Garvey was a self-serving profiteer pandering to Black nationalism to garner support. He owned a piece of the steamship company that would have transported his followers back to Africa. He had no working class anti-racist line. He was a vent for legitimate anti-racist anger of the masses , but he only served the interest of the capitalist class. He never fueled class struggle by the Black masses.
