"We view each other with a great love and great understanding and that we try to expand this to the general black population and also people, oppressed people all over the world and, I think that we differ from some other groups simply because we understand the system better than most groups understand the system, and with this realization we attempt to form a strong political base based in the community with the only strength that we have and that's the strength of a potentially destructive force if we don't get freedom." -Huey P. Newton

Guillotine Poem

(of Confucian Sino-Vietnamese origin)

The flame [of patriotism] burns in my heart to the very end,
I am now going to shed blood beautifying the Fatherland,
Don't feel sorry that I must go and you remain,
This sacrifice is simply a test, distinguishing cowards from great men,
It is now yours, the sacred duty to liberate our beloved land,
Success or failure will be in your hands,
Your victory in the future is my hope and my dream,
I want to share it in the golden stream (place where the deceased go).




Context: French colonialists often used public executions via guillotine to dissuade villagers from joining revolutionary organizations. This was a poem often recited by people before execution. Said to have originated in Phu-Tho prison where many were held in solitary confinement until execution, which escalated throughout the 1930s.

Fascism in the U.S.A.



Watch that and ponder this:

Fascism, pronounced /ˈfæʃɪzəm/, is a radical and authoritarian nationalist political ideology.[1][2][3][4] Fascists seek to organize a nation on corporatist perspectives; values; and systems such as the political system and the economy.

Fascists believe that a nation is an organic community that requires strong leadership, collective identity, and the will and ability to commit violence and wage war in order to keep the nation strong.[16] Fascists identify violence and war as actions that create national regeneration, spirit and vitality.[17]



The will and ability to commit violence and wage war in order to keep the nation strong.

This is 2010 and the pigs didn't hesitate to arrest more than 100 peaceful protesters using pretty disproportionate force. When you threaten the functioning of the system, in ways such as shutting down the freeway arteries, you get a real response. The ugly beast fucking rears its head.

Keep in mind that America has the highest incarceration rate and the most prisons in the world. 7 million people are on parole or probation. More than 10% of government employees work in corrections. Recidivism (basically, rate of returning back to jail) is more than 67%.


Not to mention, the military industrial complex has been engaged in warfare non-stop since the end of WWII as if war creates national regeneration, spirit, and vitality...

I think it's very clear that we need revolution. A pig will always be a pig and this shit won't stop and don't stop until we get every single one of them off the block. None of this reformist shit. They all have to go.
