I really cannot imagine how anyone can stay detached and complacent for any period of time and still maintain social contacts on any level. It no longer surprises me, but I still find the general acceptance and widespread practice of the more deranged products of Western culture disturbing. Prying, nosy, schizophrenic, domineering, psychoneurotic people press you from all sides. They remain in a continual state of agitation, always on the brink of doing something maniacal! Capitalism, I believe, the capitalizing on the next man's labor, on the next man's weakness, has contributed greatly to the development of the anomalous "Western man"; capitalism, competitive enterprise, man competing against man for the necessary things, for status symbols, for power to repress his competitors and secure his personal well-being to exercise his ego, his fancy. I just cannot get used of the idea of some petty, stereotyped, bureaucratic official, patently suffering from some mental disorder, asking me questions, calling on me to explain myself. It is odd, and ironical, the trickery and turnabout that has gone down these last few generations.

Chew on this a few moments: a colonizer, a usurer, the original thief, a murderer for personal gain, a kidnapper-slaver, a maker of cannon, bombs, and poison gas, an egocentric parasite, the original fork tongue, the odd man is trying to convey to us that we must adjust ourselves to his warp, that we must learn to be more like him, that because we're not we're backward, underdeveloped, unsophisticated! This is strange and contradictory.

I am deeply sorry that I ever told a lie, stole anything robbed and cheated at anything — mainly because it is so much like conforming to Western ways.

To all appearances they are upset with me for doing these things. That privilege is supposed to be reserved for them I guess. So what do they mean by saying that we must get in with them, be like them, adopt capitalism, clothe ourselves in Western ways? This is a strange and contradictory thing. If we the colored and black of the world adopt capitalism where would we have to seek our colonies, Europe, the U.S.?! Who would we capitalize on if we used their history as a pattern? Them I should say!! Who would we kidnap, murder, lynch, enslave, and then neglect!! So what do they mean by saying, "Do as I do"? I don't think, well I know that they are not serious, not sincere. I think they are employing another trick, a ploy to further confuse us and use us, I think what they mean is not "Do as I do" but "Do as I say"! In the 1770s the Europeans over here wanted to pull away from the Europeans of England. They called it a freedom fight. Now we men of color here in the U.S. want to pull away from these Europeans and they call it subversion, irresponsibility, etc. I don't even speak to them anymore. I go my way and hope to be left alone.

In order for capitalism to continue to rule, any action
that threatens the right of a few individuals to own and
control public property must be prohibited and curtailed
whatever the cost in resources (the international wing of the
repressive institutions has spent one and one-half trillion
dollars since World War II), whatever the cost in blood (My
Lai, Augusta, Georgia, Kent State, the Panther trials, the
frame-up of Angela Davis)! The national repressive institutions
(police, National Guard, army, etc.) are no less determined.
The mayors that curse the rioters and. the looters
(Mayor Daley of Chicago has ordered them summarily executed
in the streets) ignore the fact that their bosses have
looted the world!!!

This (or some slight variation) should be at the head of any and all BLM agitation, publications, and news conferences.


From the first moment I'm brought into this scenario, I
attempt to establish control over the exchanges that will take
place between myself and my captors. Depending on the
situation, one learns to feign either indignation, surprise,
idiocy or fear. At times the peasant-philosopher face will
work. I don't think I am an exception at all, as most blacks
learn by age fifteen how to handle the cretins who hire out
as guns for the privileged. There is only one type of inquisitional
situation that I personally cannot control—the sessions
that begin with violence.

My emphasis.
Cops should never get any slack. They are class traitors, if they want to be treated like a human being then they should switch sides.


The purpose of the chief repressive institutions within
the totalitarian capitalist state is clearly to discourage and
prohibit certain activity, and the prohibitions are aimed at
very distinctly defined sectors of the class- and race-sensitized
society. The ultimate expression of law is not order—
it's prison. There are hundreds upon hundreds of prisons,
and thousands upon thousands of laws, yet there is no social
order, no social peace. Anglo-Saxon bourgeois law is tied
firmly into economics. One can even pick that out of those
Vital Statistics. Bourgeois law protects property relations
and not social relationships. The cultural traits of capitalist
society that also tend to check activity—(individualism, artificial
politeness juxtaposed to an aloof rudeness, the rush to
learn "how to" instead of "what is")—are secondary really, and intended for those mild cases (and groups) that require
preventive measures only. The law and everything that interlocks
with it was constructed for poor, desperate people like
me.

Clear and to the point.

So clear, articulate, so young, no wonder they killed him. What a mature leader he'd have been.
