or rural guerrilla warfare. Urban querrilla warfare or psychological
warfare in the city depends on the urhan guerrilla.
The urban guern!la is # man who fights the military dictatorship
with arms, using unconventional methods. A political revolutionary
and an ardent patriot, he is a fighter for his country’s liberation, a
friend of the people and of freedom. The area in which the urban
quercilla acts fs in the large Braczihan cies. There are also bandits,
-commonly known as outlaws, who work in the big cities. Many
Gimes assaults by outlaws are taken as actions by urban gucrrillas.
The urban guerrilla, however, differs radically from the oytlaw. The
outlaw bencfits personally from the action, and attacks indiscriminately
without distinguishing between the exploited and the exploiters, which
is why there are so many ordinary men and women among his victims.
The urban guerrilla follows a political goal and only attacks the
government. the big capitalists, and the foreign imperialists, particularly
North Americans. _
Another element just as prejudicial as the outlaw and also operating
in the urban area is the right-wing counterrevolutionary who creates
confusion, assaults banks. hurls bombs, kidnaps, assassinates, and
commits the worst imaginable crimes against urban guerrillas, rev-
olutionary priests, students, and citizens who opposc fascism and
seek liberty.
The urban guerrilla is an implacable enemy of the government and.
systematically inflicts damage on the authorities and on the men who
dominate the country and exercise power. The principal task of the
urban quertilla is to distract, to wear out, to demoralize the militarists,
the military dictatorship and its repressive forces, and also to attack
and destroy the wealth and property of the North Americans, the
foreign managers, and the Brazilian upper class.
The urban querrilla is not afraid of dismantling and destroying the
present Brazilian economic, political. and social system. for his aim
is to help the rural guerrilla and to collaborate in the creation of a
totally new and revolutionary social and political structure. with the
armed people in power. .
The urban guerrilla must have a certain minimal political under-
standing. To gain that he must read certain printed or mimeographed
works such as:

Momories cf a Terrorist
