WORLD WIDE AFRICA THE VOICE OF THE PAN AFRICAN MOVEMENT

"Analysis of the oppressed mentality and the Psychopathic personality that accrue from contact with the prevarications of Amerikan culture must be carefully integrated with the analysis of the source.  Simple interptetation of effects tends to calcify --it certainly promotes defeatism. "Action makes the front."  One can quietly refuse to accept the constrictions of bourgeois culture, can reject himself, hate the self and turn inward.  By so doing he accomplishes a form of individual revolt, but here again we find another unconscious manifestation of the thing we hate---individualism---a now attitudinal instrumentality of bourgeois culture.  We cannot escape--one simply cannot reject constrictions without rejecting and putting to death the constructor.  An armed attacker cannot be ignored.  Gandhi and the gurus were all abject fools.  I would certainly be dead if, when critical flash points matured, I hadn't backed my rejection with blows, I would hate to have been a Vietnamese in My Lai without arms.  I hate encounters like the one at my last court appearance on April 6, 1971*when the enemies who attacked me ahead all the weapons.  I would hate to run into freaks who have Mike Hammer/ J. Edgar Hoover complexes without being armed.  My pledge is to arms, my enemies are institutions and any men with vested intrest in them, even if that interest is only a wage. If revolution means civil war---I accept, and the sooner the better.
