UJAMAA: Cooperative Economics or Collective Failure?

🎙️ Outlaw Radeo Podcast
📺 Streaming on 2RAW4TV

Ujamaa is more than a Kwanzaa word.
It’s a test of whether we actually believe in collective survival.

In this feature episode of Outlaw Radeo, we strip Ujamaa of aesthetics and nostalgia and examine it as a living economic principle—one that Black communities have practiced, abandoned, misunderstood, and are now being forced to reconsider.

This is a heavy, necessary conversation about why individual success narratives are failing us, why “Black buying power” doesn’t equal power, and what cooperative economics really demands of us in the present moment.

In this episode, we break down:

* What Ujamaa actually means beyond slogans and seasonal rituals
* The history of Black cooperative economics in Africa and the Black diaspora
* Why hyper-individualism has weakened Black political and economic power
* The difference between collective ownership and collective fantasy
* Real-world models for collective survival, mutual aid, and shared infrastructure
* The cultural, psychological, and political barriers holding us back

This is not a motivational talk.
This is not nostalgia.

This is a strategic examination of whether Ujamaa is a real pathway forward—or a principle we invoke without practicing.

🎧 This is a tentpole episode with long-term replay value for educators, organizers, entrepreneurs, and anyone serious about Black economic liberation.
