How the Urban Guerrilla Lives and Subsists The urban guerrilla must know how to live among the people and must be careful not to appear strange and separated from ordinary city Hile. He should not wear clothes that are different from those that other people wear. Elaborate and high fashion clothing for men or women may often be a handicap if the urban querrilla’s mission takes him into working class neighborhoods or sections where such dress is uncommon. The same care has to be taken if the “urban guerrilla moves from the South to the North or vice versa.

The urban querrilla must have a great capacity for observation. must be well informed about everything, principally about the enemy's movements, and must be very searching and knowledgeable about the area in which he lives, operates, or through which he moves. But the fundamental and decisive characterstie of the urban gucr- rilla is that he is a man who fights with arms: given this condition, there is very litde likelihocd that he will be able to follaw his normal profession for long without being identificd. The cole of expropria- tion thus looms as clear as high noon. It ts impossible for the urban guerrilla to exist and survive without lighting to expropriate. Thus, within the framework of the class struggle. as it inevitably and necessurily sharpens. the armed struggle of the urban guerrilla points toward two essential objectives: a) the physical liquidation of the chiefs and assistants of the armed forces and of the police: b) the expropriation of government resources and those belonging to the bit capitalists, latifundists. and imperialists, with small ex- propriatiqdas used for the maintenance of individual urban guerrillas and largg ones for the sustenance of the revolution itself. It is clefr that the armed struggle of the urban querrilla also has other bbjectives. But here we are referring to the two basic objectives, above all expropriation. It is necessary for every urban guerrilla to keep in mind always that he can only maintain his existence if he is disposed to kill the polite snd those dedicated to repression, and if he is determined — truly determined — to expro- priate the wealth of the big capitalists. the Jatifundists. and the imperialists. om fou rd ' ..t 8 sacieticn: mf ob 6~"° or Une fundamental Characfelistnhs vou the Brazilian revolution ‘ . 1 —_ fe ee og cere enteral Leeper ete ey ee eens we ee 1 neTIRe hy ne are _ same. - a a cere ae oe ty ee ee ce : — eee bi em ron
