The Struggle is so fractured and impotent not only because of traitors, but also organizational weakness, ideological discord and individual shortcomings. As such, it is no match for a power structure that stretches back to the 16th century. Revolutionaries must socially, financially, and ideologically pull themselves together BEFORE going out and trying to reach the people.
My father, rest his soul, pondered the intense, consuming fear shown by the dominant establishment towards the Black man. Blessed with common sense & only an eighth-grade education, dad would say: "They got everythin', want us to have nothin' and keep a foot on de Black man's neck. Yet, they seem to fear us more than the Russians and all 'dem other peoples. I figure dey know sumthin' 'bout us we don't know." Truth be told, there was much we hadn't considered about them psychologically.
The issues with J.Edgar Hoover and his allegations about the Panthers are the same as those he had re:M.L.King. Hoover was not a bigot, prejudiced or biased. He was a "true racist". His fear was a psychologically & spiritually deep fear of the Black branch of humanity. He feared the Black man's ability to survive and rise from the ashes like a "phoenix". He undoubtedly knew our history better than we and trembled at the thought of an awakening giant. He was the "Herod" of his time.
@Pachacutti you are on point the country has many skeletons in it closet. People need to wake up and realize that we have been lied to on a daily basis by our government! Clean-up, wake-up, and wise-up the revolution is coming!!!!!!!!!!
Infiltration, the fifth column, is how the hidden hand does its dirt. They come into your midst, take your name, run you out of your own organizations, and then they openly do evil to turn everyone against your mission. Not from the north, south, east, or west, but from within they divide you against each other and yourself. You cannot outsmart the devil. He is an expert.
The very One that could save you has been made to appear an enemy or a fabrication so that you will not come into True Power.
Dr. Newton had one fascinating life. From start to end, even his fall from grace...he is extremely interesting to learn about. Thanks for posting the video. I think there should be more coverage on him and Bobby Seale.
I just wanted to ask you a question re: the American Revolution videos you have posted. I was wondering whether these are from a documentary series, and if so could you tell me the name and possibly when they aired? Thanks!
I am a white guy, but I have to say, watching video of the Panthers, they were some beautiful people. They were not about racism; they were about asking for dignity for all opressed peoples. They were beautiful souls. Beautiful.
Where were the capitalists back in the sixties helping poor children to have a hot meal each morning? I'll tell you where they were: Nowhere. Why? Because capitalists couldn't figure out a way to make a profit from feeding children.
As long as we never give our minds to the oppressor, we have already won, the only battle we are fighting for, are our other brothers and sisters that are still lost.
Respect to you TheBaByG, i am glad there are poeple like you out there, makes the world less insane.
@crazydaysful check your American history! M.O.V.E., Shirley Schism, Jimmy Essex, Uhuru House, Project Row House, Sister Soulja, SHAPE Center, Jercho Movement, Peoples Party III, etc....
this is in response to pachacutti's statement, The prophet noah (p) wasn't a drunk nor commited incest, stop believing everything someone tells you. All of God's prophets were pure and incapable of major sins such as incest.
@HipHopcheerleader fractals though are the building blocks of all biology. fractals come in 3s as do bricks to build a wall. to build a nation to build a resistance. from yoruba, egyptian, massai to chinese, thai, andean and native american textiles. all build up on the fractals!
why doesn't anyone summarize that Noah was a drunk and abusive towards his daughters? Why doesn't anyone summarize the fact that all the founding fathers of this country owned slaves before and after the declaration of independence? Why doesn't anyone summarize the fact that the US Government made deals with the Mafia in WWII and let them practice illegally there after in the US.

@TheBaByG Thanks for the video. Contrary to popular belief, Newton was one of the most important political thinkers in the struggle for civil rights. I look forward to your next video.
Eldridge Cleaver was an opportunist who planted an agent in the Oakland Branch of the BPP while he was in Algeria to spy on the the Party. He was also the target of most COINTELPRO attempts to split and destroy the party, as they were sending him forged letters alleging that Huey was destroying the BPP. The split of the organization was a creation of the CIA. It's unfortunate the video talks about Huey's drug problem but doesn't mention Eldridge Cleaver becoming an ultra-conservative Republican.
It's so hard to listen to Fred Hampton speak and remember that he was SO young! It's astonishing that that passion and that voice could come out of such a young man.
There are A LOT of lessons that can be gleaned from the success and failures of the Panthers and other militant movements of that era. Here's two:
1. We cannot have bureaucracy in a revolutionary party/movement, nor can that party be centered around one figure or a small clique. The active participation of all members in the organization of the party and deciding it's strategies and tactics is key.
2. Trotsky was right, individual terrorism does not work. Nor is it a desirable outcome that a
small group of militants, rather than the mass of workers, take control of the state. The whole of the party must engage in the revolutionary actions intended to destabilize the capitalist state. It cannot be the work of a few individuals. Concentrated, organized, collective acts of terror by the masses would break the bourgeois state to pieces.
CitizenCindy: great comments! I'm not sure whether you meant to say collective acts of "terror" though. Acts of terror can never be the answer, because you will lose the battle of ideas from the start.
By "terror," I mean a series of militant acts carried out by the organized masses against the centers of state power; acts intended to disrupt and disable the infrastructure of the capitalist state. Nonviolence, of course, is altogether preferable, and if the mass strikes preceding these acts succeeded in dismantling the oppressive machinery of the ruling class state, further acts of terror would not be necessary. The purpose of nonviolent mass strikes would too be to "terrorize" the bourgeois
CitinzenCindy: thx for the clarification :) There is much validity in what Marx had to say in DAS KAPITAL, but we need to look beyond this, because his ideas were formulated during the height of the industrial revolution. 80% of the US is essentially bourgeois, unlike during Marx's times. But yes, the same ruling class exists today as it did then. Anyway, acts of violence against innocent civilians, i.e. blowing up buses, cannot EVER be condoned under ANY circumstances.
In my opinion, only those who wield real economic and state power belong to the capitalist class. Dina Roy's article "The myth of a classless America" at the website SocialistWorker explains: "Does everyone who owns a business ... belong to the capitalist class? No. There is a vast difference between the owners and executives of Fortune 500 corporations and, say, a family-run beauty salon. The two don't have the same social power and aren't part of the same class."
Individual terrorism by Zionist was very successful in kicking the British superpower out of Palestine. Worked well in Algeria against the French also. It may not be a good idea but you can't claim it does not work.
I'd suggest that individual terrorism has failed far more often than it has succeeded. What's worse, it has also time and time again been shown to be counterproductive to more practical attempts at revolution. Still, your point is well taken, and I do not deny that under certain material conditions individual terror has had some successes. I do think it is important that in future revolutions minority militancy not replace the collective action of the democratically organized workingclass masses
Our democratically organized masses are distracted by the false left/right paradigm. Both parties are owned by the same corporations and we get speeches for the masses and votes for the corporations. Until that changes we are doomed.
I was referring to the workers democratically organized into a mass labor of party. Prior to the creation of such a party, it is necessary for the workers to take back the unions and place them under rank and file control. I agree, there is no future for a mass movement until the unions and the workers in them break with the parties of big business, and recognize the oxymoron that is "capitalist democracy."
