The secret decision to kill Marcus ‘foster, and its xecution, confirmed our suspicions. . The kind of revolution ze've come to see as necessery hes nothins to do with an " of the tyve the SLA rorshivs. The world economy is entering a derression the Like of which has not been seenbefore. People are finding out that Foppa the capitalist and Momma the State are not going to deliver the goods anymore: no meat, no gas, and . mayte no 'read. If the goods are going to get delivered, it haa to be us, “ordinary"—----—- working people, who deliver then to us; who take over. and run the closed-down farms, bakeries, and refineries, etc., and deliver the goods 20 ourselves. hat is the real ~ 4 revolution: when we take over _the economy, our comounities, and ell of society, and run them on our own behalf. If ve only look for another Homy or Daddy to do it for us -- a Fascist Earty, a "Concunist” Party, an SLA -- ve will just put ourselves oack where we started, only worse off -- living under a total police state. The irony of the SLA Kidnarping is this: that the life of yet one more human veing is traded for the barest necessities of survival. ratricia Hearst is being revolutionaries, we are not interested in just an extension of the welfare systen, whether "redically" administered or otherwise.

This should dis- solve once and for all the naive assumptions about huoan conditions, specifically with regard to who is reslly preletarian: and should reveal the missionary nature of the SLA's slogan “our interest is to serve and defend the people". The "people" {i.e., the croletariat) is anycne who has no power cver their activities and the a uses to which they are rut, cecause they mist sell them to scnebody else. This does not refer to those tenevclent "servants of the yeople" whose " real wish is rot the ’ nower of the proletariat but their power over the proletariat, whether tney be white, plack,.brorn, yellow or red bureaucrats» Just look at China, Russia, and Cuba. In this respect, life there is the same as here: “you take orders; you work for somebody else. These countries are still capitelist, only_there, the state is the canitalist!! . Once we are running things for ourselves, instead cf fcltowing orders from the people who extort our time -- urcegucing what shey tell us, how they tell us-- we can start to remake the world in the way we want it to be. ‘The SLA idea of “sevarate, sovereign Natiors" is backward and bourgeois. “e will have to plan production on a Lh as worlé-wide scale to get vhat we want; what <eonle all over the world use every day * . alreacy comes from all yarts of the vorld, not just their om rvart. fut it is vital ie het at sa med vee stat te plapred end@ wrni is wreducert, and nct sive up this a poser to soue nev oameancra.y. this meaus “hat we vill have ts orgumize cn the busis *" F"Zouncils -- assemblies of all the people concerned in communities, factories, nr > . : . . . offices, farns, etc, which mele all decisions which concern themselves alone, and
