Public Enemy Vinyl 1988

UK: My 1988 Vinyl Publc Enemy Album – “It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back!” (3.6.2025)

From 1945 to present – the US Military has killed 30 million people around the world enforcing regime change and the perpetuation of the predatory capitalist system. On September 11th – the US lost around 2,996 – a number that is dropping all the time. Following this episode, the powers that be in the US decided that the era of Black people making anti-Statist propaganda was over – and that now record companies were instructed to shift Black angst into the direction of making-money – as no other content would be tolerated. The point of this was to prevent a working-class, pro-Socialist movement forming around the edgy music of the Black Power movement. After 911, the very Eurocentric mechanism that had developed slavery and enforced racism – i.e. predatory capitalism – was to be the very same mechanism that would offer Black people freedom from future slavery – in a utopia were money can purchase a secure (gated community) existence “free” of racism.
