eIn DEFONSE OF SELP DEREIT THE CORTSCT IDLING OF A REVOLUTION. * Hest human behavior is learned behavior, Most th: Imenan being Icarns ere gained through an indirect ra: to the object. Humans do uot act from inst; do. Those things loarned indirectly many times st: effective r€cnonses th whut might be later a direct c: 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.

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.
