AZ AG begs Biden to seal the border, it might be “too late” (video)

Revolution is a fight by the people for power. It is a changing of power in which existing social and economic relations are turned upside down.
It is a fight for who runs things in particular, for control by the people of what we communists call the means of production, the means by which people eat, work, protect themselves from the cold and the rain, get around, raise children and build.

The imperialists now control the means by which these necessities of life get produced and distributed. They determine what gets producted, what cost in human effort, under what conditions, and who gets what’s produced. This is complete control over people’s lives. It is economic power and more.
It involves and implicates people in a system over which they have little control; a system which includes unprecedented slaughter of Black, Puerto Rican, Chicano, and Indian people, the subjagation of women, daily control and extraction of maximum profit from the people’s work, the development of a fantastic arsenal of weapons (including nuclear arms) in the control of imperialists. It intimately affects day-to-day behavior, thoughts, values, potential and hopes.
Only the pressure of the struggle of the mass of people humanizes this system at all. It is an illusion that imperialism will decay peacefully.
Imperialism means constant war. Imperialists defend their control of the means of life with terrible force. There is no reason to believe they will become human or relinquish power. As matters detoriate for imperialism, there is every reason to believe they will tighten control, pass their contradictions on to the people, and struggle for every last bit of power. To not prepare the people for this struggle is to disarm them ideologically and physically and to perpetuate a cruel hoax.

Armed struggle has come into being in the United States. It is an indication of growth that our movement has developed clandestine organizations and that we are learning how to fight. The development of guerilla organizations and armed activity against the state is most advanced in the Black community, where the tradition and necessity for resistance is highest. The crises of the society provide the training grounds; for Third World people, the conditions of prison, the army, the streets and most oppressive jobs produce warriors, political theorists, and active strategists.
The Black Liberation Army, fighting for three years under ruthless attack by the state, the fighters in prisons, and recently the Symbionese Liberation Army are leading forces in the development of armed struggle and political consciousness, respected by ourselves and other revolutionaries.

At this early stage in the armed clandestine struggle, our forms of combat and confrontation are few and precise. Our organized forces are small, the enemy’s forces are huge. We live inside the oppressor nation, particularly suited to urban guerilla warfare. We are strategically situated in the nerve centers of the international empire, where the institutions and symbols of imperial power are concentrated. The cities will be a major battleground, for the overwhelming majority of people lie in the cities; the cities are our terrain.

We believe that carrying out armed struggle will affect the people’s consciousness of the nature of the struggle against the state. By beginning the armed struggle, the awareness of its necessity will be furthered. This is no less true in the US than in other countries throughout the world.
