Unraveling what this means for antifascists and our strategies is the task at hand, and Hamerquist proceeds to lay down some important preliminary realities that we need to deal with. Almost twenty years later, what is most striking is how prescient so many of Hamerquist's observations were, not only about the ambiguously dynamic appeal of fascism, but also about the specific characteristics of antifascist work and the advantages and disadvantages they confer. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJ. Sakai follows Hamerquist, interrogating his analysis as he pushes it forward. Sakai argues against the idea that fascism comes primarily from the working class, just as he extends the point that fascism is not an inherently or essentially \"white\" ideology. A discussion of different forms of capitalist rule, the class structure of global imperialism, and the history of anticapitalist critique within both Italian and German \"classical\" fascism, flows into a contemporary contextualization of fascism within the neocolonial context; throughout, Sakai shows that support for fascism comes primarily from middle class men who are losing or being denied their traditional privileges, what many consider their birthrght, as a result of capitalist and imperialist \"progress.\" As such, a thread of parasitism and social revanchism is traced, connecting the tax resister from the American midwest to the racist bonehead in neoliberal Britain to the Taliban fighter in Afghanistan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShorter texts from the ARA Research Bulletin, Mark Salotte and Xtn of ARA Chicago, place these theoretical insights in the concrete context of the political and physical fight against the far right, while also recovering the connections between this fight and the broader rise of anticapitalist struggle at the time. Militant antifascist activism constituted an important factor in hemming in and ultimately thwarting the attempts at advance being made by several leading fascist groups at the time -- it was a form of struggle that worked. Without providing any kind of blueprint for the current resurgent antifa movement, they nonetheless provide insights and frameworks that should be examined and integrated, so that those taking up the work today can draw upon what was done before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBreaking with established Left practice,\u003cem\u003e Confronting Fascism\u003c\/em\u003e attempts to deal with the questions of fascism and antifascism in a serious and non-dogmatic manner. Attention is paid to to the class appeal of fascism, its continuities and breaks with the \"regular\" far-right and also even with the Left, the ways in which the fascist movement is flexible and the ways in which it isn't. Left failures, both in opposing fascism head-on, and also in providing a viable alternative to right-wing revolt, are also dealt with at length.The lived experiences of anti-fascist activists inform this work, and more attention is paid to actual historical developments and facts than to neat theories that explain everything but only coincidentally intersect with reality. Understanding the relationship of fascism, the State, left reformism and what it means to be revolutionary are priorities in a world where it seems increasingly true that those who do not advance will have to retreat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFirst published in 2002, \u003cem\u003eConfronting Fascism \u003c\/em\u003ewas downloaded and purchased by thousands following the Trump election in 2016, making it suddenly \"out of print\".

They were the Red Army Faction. Seven years later, almost all of the original combatants were in prison or dead, yet, through their example, they had inspired a militant and illegal support movement, comrades willing to take up arms in defense of the prisoners. 1977 was to be a year of reckoning. Through daring attacks and devastating errors, the West German guerilla brought their society to the brink, mounting one of the most desperate and incredible campaigns of asymmetrical warfare ever waged in postwar Europe. That they failed is no excuse to not learn their story, to see who they were and what they fought for – and, most tragically, to bear witness to the lengths the state would go to silence them, to make sure no one would ever again make such an attempt to free the prisoners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBook Details\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eAuthor: André Moncourt\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eAuthor: J.

The essay was subsequently reprinted in various forums.

At the time that he wrote this essay, Day was a leading intellectual within the Love and Rage Revolutionary Anarchist Federation. In it he posits that anarchism has eschewed its revolutionary responsibilities, being an ideology of feeling good about oneself and one's ability to \"keep your hands clean\", while willfully overlooking the fact that this ability is largely a consequence of having failed to carry out a single successful revolution in the 20th century. As such, anarchism has retreated to a role of the perennial gadfly, ever ready to explain where those who carried out revolutions went wrong, while never actually able to explain its own frustrating lack of success. Day goes on to claim that unequal development in different countries, the realities of military defense, and the requirement for an anti-statist anticapitalist revolution to be international, all constitute serious challenges to some of the axioms of anarchist ideology, regardless of the strengths or weaknesses of individual anarchists. “The Historical Failure of Anarchism” was written for a conference on anarchist strategy in 1996 and subsequently became the object of controversy within the Love and Rage Revolutionary Anarchist Federation where it was seen as a break with anarchism. The resulting debates were one of several factors that precipitated the breakup of Love and Rage in 1998.

And it was in the prison movement that he found his place in the battlefield. Although he made revolutionary theory his work, his life was rooted in a time of urban guerrillas and the armed struggle. Which makes his writing much more difficult to read, but with a warning of danger and commitment that is so often missing in these neo-colonized times between the storms…\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYaki soon became a leading activist in the small prison collectives in his state. First in the Stateville Prisoners Organization, which quickly grew into the New Afrikan Prisoners Organization. There were groups in Stateville, Pontiac, and Menard prisons, as well as individual members in other prisons outside Illinois and rads on the street. Yaki also became an influence in less public organizations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne thing he never became was well-known. There were definite reasons for this. In part, because Yaki was a very private person who rarely talked about his inner life or childhood, and who never wanted to write about his own past to a curious public. Becoming a radical celebrity was not anywhere in his plans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYaki was also unknown because of the role he chose for himself. Much of his writings were not for the public, or even the community as a whole. Most of them were cadre teachings. Typically, Yaki wrote and spoke as a teacher for those already New Afrikan revolutionaries who were cadre. Those who had accepted the responsibility of being organizers and local teachers themselves. Although he was often repeating or underscoring basic political lessons, sometimes these were almost technical discussions. Craft discussions. In the same way that young Five-percenters proudly talk about, “i can do the math,” “i know the numbers.” And as such his words weren’t meant to be entertaining, and rads often complained of finding them as hard to read as some textbook. Far from easy reading. But it’s like, if you wanted to be able to design the flow of water through a hydoelectric plant or do brain surgery on an infant, at the very start you’d be cracking the books late into the night and studying for all you were worth. Yaki didn’t think that trying to transform society was any easier…\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen Yaki started out in prison, he had amassed a real library of political and history books, together with magazines and files of documents and correspondence. And he spent hours and hours studying and writing. This gradually became more and more choked off by prison authorities. As he put it: “Inside it only grows worse, not better. Because they keep changing wardens, and every warden has to prove that they’ve made some change or new shit they can point to. Which is only more restrictions.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy the start of the 21st century, he was limited to one thin cardboard case, only a few inches high, which had to hold any books, magazines, newspapers, notebooks, files, letters, blank paper, pencil and pens he had in his cell. And he had to work mandatory eight-hour shifts every day at the usual makework prison jobs (such as counting out and counting in the checkers pieces in the day room), which cut down on his intellectual hours. All this led him to decide to center himself on one major project which only required two books, a reappraisal and explanation of Frantz Fanon’s great revolutionary writing, \u003cem\u003eWretched of the Earth\u003c\/em\u003e…\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere, Yaki is on a mission. To make up for the misunderstanding of Fanon’s politics that he and so many of his young rebel comrades once had. To help guide the study by newer rebels of this complex and difficult reading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eWhat People Are Saying\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“i got out of Folsom \u0026amp; one of the first things i got was a kalishnikov ak-47, 7.62x39 … Needless to say, without the requisite consciousness, the gun \u0026amp; i soon parted company.

What can be gained from \"rocking the boat\", even if it is true that the campaign against the World Trade Organization may contain certain unsavory elements? Who poses the greatest threat, who should be enemy number one, a few local demagogues or the barons of international capital? Far be it from us at Anti-Fascist Forum to argue against fighting the World Trade Organization and other planning bodies of international capital. But the reasons why people choose to struggle against the WTO, and the ideas underlying their fight, are vitally important to all of us who would like to see capitalism overthrown and class society come to an end. The authors of these texts, most of which have already been published on the internet, have all observed reactionary tendencies within the struggle against global capitalism which go beyond the presence of a few individual crackpots. While the Left currently dominates on the streets and, to a lesser degree, in the popular imagination, this is not necessarily a permanent affair. Without learning the lessons of history and debunking the pseudo-progressivism of the liberal left, revolutionaries may find themselves increasingly marginalized in a movement that whitewashes blood-drenched \"local capitalism\" and lays the basis for heightened exploitation around the world. As we have argued in our magazine, Left-wing weaknesses, both intellectual and organizational, provide a vacuum that is readily filled by the far-right. At the very least, the anti-WTO campaign is a good example of this.

That placement conveys more than a sense or understanding of the RAF’s praxis. It transmits a connection in a visceral way. Not since reading Ten Days that Shook the World have I been so drawn into a political narrative. Reading like a historical thriller notwithstanding, Projectiles lets us see a rare confluence of theory and practice of which anyone who aspires to make revolution should be aware. The RAF may no longer be with us, but it has prepared the ground for and can yet aid the current movement for the most equitable social reality in which all people will have the greatest possible freedom to develop their full human potential. Nowhere else has the RAF’s life, times, and legacy been so clearly laid out.” — Bill Dunne (political prisoner since 1979)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“This book about the Red Army Faction of American-occupied Germany is one that should be read by any serious student of anti-imperialist politics. “Volume 1: Projectiles for the People” provides a history of the RAF’s development through the words of its letters and communiqués. What makes the book especially important and relevant, however, is the careful research and documentation done by its editors. Their effort makes this work far more than a collection of communiqués. From this book you will learn the mistakes of a group that was both large and strong, but which (like our own home-grown attempts in this regard) was unable to successfully communicate with the working class of a “democratic” country on a level that met their needs. While the armed struggle can be the seed of something much larger, is also another means of reaching out and communicating with the people. Students interested in this historic era would do well to study this book and to internalize both the successes and failures of one of the largest organized armed anti-imperialists organizations operating in Western Europe since World War II.” —Ed Mead, former political prisoner, George Jackson Brigade\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\"Starting in the Sixties, a new revolutionary strategy began to plague the capitalist metropolis—the urban guerilla. Warfare once waged by peasant armies in the countryside of a Cuba, a China, or a Guinea-Bisseau, was suddenly transfered to small cells of ex-students in the imperialist centers of Berlin, Rome and New York. No urban guerrillas became more famed or more demonized than West Germany’s Red Army Faction (RAF). We knew their signature bold actions in the headlines: from the damaging bombing of the u.s. army V Corps headquarters in Hamburg in 1972, in response to Washington’s mining of Hanoi’s harbor in an escalation of the Vietnam War, to the kidnapping and later execution of the head of the West German industrialists association, in an effort to negotiate for the release of revolutionary prisoners. But we never heard their political voices. Since the RAF’s political statements, debates and communiqués were untranslated and unavailable in English even within the left.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\"Now, at last, a significant documentary history of the RAF has come into the spotlight, complete with a readable account of the postwar German New Left from which it emerged. Even better, this work was done by editors\/translators who reject the obedient capitalist media’s trivializing of the RAF as “pathological” death-wishing celebrities. In their hands, the words of the RAF are revealed as serious responses to the failure of parliamentary reformism, trade-unionism and pacifism, to stop the solidification of Germany’s own form of a neofascist capitalism (lightly cosmeticized with a layer of that numbing “consumer democracy”). The young RAF fighters hoped for liberation in their dangerous experiment but were willing to accept tragic consequences, and their story is emotionally difficult to read with eyes open. Controversial as the RAF was, their systematic torture in special “anti-terrorist” facilities stirred worldwide unease and even protest. In fact, those special prisons were the eagerly studied forerunners for the u.s. empire’s own latest human rights abuses, from Guantanamo to the domestic “maxi-maxi” prisons. We all and the RAF are much closer than the capitalist public wants to believe. It is all here, in this first volume of the Red Army Faction documentary histories, and we should thank all those who worked on this book.” —J.

It offers a remarkable wealth of source material in the form of statements and letters from the combatants, yet the authors manage to present it in a way that is both coherent and engaging. Evidence of brutal—and ultimately ineffective—attempts by the state to silence the voices of political prisoners serve as a timely and powerful reminder of the continued need for anti-imperialist prisoners as leaders in our movements today. At once informative and inspirational, this is a much-needed contribution to the analysis of armed struggle and the cycles of repression and resistance in Europe and around the world.” — Sara Falconer, Toronto Anarchist Black Cross Federation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“Armed struggle was one of the most controversial yet widespread phenomena of the worldwide revolutionary upsurge in the 1960s and 1970s—and the Red Army Faction was a centerpiece of this strategy in the imperial West. This valuable documentary history gathers RAF primary documents with an impressive set of contextual essays, providing the raw material necessary to understand the strategies and consequences of attacking from within the belly of the beast.” —Dan Berger, author of \u003cem\u003eOutlaws of America: The Weather Underground and the Politics of Solidarity\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“Of all the revolutionary organizations to have been forged by the so-called sixties generation, the German Red Army Faction has been perhaps the most mythologized and maligned.

Derbent, is an unusual and valuable contribution to understanding, renewing, and rebuilding the revolutionary option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe term “revolutionary” is used here to refer to something precise, namely action and reflection intended to bring about a revolution, a hegemonic change in the way society is organized, “bottom lining” the goals of liberation and building a new way of life for all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMilitary policy is a prerequisite for revolutionaries—in the sense that, without it, there can be no successful revolution. Those who neglect it, who think away from it as we so often do, may have nice ideas, but they are neglecting a question that will be necessary to address if they are ever to put those nice ideas into practice in a durable manner. Indeed, would-be revolutionaries who have no military policy are not revolutionaries at all, but only more people with political opinions. While Derbent does not belabor this point, it underlies everything addressed here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis essay is based on a talk given in Brussels at an event organized by the Bloc Marxiste-Léniniste in April 2006, and subsequently published in two parts in the Bloc ML’s magazine Clarté (#5 May 2006 and #6 December 2006). It was subsequently translated into German, Greek, and Italian, being debated and discussed by comrades throughout Europe, mainly within the Marxist-Leninist tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe present translation constitutes the first time this text is being made available to an English-reading audience—and specifically, to a North American one. The history of armed struggle in the united states and canada is necessarily different from that elsewhere; obviously, this is not Italy, or Algeria, or Nepal. The armed experience here has always been defined by the realities and contradictions of settler-colonialism, the tension between the ongoing  anticolonial resistance and the fact that any movement here must find its way on terrain claimed by the colonizer’s society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFurthermore, as in any overview of such a dense area of knowledge and activity, this is not an exhaustive study. More to the point, it is a study with a specific goal: to introduce us to the concepts of military doctrine, and to explain how these have been used and misused by revolutionary forces. Although the author mentions objective factors, there is no discussion of historical materialism or broader historical patterns or dynamics; for example, the relationship between global changes in the means of production and distribution, and the inevitable calling up of completely new forms of struggle from military doctrine to individual tactics. Likewise, the author presupposes revolutionary organization, but doesn’t have the space to go into what revolutionary class organization means in military practice (and vice-versa, dialectically).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYet it would be a cop-out to hold this specificity against the text, or to dismiss Derbent’s educational endeavor as a “European view” of little practical interest to those of us on Turtle Island. That is because this is not a “how-to-do-it,” but rather a “how-to-study-it,” paper. Surveying military experiences in various times and places—with particular attention paid to that period of the twentieth century marked by the presence of “real existing socialism” and ubiquitous anticolonial revolutions—in order to distill those elements, questions, and dilemmas that reoccur time and again; i.e., those that are universal. Laying out the background and consequences of already developed revolutionary policy considerations, in order to help us apply the lessons learned to our own context.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs such, this paper does not provide answers, it simply clarifies what some of the questions will be for those who choose to develop a revolutionary practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDerbent proceeds from the larger to the smaller, from the more general to the more specific. In this order, he defines and discusses revolutionary military policy (an overall military orientation \u0026amp; activity), military doctrine (a war plan), military development (organization of practical activity), the science of war (recognizing universal laws that always apply), the art of war (experience \u0026amp; mastery of the practice of warfare), strategy (a specific plan to achieve military goals in the existing overall situation), operational art (which connects strategy and tactics), and tactics (the means by which operations are carried out). The author examines how these different concepts are related to one another, how they have been articulated in different circumstances, and to what effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is far from a rah-rah, inspirational pep talk relying on heroic examples of rebel armed struggle. Instead, it is of necessity fairly abstract and formal—otherwise it would be 440 instead of just 40 pages long. In particular, its terminology conforms to professional military usage. A graduate of the u.s. army’s command \u0026amp; staff college at Fort Leavenworth would be at ease reading this paper, whose terminology and frame of mind would be familiar to them. While, on the other hand, a revolutionary who has never read Clausewitz along with Lenin and Mao’s military writings (“Lessons of the 1905 Uprising,” “Strategic Problems in the Anti-Japanese Guerrilla War,” etc. ) might find it difficult going.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAll the more reason why it should be read, studied, discussed, and built upon by comrades here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe complete text of this pamphlet is also \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/urbanguerilla.org\/categories-of-revolutionary-military-policy-t-derbent-april-2006\/\"\u003eavailable online on the urbanguerilla.org website\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBook Details\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eAuthor: T.

This was in response to the emergence of a new radical youth movement in the Federal Republic, the Autonomen, and an attempt to renew its ties to the radical left. The possibilities and perils of an armed underground organization relating to the broader movement are examined, and the RAF’s approach is contrasted to the more fluid and flexible practice of the Revolutionary Cells. At the same time, the history of the 2nd of June Movement (2JM), an eclectic guerilla group with its roots in West Berlin, is also evaluated, especially in light of the split that led to some 2JM members officially disbanding the organization and rallying to the RAF. Finally, the RAF’s relationship to the East German Stasi is examined, as is the abortive attempt by West Germany’s liberal intelligentsia to defuse the armed struggle during Gerhard Baum’s tenure as Minister of the Interior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDancing with Imperialism\u003c\/em\u003e will be required reading for students of the First World guerilla, those with interest in the history of European protest movements, and all who wish to understand the challenges of revolutionary struggle.

Prisoners have slowly begun to take an objective view of the matrix of u.s. colonialism from a dialectical perspective that informs Us that the settler government holds, dominates and exploits both external\/internal colonies. And that the old facade of “disadvantaged minorities” is giving way to the stark reality of submerged nations here under the blurry veneer of a so-called “united states.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis developing consciousness springs from a Revolutionary Nationalist overstanding of social development. Informed by even the most rudimentary application of dialectical materialism, one is easily drawn to the reality of New Afrika, Aztlan, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, Alaska and the Indigenous People being submerged and colonized – whole nations existing under the false patina of amerikkkanism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe greater Our overstanding of this reality, the less We are believing in, or relying on, the old obviously false social construct of “race” to define Ourselves and other oppressed people. Color, or “race” as a binary term to describe the shallow differences between humans – which has no scientific basis in reality – is not a deep enough, not sound, or reasonable enough, overstanding We can see to explain, confront and resolve Our problems. It’s been said that “the color of freedom in amerikkka is green.” This tells Us something about the false construct of “race,” no? It hints at the \u003cem\u003efact\u003c\/em\u003e that under the rubble of “race” is bedrock. And that bedrock, that solid foundation, is economics. Is capitalism. We can’t even discuss, or We shouldn’t even discuss, “racism” without mentioning and combining it with capitalism. For capitalism built around it the social construct of “race” as a motto, a defense and a justification for prolonged activity. Capitalism is the \u003cem\u003ematerial \u003c\/em\u003emanifestation; “race” is the \u003cem\u003eshadow\u003c\/em\u003e, or immaterial reality of what’s casted – as a consequence of the original form.

We’ll exhaust Ourselves to the point of madness trying to combat it alone without applying destructive force to the material thing that it reflects. To be “anti-racist” is to be anti-capitalist. We become anti-racists by not using binary terms constructed to promote and sustain “race.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Any attempt to destroy ‘racism’ without an explicit link to the struggle against capitalism ultimately serves only to reinforce ‘racist’ ideology and to shield capitalism from attack.  On the other hand, an attempt to combat capitalism without an explicit link to anti-racist discourse and struggle allows capitalism to use the belief in ‘race’ held by oppressed peoples and appeal to the ‘racism’ of citizens of the oppressive state, thus undermining all revolutionary initiative. This combat also requires that we begin to de-link ourselves from the use of language that reinforces and reproduces racial ideology, e.g. the terms ‘white’ and ‘black’ in references to the identity of peoples.”\u003cbr\u003e– Comrade Owusu Yaki Yakubu, \u003cem\u003eMeditations on Frantz Fanon’s Wretched of the Earth.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Our developing consciousness, which is necessarily New Afrikan, Revolutionary and Nationalist, We are needing new tools, new language, new ideas, means and ways to re-build Ourselves into a coherent whole for movement and struggle. We are talking about cadre development. This will come about only through arduous study and struggle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSee, here’s the basic thing: if you are calling yourself a New Afrikan, then you are at once saying that you are \u003cem\u003enot \u003c\/em\u003ean amerikkkan (of any stripe). You are rejecting the reactionary\/colonial identity placed arbitrarily on you by the enemy culture. You are implying that you are a citizen of the Republic of New Afrika. Further, this means that you overstand that a \u003cem\u003eNew \u003c\/em\u003eAfrikan Nation exists and has existed, in north amerikkka, at least since 1660.

A nation is a cultural\/custom\/linguistic social development that is consolidated and evolves on a particular land mass and shares a definite collective awareness of itself. New Afrika, as a distinct entity, a total working-class \u003cem\u003enation\u003c\/em\u003e, has existed since 1660 here. The nation was given shape, name, general laws and a creed in 1968, with the founding of the Provisional Government by over 500 New Afrikan nationalists. Established at this historical convention was, The New Afrikan Declaration of Independence, Code of Umoja (New Afrikan Constitution) and The New Afrikan Creed. A President, Vice-Presidents, People’s Center Councils and a People’s Revolutionary Leadership Council were elected to designate New Afrikan Population Districts, set up registration for a New Afrikan census, etc. This was the forming of a \u003cem\u003estate\u003c\/em\u003e, an organized body designed to coherently give shape and form to the already long existing New Afrikan nation. So, We are not trying to “create” a nation – the nation exists. We are trying to agitate, educate and organize the nation for land, independence and socialism. This can only be realized through revolution. And despite what We’ve recently seen in North Africa with their “Arab Spring,” We are under no illusions about Our struggle here being a protracted, long drawn out, revolutionary war.

Colonization has arrested their independent development, distorted who they are, and now they must become a NEW people during the process by which they regain their independence.”  (emphasis in original)\u003cbr\u003e– \u003cem\u003eMeditations…\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLet’s go a bit into this. Those who are calling themselves “African-Americans” are doing so for two real reasons. First, of course, there is an inherent overstanding that runs thoroughly through the New Afrikan nation that We are not \u003cem\u003ereally \u003c\/em\u003eamerikkkans. That We are in fact a people\/nation unto Ourselves. This used to be widely overstood with little notion of anything to the contrary. \u003cem\u003eNeo-\u003c\/em\u003ecolonialism has worked obsessively to change this awareness. The rapid de-colonization (“de-segregation”) of the nation, beginning in the late 50s, ushered in a new (neo) more thoroughly, and dare i say, \u003cem\u003erevolutionary\u003c\/em\u003e, form of control and exploitation: \u003cem\u003eneo-colonialism\u003c\/em\u003e. “Blacks” took over from “Negroes” to lead the masses into an integrated lockstep with capitalism, while they (the misleaders) were awarded nominal positions in local and regional government posts. Because the bourgeois media postulated these class enemies as being “successful,” in a new and improved amerikkka, it fostered  an image (crafted by Madison Avenue) that anybody could make it. “Now that segregation is over, you can grow up to be anything you want.” Except free, of course.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe more integration (which was supposed to mean “freedom and equality”) We got, the worst Our predicament became. The more bourgeois “freedom and equality” We struggled to obtain, the more critical our existence became, the stronger the “black” bourgeoisie got – compounded a hundred times by the u.s. ruling class. The stronger the “black” bourgeoisie became, the more Our revolutionary leadership was attacked, assassinated, imprisoned, or exiled. The more this became so, the worse the hoods got. The worse the hoods got, the more street orgs began to proliferate. More dope, more guns, more pigs – more prisons. This is what the losing of a sense of self brings. Integration \u003cem\u003eis \u003c\/em\u003eneo-colonialism. And it’s reactionary nationalism. But it would be unfair to say it’s not \u003cem\u003eprogress\u003c\/em\u003e. It \u003cem\u003eis \u003c\/em\u003eprogress – it’s just not progress in \u003cem\u003eOur \u003c\/em\u003einterest. We are moving forward, but it is towards Our annihilation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe “black” bourgeoisie worked in tandem with its masters to keep the chains on New Afrika. They overstood the strong Nationalist sentiment that ran through the nation. So in order to placate this sentiment and please their masters, the “black” bourgeoisie introduced the term “African-American.” A split personality that straddled an ocean and a colonial existence. But because our “leaders” said it was right and “after all” the masses said, “We are Africans” – Voila!  This, of course, is not scientific or a reflection of any real reality. It is a term used to maintain a colonial relationship with New Afrika – now being run by remote control through the antics and colorful animation of the “African-American” bourgeoisie. You see them in the Congressional Black Caucus, the higher echelons of the Prince Hall Masons, in the persons of Oprah, Jesse, Al Sharpton, Robert Johnson, etc. etc. They’ve been appointed by the u.s. ruling class to lead the masses – into a neo-colonial marriage with amerikkka. The “African American” bourgeoisie is conjoined (face to ass) with the u.s. ruling class and no surgery short of protracted people’s war will lose them and free Us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe masses, by and large, are innocently confused – they can be redeemed. It is Our job as cadres to do that. Which is why it is so important to study and struggle – to build up your revolutionary ideological, philosophical and theoretical overstanding so as to be able to distinguish the real from the false. The righteous from the reactionary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Our vision must be emphasized in opposition to the imperialist and neo-colonialist perspectives. Our vision demands that We stress the need to establish New Afrikan state power as the PREREQUISITE for the long term resolution of colonial violence, bad housing, miseducation, poor health, no jobs, etc. At present, the orientation underlying mass struggle is primarily neo-colonialist. We ask the u.s. government to do things for Us. Our struggle is AGAINST the u.s. government, to secure the power to prevent it from doing things to us and so that We can do things for ourselves, under our own government. Each issue that the masses struggle around must be infused (by the people’s vanguard) with the idea than none of our problems can be solved until We achieve national independence.”\u003cbr\u003e– Atiba Shanna, \u003cem\u003eVita Wa Watu: A New Afrikan Theoretical Journal, Book 12.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn closing then, i’d like to simply emphasize the need to study and struggle. Study Revolutionary Nationalism and struggle around the issues that are affecting Us. And, too, it’s a beautiful thing to see more prisoners becoming conscious of themselves as New Afrikans. This too is a prerequisite to getting free. Change your mind and you can change your conditions. Overstanding and appreciating the reality of one’s situation gives one a greater sense of appreciation for other oppressed nationals in the same or similar predicaments. I’m gonna fall out with a quote by Comrade Yaki that pretty much sums it all up – Though first, I’d like to send a clenched fisted salute to all the comrades in Canada that make 4SM possible, as well as to Comrade Jaan Laaman, for his outstanding editorial work and his continuous revolutionary commitment.
