And what we want to know is how to just work to build a mass organization... BOBBY LEE: Well see, the first thing about starting, the Patriots got their fceod, we have ours, and the Ycung Lords have theirs, is one of the most important things is meeting the people's basic needs. Like you can't __ (unintelligible), nobody hungry man, know what I mean? You can't bring anyone to a political level when they're hungry. You know, it's just like the people in Hanoi. Y mean, the first thing they said, man, is Ho Chi Minh fed them first, and they ate every day. And that's the only way you're going to bring them pecple to a political level man, meet their basic needs, man. Then after their bazic needs are met, then, man, the poor crientation goes on, man. And it goes on the mass scale. And once in turn they reach a political level, they're able to orjentate others. I mean they're able to become a part of the padre (phonetic). You know, and they're able to go out and form other padres and things like that. PERMAN: Sec, probabil way SDS used to operate, what you do is make poorer and poorer and poorer and poorer, and you know, make certain they get their heads beat more and more and more. Then they become revolutionaries see? That's using the people. And if some mother-fucker stands up and says we take the edge off the struggle because we institute programs to meet the needs of the people, I'd just like to knock his, fucking head off, man. Because if we're taking the edge off the struggie, how come 31 Panthers have been Killed, most of the Central Staff been put in jail or exiled, and why is the FBI running you down in this country. Why are they daing that? We're not taking the edge off the struggle, we're raising contradictions everywhere we go when we create those programs. We just left Richmond, Virginia, man, created food programs in the oppressed white community and the black community. And don't you know that brought the struggle to a higher level? thn ALF Savanna iba = 1At+ AF tha BIS VLE AGL OIING @ AAMT Gg i do we Li Question: Well what I'm saying is that if the system can't fight your food programs, then why do they have this thing in “Time” magazine that's saying we're all for this? . 90 eT Ne nee gh a Ores _ woe we RE a rae Cote eg a ee ae
