of the imperialists, So we found that
* in order to be an tnternationalist, we
had to a nationalist, or at
least acknowledge nationhood, So all
internationalists are also nationalists,

| internationalists,we're not afraid aboul
that, Matter of faci will try
shed light upon it, and we will define
the transformation tine
phenomena, and we will call ourselves
“‘Intercommunalists’’, Because nations
have been transformed com-
munities of the world.
So tonight, the Black Panther Party
would like to disclaim Internationalism
and support Intercommunalism, We
have a problem, You know Marx and
Lenin felt with the information that
they had, that when non-state finally
came fo be areality, it would be caused,
or ushered in by the people and by
Communism, A strange thing happened,
The ruling reactionary circle through
the process of being an imperialist,
transformed the world into we
call reactionary tntercommunalism.
They laid upon all the com-
munities of the world, dominating the
institutions to such an extent that the
people are not served by the institu-
tions in their land, The Black Pan-
ther Party would like to reverse that
and lead the people of the world into
the age of Revolutionary Intercommun-
alism, This would be the time when
the people seize the means of pro-
duction, distribute the wealth and the
technology in an egalitarian way to the
many communities of the world
We see very little difference in what
happens to a community here in North
| America and what happens to a com
