THE CORTSCT IDLING OF A REVOLUTION. *
Hest human behavior is learned behavior, Most th:

At this time the black masses aro handling the resist:
ectly, The brothers in East Oakland learncd from VYatts a a hoe
means of resistance f: ting by amassing the people in the
streets, ts and molotov cocktails t
to dostrey
property end create disruption. The brothers an‘ sist
an the streets wero herded into a emall area by the gesiapo
Police and imnediately contained by the brutal violcnco of ths
oppceessor's storm troops. This mamner of rosistence is eporadic,
short-lived, and costly im violence against.the pocple. This
method has been transmitted to all the ghettor of the ck ation
across the country. This first wan who threw a molotov co:
tail is not personally Imoim by the masses, but yet the acticn
was respected and followod by the people.
The Vanguard Party must provide leadc:
It must teach the correct strategic metheds of
ance through literature and activities, If the cci
the party are respected by the people, tho neeple will follow tas .
exemple. This is the primary job of the party. This k»ovlecge
vill probably be gained second-hand by the masses just as the
above mentioned was geined indirectly. When the people learn
that it is no longer advantegcour for thom to resist by going
the streets in large nuabers, and when they seo the adventage in
the activities of the guerrilla werfare method, they will
quickly follow this exwuyple.
Dut first, thoy mist respect the party which is trans
mitting this message. Vnen the Vanguard group destroys th
machinery of tho oppressor by dealing with him in smal} groups
of three and four, and thon escapes the might of the oppressor,
the masses will overjoyed and will adhere to this correct .
strateyzy. hon the masses hear that a gestepo policemmn has
been exccuted whilo sipoing coffeo at a counter, and the revol-
utionary executioners fled without being troced, the misses
will see the validity of this type of approach to resistance.
It is not necessary to organize thirty million Black people in
primary groups of two's and three's but it is importeni for the
party to shov the people how to go about revolution. During
slavery, in which no vanguard pary existod and forms of comm
unication were severcly restricted and insufficient, many slave
revolts occurred.
There are basically three ways one cal learn: through
study, through observetion, and through actual experionce.
Tho black cormunity is basically c osed of activists, The
community learns through activity, either through ob orvation
