival Program is an example of Dual Power, and development Intercommunalism was very much learned thru Indigenous groups, about how Turtle Island survives, and how we The People should be loyal to Turtle Island, and against the Enemy: Bourgeois Neocolonial Empire “USA”

It is impossible to know your rights when the laws are continually changing each and every day.

What was legal yesterday may not be legal tomorrow.

Revolution begins at home.

Case In point, Black Panthers Marxist Leninist and had the best understanding of dialectical and historical materialism as described by Huey P Newton in his speech about Revolutionary intercommunalism. Being completely anti ML would keep one away from that important work

You probably already found this, but this text I think is key for understanding the philosophical underpinnings of Newton's thought. I have an article on his idea of intercommunalism coming up in the Dutch edition of Jacobin.
