TRUE REVOLUTIONARIES

"...fight fire with water."

To make a note on the revolution here in America, one must talk about Huey P. Newton and Eldridge Cleaver.

The Black Panther Party has proven through social practice that it is not racist or a capitalistic organization. The reasons for this is that the dedicated members of the Party have and still do follow closely the teachings of our Minister of Defense, Huey P. Newton and understood well the words; of our Minister of Information, Eldridge Cleaver. We have closely learned to apply Marxist-Leninist revolutionary principles as our Minister of Defense did. When Huey was here on the streets with us and all the people, he taught us many things, mostly by doing, putting revolutionary principles into real practice. Having a correct revolutionary ideology Huey was able to put into motion a nation of Black brothers and sisters who on one level have raised their consciousness, especially where the Party exemplifies a correct revolutionary world outlook. Many revolutionary principles in past revolutions of this century don't exactly apply to the situation here in the U.S.A. But when one locks back upon all the things that Huey P. Newton and Eldridge Cleaver both have done and said one can see clearly, that is, if he or she is objective and not a subjective person, that these two brothers are the two leading revolutionaries of our time, being here in the confines of capitalist racist America.

Within Eldridge Cleaver and Huey P. Newton we still have Lumumba and Malcolm X. We have Qwame NKruma and Stagalee (meaning the field niggers on the block before he relates and works to wage a truly organized revolutionary struggle for his people). Huey P. Newton and Eldridge Cleaver exemplifies Leninist true revolutionary principles. Our Party can see Lenin and Stalin when we want to understand Huey and Eldridge. There exists higher levels of Marxism-Lenninism with Mao Tse-tung and Ho Chi Minh, Castro and Che, live revolutionary struggles moving to higher levels every day all the genius and understanding of the class struggle that Frantz Fannon had learned by living and working with the Algerian people's revolution. Alprintice "Bunchy" Carter, John Huggins and "Lil" Bobby all loved and respected these two great revolutionaries, Huey P. Newton and Eldridge Cleaver. Why the Black Panther Party is not a black racist organization is because Huey P. Newton and Eldridge Cleave understood and taught us that it was not a race struggle but a class struggle-- A CLAS struggle. Huey said to me the night we met brother Eldridge Cleaver "Man the Party needs that brother he would be like another Malcolm X to the Party for the people. And Eldridge Cleaver said to me...,"Say man you know what? Malcolm X preceeded Huey P. Newton like John the Baptist preceeded Jesus Christ." These are two of the rarest brothers of the poor opressed masses that ever existed in the U.S.A. and Malcolm X has both of 'em hung up on being, for the rest of their lives, dedicated revolutionaries who I know will serve the poor black and opressed peoples .

Huey taught me not to hate a person for the color of their skin, but to "hate what the upper ruling class does to us' what they do to us black people.

Eldridge explained that we don't fight fire with fire but we fight fire with water because everyone knows that fire is bust put out with water.

So I'll sum up this whole article about what the lack Panther Party is all about in our just struggle against the ruling class who exploit poor black and other opressed peoples of the world, let alone here in decadent American.

Every human being must understand - every stagalee--every uneducated (I mean here, not having revolutionary education coming from Huey and Eldridge) brother and sister must realize we will not fight racism with racism but that we will fight racism with solidarity. We will not fight capitalism with capitalism (black capitalism) but we must fight capitalism with socialism We can never - nor can they (other nations) even try to fight U.S. imperialism with more imperialism, but we will fight it with proletarian internationalism .
