nique of revolutionary terrorism. Ancther thing is the importance of
the material the urban guerrilla can j-ersuade the people to expro-
Priate in moments of hunger and scarcity resulting from the greed of
the big commercial interests.
Terrorism is an arm the revolutionary can never relinquish.
Armed Propaganda
The coordination of urban guerrilla actions, including each armecl
action, is the principal way of making armed ptopaganda.
These actions, carried out with specific and determined objectives,
inevitably become propaganda material for the mass communications
system. -
Bank assaults, ambushes, desertions and diverting of arms, the res-
cue of prisoners, executions. kidnappings, sabotage, terrorism, and
the war of nerves, are all cases in point.
Airplanes diverted in flight by revolutionary action, moving ships
and trains assaulted and seized by guerrillas, can also be solcly for
propaganda effects.
But the urban guerrilla must never fail to install a clandestine press
and must be able to turn out mimeographed copies using alcohol or
electric plates and other duplicating apparatus, expropriating what he

to carry on revolutionary propaganda. even when to do so means
acting alone and risking their ives as revolutionaries.
With the existence of clandestine propaganda and agitational
material, the inventive spirit of the urban guerrilla expands and
creates catapults, artifacts, mortars, and other instruments with which
te distribute the antigovernment pamphlets at a distance. :
Tape recordings. the occupation of radio stations, and the use of
loudspeakers, drawings on walls and in other inaccessible places are
other forms of propaganda.
In using them, the urban guerrilla should give them the character
of armed operations.
A consistent propaganda by letters sent to specific addresses, ex-
plaining the meaning of the urban guerrillas’ armed actions, produces
considerable results and is one method of influencing certain segments
of the poptlation.
Even this influence exercised in the heart of the people by every
possible propaganda device revolving around the activity of the urban
guerrilla does not indicate that our forces have everyone's support.
