James Boggs was a revolutionary thinker, auto worker, and organizer who rooted his politics in the lived realities of Black labor in the heart of U.S. industrial capitalism. Born in Alabama and radicalized in Detroit’s auto factories, Boggs brought a sharp, dialectical approach to understanding how automation, imperialism, and racial capitalism were reshaping the terrain of struggle. He rejected mechanical formulas and called instead for revolutionary clarity grounded in concrete conditions—insisting that the fight for Black liberation was inseparable from the fight to build a new, humane society beyond exploitation. Alongside Grace Lee Boggs, he emphasized the role of political education, self-organization, and the transformation of consciousness, especially among those cast aside by both capital and the state. Boggs challenged the movement to move beyond protest alone, and to build power from the ground up through sustained organizing, visionary leadership, and community control. His life was a testament to the belief that revolution is not just an event, but a long process of building, learning, and transforming people into agents of their own liberation.
