It's Definitional
and, it appears, consistent...
Zombie has done it again—found William Ayers’ 1974 ideological manifesto for himself and the Weather Underground. Fascinatin’ stuffs - I highly recommend a perusal of his scans of the original. [Zombie likes to document stuff—and does it well.]
Here’s a taste:
Socialism is the total opposite of capitalism/imperialism. It is the rejection of empire and white supremacy. Socialism is the violent overthrow of the bourgeoisie, the establishment of the dictatorship of the proletariat, and the eradication of the social system based on profit. Socialism means control of the productive forces for the good of the whole community instead of the few who live on hilltops and in mansions. Socialism means priorities based on human need instead of corporate greed. Socialism creates the conditions for a decent and creative quality of life for all.
So says “Billy” Ayers, proto-revolutionary and bomb-thrower in his almost-forgotten product, Prairie Fire: The Politics of Revolutionary Anti-Imperialism.
Our intention is to disrupt the empire, to incapacitate it, to put pressure on the cracks, to make it hard to carry out its bloody functioning against the people of the world, to join the world struggle, to attack from the inside.
Plus ca change, plus c’est la meme chose, non?
