"IN DEFONSE OF SELF DERMIS;
THE CORTNSCT HANDLING OF A REVOLUTION. *
Hest human behavior is learned behavioyv. Nost thines the
mgnan being Icarns wre gained through an indirect relitilernaie
to the object. Humans do ot act from instinct es Jowes crntrsks
do. Those things learned indirectly many times stimtanin very
effective r€cnoenses th what mipht be later a direct e:spucisace.
At this time the black masses aro handling the resist:nce incorr-
ectly. The brothers in East Oakland learncd from Vatts a ey
means of resistance figuting by anassing the people in the
streets, throwing bricks and moletov cocktails to destrev
proporty and create disruntion. The brothers an” sisters
in the streets wero herded into a small area by the gsscvapo
police and immediately contained by the brutal violsnso of th:
oppcéessor's storm troops. This manner of rosistznce is sporadic,
short-lived, and costly im violence against.the pecple. This
method has been transmitted to all the ghettoer of the binck ation
across the country. This first man who threv a molotov cosk~
tail is not personally lkmoim by the masses, but yet the acticn
was respected and follewod by the people.
The Vansuard Party must provide leadcrship for the peorie. --.
It must teach the correct strategic metheds of 2. - 7 ciged resist
ance througn literature and activities, If the activities of
the party are respected by the people, the neonle will follow tne
example. This is the prinary job of the party. This knowledge
vill probanbly be gained second-hand by the masses just as the
above mentioned was gained indirscctly. When the people learn
that it is no longer advantegcour for them to resist by going into
the streets in large nuabers, and when they seo tne advantage in
the activities of the guerrilla verfare method, they will
quickly follow this exauple.
Dut first, they must respect the party which is trans-
mitting this messaze. When the Vanzuard group destroys the
machinery of tho oppressor by dealing with him in small groups
ef three and four, and then escares the might of the oppressor,
the masses will overjoyed and will adhere to this correct
stratesy. When the masses hear that a pestzpo policcm2n has
been exccuted whilo sipoing coffeo at a counter, and the revol-
utionary executioners fled without being traced, the masses
will see the validity of tlis type of approach to resistaneca.
It is not necessary to organize thirty million Black people in
primary groups of twats and three's but it is important for the
party to show the people how to go about revolution. ring
slavery, in which no vanguard paury existod end forms of conm-
unication were severcly restricted and insufficient, many slave
revolts occurred,
There are basically three ways one cal learn: through
study, through observitioen, and through actual experionce.
Tho black community is basically composed of activists, The
community learns through activity, either through ob orvation
