By ee HUEY NEWTON HUEY ON ANARCHISTS AND INDIVIDUALISTS AS RELATED TO REVOLUTIONARY STRUGGLE AND THE BLACK LIBERATION MOVEMENT We should understand there is a difference between the rebellion of the anarchists and the black revolution or liberation of the black colony. This is a claws society; it always has been. This reactionary class society places its limitations on individuals, not just in teros of their occupation, but also regarding self expression, being mobile, and being free to really be creative and do anything they want to do. The class-society prevents this. This is true not only for the mass of the lower or sub- jugated claw. It is abo true within the ruling clas, the master claw. That claw abo limits the freedom of the individual souls of the people which Comprise it. In the upper class, the individuals always try to free themselves from these limitations — the artificial limitations placed upon him through external sources: namely, some hierarchy that goes by the name of State or Government Administration. In America. we have not only a class society, we abo have a caste system, and black people are fitted into the lowest caste. They have no mobility for going up the class fadder. They have no privilege to enter into the ruling structure at all. Within the ruling claw they're objecting (resisting™), because the people have found that they're completely subjected to the will of the administration and to the manipola- tors. This brings about a very strange phenomenon in Amcrican. That i, many of the re- belling white students and the anarchists are the offspring of this master class. Surely most of them have a middle clas background and some even upper class. They see the limitations imposed upon them and now they're striving, as all men strive, to get freedom of the soul, Freedom of expression, and freedom of movement, without the artificial limitations from antique values. Blacks and colored people in America, confined withia the caste syotem, are discrimina- ted against against a a whole group of people. Its not a question of individual freedom, as it is for the children of the upper clases. We haven't reached the point of trying to free ourselves individually because we're dominated and oppressed as a group of people. Part of the people of this country — which is a great part — part of the youth them- selves. But they're not doing this as @ group of people. Because as a group they're al- ready free to an extent, Their problem is not a group problem really, became they can easily integrate into the structure. Potentially they're mobile enough to do this: They're the educated ones, the “future of the country,” and so forth. They can easily gain a cer. tain amount of power over the society by integrating inte the rolemhip circle. But they see that even within the rulership circle there are still antique values that have no respect for individualism, They find themvelyes subjugated. No matter what clas they're in they find themselves subjugated because of the nature of this class society, Se their fight bs to free the individual's soul This brings about another problem. They're being ruled by an alien source that has nothing to do with freedom of individual expression. They waant to excupe this, to overturn this, but they see no need fo form a strecture or a real, disciplined vanguard movement, Their reasoning is that by sctting up a disciplined organization they feel they'd be replacing the old structure with otehr limitations. They fear they'd be setting themselves up as directine the people, therefore limiting the individual again, But what they dow't vaderstand, of it seems that they don't andertand, is as long as the military-industrial comples exists, then the structure of oppression of the individual continue. An individual would be threatened even if be were to achieve his freedom he's : He'll be threatened because there will be am organized lower group there ready te strip him of bis individual [reedom at any moment, PAGE 9 In Cuba they had a revolution, they had a vanguard group that was » disciplined group, and they realized that the state won't diwppear until imperialism is wiped out, structurally and abso philosophically, or the bourgeouls thoughts won't changed. Once imperialism bs wiped out they cam have their communist state and the state or territorial boundaries will disappear, In this country the anarchists seem to feel that if they just express themselves in- dividually and tend to ignore the limitations imposed on them, without leadership and without discipline they can oppose the very disciplined, organized, reactionary state. This is not true. They will be oppressed as long as imperialism exists. You cannot oppose a system such as this is to oppose it with organization that's even more extremely dis- ciptined and dedicated than the structure you're opposing. Be j I can understand the anarchists wanting to go directly from state to non-state, but historically it's incorrect. As far as I'm concerned, ihinking of the recent French Revolu- tion, the reason the Frendh wprising failed is simply because the anarchists in the country, who by definition had no organization, had no people that were reliable enough as far as the mass of the people were concerned, to replace DeGaulle and his government. Now, the people were skeptical about the Communist Party and the other progressive parties, because they didn't side with the people of medium living. ‘They lagged behind the people, so they lost the respect of the people, and the people looked for guidance from the stu- dents and anarchists, ‘ But the anarchists were unable to offer a structural program to replace the DeGaulle government. So the people were forced to turn back to DeGaulle. It wasn't the people's fault; it was Cohn-Bendit’s fault and all the other anarchists who felt they could just go from state to non-state. In this country — getting back home to North America now — we can side with the student radicals, We would try to encourage them and persuade them to organize and weld a sharp cutting tool, In order to do this they would have to be disciplined and they would have at least some philosophical replacement of the system. This is not to say that this itself will free the individual. The individual will mot be free until the state does not exist at all, and I think — I don't want to be redundant — this cannot be replaced by the anarchists right away. As far as the blacks are concerned, we are not hung up on attempting to actealize or express our individual souls because we're oppressed not as individuals but as a whole group of people. Our evolution, or our liberation, is based first on freeing our group. Freeing ovr group to a certain degree. After we gain our liberation, our people will not be free. I can imagine in the future that the blacks will rebel against the organized lead- ership that the blacks themselves have structured. They will sce there will be limitations, limiting their individual selves, and limiting their freedom of expression. Bat this is only after they become free as a group. This is what makes our group different from the white anarchist — besides he views his group as already free. Now he’s striving for freedom of his individual self. This is the big difference. We're not fighting for freedom of our individual selves, we're fighting for 4 group freedom, In the future there will probably be a rebellion where blacks will say. “Well, our leadership is limiting our freedom, because of the rigid discipline. Now that we've gained our freedom, we will strive for our individualistic freedom that has nothing — to do with organized group or state.” And the group will be disorganized, and it should be. But at this point we stress discipline, we stress organization, we do not stress psy chedel- ic drugs, and all the other things that have to do with just the individual expansion of the mind. We're trying to gain true liberation of a group of people, and this makes our struggle somewhat differemt from the whites. Now, how is it the same. It’s the same in the fact that both of us are striving for freee dom. They will not be free —~ the white anarchists: be free — capitalistic system would not give them individual freedom while of people based upon race color oppressed as a group-How can they expect individ. — . val freedom when the imperialists oppress whole mations of people? Until we gain Hb- THE BLACK PANTHER MONDAY, FEB, 17,1909 * e cae? a a eration as a group they won't gain any liberation as an individual person. So this makes our fight the same, and we must keep this in perspective, and always see the similarities and the differences in it. There's 4 (remendows amount of difference in it, and there's a dee amount of similari- ties between the two cases. Both are striving for freedom, and both are striving for lib- eration of their people, only one is advanced to a degree higher than the other. The anarchists are advanced a step higher, but only in theory. As far as actuality of condi- tioms, they shouwlda't be advanced higher because they should sce the necessity of wiping : 32 the imperialistic stracture by Srganized groups just ay we must be organized. > “ = a de Aa 2 * _ een ty —=={[{]{*7*”"[T[{_nnnn———— EEE PAGE4 THE BLACK PANTHER MONDAY, FEB, 17, 1969 Quotations “The Black Panther Party is a vanguard group leading the revolutionary struggle, playing a partin it, because this is world revolution: all colonized people are now resisting. To work as one of the ad- ministrators of this revolutionary action, you have to view yourself as an oxen to be ridden by the people. This is what the Black Panther Party teaches—that we should all carry the weight, and those who have extreme abilities will have to carry extremely heavy loads.” “A people who have suffered so much for so long at the hands of a racist society, must draw the line somewhere. We believe that the Black communities of America must rise up as one man to halt the pro gression of a trend that leads inevitably to their total destruction.” From “The only political power that I can see that we can build would be potentially destructive. It is not our choice to be destructive: we would like some other avenue to work through, but the country has left us no choice. So they've pushed us to the wall, and now we're coming off the wall with just what they asked for.” “Ron Karenga and some other nationalistic groups seem to be hung up on surviving Africanisms, or what we call cultural nationalism. Cultural nation alism deals with a return to the old culture of Africa and that we are somehow freed by identifving and returning to this culture, to the African cultural stage of the 1100's or earlier. Somehow they believe that they will be freed through identifving in this manner. As far as we are concerned, we believe that it's important for us to recognize our origins and identify with the revolutionary Black people of Africa and people of color throughout the world. But as far as returning, per se to the ancient customs, we don't see any necessity in this. And also, we say that the only culture that is worth holding is revolution ary culture—for change for the better.” “When a mechanic wants to fix a broken down car engine, he must have the necessary tools to do the job. When the people move for liberation, they must have the basic tool of liberation—the gun.” “When the oppressor makes a vicious attack against freedom fighters because of the way that such freedom fighters choose to go about their liber- ation, then we know we are moving in the direction of our liberation.” “There is a world of difference between thirty million unarmed, submissive Black people and thirty million Black people armed with freedom and de- fense guns and the strategic methods of liberation.” “The Black Panther Party is a Black organiza- tion because we feel that we have a Black problem. Our problem is unity at this point. We have to unify among ourselves. We can handle the colony better than anyone else. We are a colonized people. Many Black communities are like decentralized colonies throughout this country. The white revolutionists realize that they're exploited politically and econ omically, more politically than anything else, but we (Black people) suffer from racism also. We have to man our own sroup to straighten out our own problems of Black people and Black@Olonl@s, and we welcome support,” The blood, sweat, tears and suffering of Black people are the foundation of the wealth and power of the United States of America. We were forced to build America, and if forced to, we will tear itdown The immediate result of this destruction Will be suf fering and bloodshed, But the end result will be per. petual peace for all mankind. ——————— a ae, a es Ae i Bl dea tea a —_ 7 ee a eS aT) ¥, if _ a — -_ a - = -_ x e “The main function of the party is to awaken the people and to teach them the strategic method of resisting the power structure’...

The case is based onthe “so-called confessions” of two Ne- gro traitors from Waterlé6o, lowa, who implicated the three from Des Moines.

IMPERIALISM In their protracted war against colonialism, an increasing number { African people have begun to see things more clearly from their own experience and greatly raised their political consciousness, It is now clear to them that US, imperialism is their No, l enemy. Fects have made it abu dantly clear that it is U.S, imperialism which has directed the Mobutu pup- pet clique to wantonly suppress the patriotic armed forces and people of the Congo (K), It is the same U.S, imperialism which gives vig- rous support to the Portuguese colontalists in waging a barbarous wur in Africa and tries to prop up their cottering colonial rule, And again it is the same US, imperialism which backs the white racist regimes In South Africa and Southern Rhodesia to slaughter the \frican people in cold Blood, These facts have laid bare still further the fiendish features of U.S, ime perialism as the most feroctous ‘ *nemy of the African people. The Societ revisionist renezade clique, U.S, imperfalism’s No. I accomplice, has spread all kinds of revisionist fallacies far and wide in Africa, to cater to the needs of U.S, imperialism, It has tried to d tegrate the African atriotic armed forees by cajolery nd bribery and to wndermine the in Gissau, the militar ipolitical 4He bese (} Mrictic forces lat! in thos untries As it centre the Portugues« loni- et lly carried their is, er of African patriot: \frican people’s patriotic armed slists in the region, blasting They recent! ike have gone co the rural areas ( struggle. k is common knowledge Only { control tower and three hangars, Mobutu Puppet militar tpost i rouse the masses. that over the years the Soviet by persevering in arme ree us th Struggle at home can any nation Two enemy aircraft were de- “ie Kwilu cegion, inflicting heavy In Guinea @issau), Mozambique, Tevisionist renegade clique has overthrow hated, vicious colonia! stroyed and many damaged, The Ses8 on Ue enemy troops, Thel \nvola and the Congo(k), the pat- been disbolically engaged in selle ex seous struggle mailed the lie = egotic armed forces have set ur img out the interest of the congo- dependence and liberation.

We will accept the payment in currency which will be distributed to our many communities. The Germans are now aiding the Jews in on Israel for the genocide of the Jewish people. The Germans mur- _ dered six million Jews. The American racist has taken part in’ the s zhter of over fifty million black people; therefore, we feel that this is a modest demand that we make. a 4.

We _ want MURDE We believe we can end police brutality in our black community — by organizing black self-defense groups that are dedicated to defending our black community from racist police oppression and brutality. The Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States gives a right to bear arms. We therefore believe that all black people should arm themselves for self defense. 8. We want freedom for all black men held in federal, state, ~ county and city prisons and jails. . la Minera Lil a nr bs at We believe that all black people should be released from the many jails and prisons because they have not received a fair and impartial trial. We_ believe that the courts should follow the United States Constitution so that black people will receive fair trials. The — 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution gives amanarightto be tried by his peer group. A peer is a person froma similar economic, social, religious, geographical, environmental, his- torical and racial background. To do this the court will be forced — to select a jury from the black community from which the black - defendant came. We have been, and are being tried by all-white — juries that have no understanding of the ‘‘average reasoning man’? pf the black community. } Max, 4 he east. their national destiny. When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have con- nected them with another, and to assume, among the powers of ; the earth, the separate and cqual station to which the laws of nature and nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect tothe opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

Hence, nothing support- __ ed cither the possession of a firearm or the assault charge. - As to the charge of association with individuals of bad reputation, the “THE DEBT TO SOCIETY A VERSUS SOCIETY’S PAGE 21 THE BLACK PANTHER MONDAY, FEB, 17, 1969 “IT IS ONLY A MAT- TER OF TIME UNTIL THE QUESTION OF PRISONER'S DEBT TO THE PRISONER IS INJECTED FORCEFULLY INTO NATIONAL AND STATE POL- ITICS, INTO THE CIVIL AND HUMAN RIGHTS STRUGGLE, AND INTO THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF THE BODY POLITIC. IT IS AN EXPLOSIVE ISSUE WHICH GOES TO THE VERY ROOT OF AMERICA’S SYSTEM OF JUSTICE, THE STRUCTURE OF CRIMINAL LAW, THE PREVAILING BELIEFS AND ATTITUDES TOWARD A CONVICTED FELON.” (SOUL ON ICE, P.59) Eldridge Cleaver .made the decision to politically exile himself November 27th, on the basis that the Adult Authority made an outlaw deci- sion, and that he has been denied his constitutional right to due process of law. The revocation of Cleaver’s parole wes illegal. because no parole violation was committed. The Adult Authority parole board has Wied to maintain that Cleaver violated his parole by having a rifle in his possession, and by associating with individuals of bad reputation. This contention, we will show, is false. The Adult Authority version contradicts the Superior Court order itself: “ __. Cleaver’s only handling of a firearm (the rifle) was in obedience command. He did not handle a hand gun at all. There was noth- report indicated that two or three of those named had “police records,” but nothing to show whether any had been convicted of anything, or whether Cleaver knew of their arrest record.” (Superior Court c.t. 137, 138, 140, M41) Parolee Cleaver was denied due process of law by being denied opportunity to present his case. Why was Cleaver returned to prison as apace cr : ee evidence to the contrary had been presented in his defense? 1o answer on question, one must examine the Adult Authority. This board has the right to arbitrarily revoke or suspend parole on any individual. At the same time, the Adult Authority maintains—falsely—that Cleaver has the oppor- tunity to defend himself at a hearing. This is how it works: “A parolee is served with violation charges, is interviewed, is given a hearing (before the Adult Authority itself, the charging party) at which the parolee may “plead” to the parole violation charges, and is afforded an op- portunity to present his defense.” “at the ‘hearing’ a parolee is denied the right to counsel, may not have an independent and impartial officer to conduct the hearing and make decision.” (Petition for Hearing in the Supreme Court, p- 17) Not only does the Adult Authority hold secret hearings, but it also refuses to notify persons under its jurisdiction of its Yagi egal we variable definitions of what constitutes a pee violation. This secrecy an vagueness is in direct violation of federal law which requires agencies to publish their procedures “for guidance of the public. “Petitioner (Cleaver) is immediately and seriously prejudiced by the Adult Authority's St x refusal to publish its regulations, since he is to be imprisoned by virtue of an action which the Adult Authority still seeks to garb in this ‘veil of secrecy.” (Petition for Hearing in the Supreme Court, p. 12) Yes, the Adult Authority oye unjusty and lowly Hi ce ree < sleaver ha no chance of obtaining shee uo - Moge hl asco ovate ee Why then wouldnt the U.S, Supreme Court hear Cleaver’s case? There are, we believe, three reasons Ww hy the ae 't accepted. The first is that any fair minded « court would obvious- io teve xeleesed Cleaver, thereby setting 4 precedent. The second is that Rcteemads of cases of alleged parole violation from all over California and ates would be subject to reversal. Thirdly, the illegal functioning of Beet it Authority would come under attack, The U.S, Supreme Court just couldn't afford to consider the Cleaver case during this turbulent period. , Eldridge Cleaver is a victim of naked, shameless political persecu- A tion. As Judge Sherwin puts it tradicted evidence presented to this court indicated been a model parolee. The peril to*his parole status versonal rehabilitation, but from his undue elo- goals which were offensive to many of “ The uncon that the petitioner had chad (20 no failure of quence in pursuing political goals, SPONSORS (pitta Betegi WRITERS Be James Baldwin M Aten Giewberg Hern Gold i sy Hoyt Oncar Lewis he his contemporaries. Not only was there absence of cause for the cancella- tion of parole, it was the product of a type of pressure unbecoming, to say the least, to the law enforcement paraphemalia of this state.” Cleaver is in political exile because a man of his convictions cannot get justice here. Indeed, if we are to give more lip service to the con- cepts of freedom and justice we must support him. The work to get him discharged from parole must continue. An intense publicity campaign is necessary now to bring to the public the legal defense and arguments which were carried to the courts with no satisfaction. We must all work together to focus attention of this case. This is not an issue of one man’s freedom, but a broad struggle which affirms the right of all of us to speak out politically in this country. If Cleaver is not allowed his freedom, it is just a matter of time until all our freedoms are further reduced, His is not a personal struggle but a political one.
