An important anti-Vietnam war march took place in Los Angeles on Feb 28th 4,000 marched for two hours through heavy rain, and then stood for another hour in Laguna Park listening to speeches. In case that doesn't seem very special, it should be added that the people Weren Chicanos-Mexicans living California. And they were led by their own security guards, the Brown Berets, dressed in full uniform.
The slogans of the march pin-pointed the problems faced by this almostforgotten-about section of. the American "Queremos paz, justicia y libertad!" they shouted. "Quiero hijos, no heroes!" (I want sons, not heroes!) "Chicanos will not be used as cannon-fodder!" Andmost significantly—"El plieto es en el Barrio, no en Vietnam!" (The struggle is in the slums, not in Vietnam!) They are the victims of a racism every bit as pernicious and deep-seated as the white prejudice against the Negro. Advertisements put out by the big U.S. companies even exploit this prejudice as a selling. device. Lark Cigarettes show a Mexican house-painter covered with paint, looking sloppy and undependable. Camel cigarettes show a "typical" Mexican village with everyone asleep. And Arid Deodorant actually shows a Mexican bandit spraying his underarms with the caption: "If it works for him, it'll work for you".
This • is the cultural problem the Chicanos face. The physical problems are the extreme poverty of the Barrios, the high unemployment rate, the number of Chicano children forced to drop out of school. These result in a spectacularly high proportion of Chicanos ending up in Vietnam. (Draft counselling among the Chicanos hardly exists-it's strictly laid "19% of the whites get drafted; 37% of the blacks; and 48% of the Chicanos".
These statistics are echoed gruesomely in the Vietnam death-rates. The Chicano proportion of the population of California is 11%. But 23.4% of the Marine deaths of people from the area are Chitanos while the official Congressional record show that 19% of all Vietnam deaths and casualties from the Southwest were probably Chicanos (the source of this information being the surname of the person concerned).
The Chicano community has never particularly liked the United States Defence Department, as it is the largest consumer of California table-grapes-boycotte throughout the country ecause of th famous 11-year-old Chicano grape strike. Now the number of brown-skinned people being shipped off to kill-or be killed by-yellow skinned people at the orders
A STRAIGHT REPORT *** (PARIS) Napoleon's penis was withdrawn from an auction recently. Several weeks ago a Paris auction aue tioned off 12,000 dollars worth of nobody wanted to pay 40,000 dollars for his penis, described as "a small dried-up object" in the sale catalogue. So the member was replaced in a box and returned to its owner, an American business man who is now waiting for the penis market to go up.

The Black Dwarf 10th May 1970 For the Whiteman, History, past and future, is very toe Black man, Ome is shest, for his History har the Black man, been brutally interrupted and modified in such a way that the Whites did everything to prevent him from having his own, orginal development. And in the USA, we are still busy setting limits on Black people's Time and Space. Not only is each and everyone of them more withdrawn within himself but he is also imprisoned by us. And when we have to, we assassinate him Because of his exceptional political stature, Chairman Bobby Seale's trial which just started is, in fact, a political trial of the Black Panther Party and, on a more general basis, a race trial held against all of America's Blacks.
The reality of the Black colony within the United States is very complex. Disseminated as they are within a nation full of pride, which likes to think of herself as master of the world, the Blacks, spread among a White population, oppressed by the Whites' racism and indifference. threatened by an oppressive police and administration, have been forced to operate a very new type of fight, in this ery singular situation That -IS how the Black anther Party was created, first of all to defend the rights of the colonized Blacks inside the USA, then also to initiate an original political thought process.
Before the vigor of their action and the rigor of their political reflections, the Whites-and esPerA, the price had he racialing caste in the police-had a racial reaction almost immediately: since the Blacks proved that they were able to get organized, the easiest thing would be to throw discredit on their organization.
The Police were therefore able to hide the true meaning of its intentions behind unqualified pretexts; trials based on drug, murder and conspiracy charges. The fact of the matter is that they were trying to massacre those responsible for the Black Panther Party.
were taking place far away. Here and now, we are finding out that our own Colonized. which still appeared to us like shadows in our midst, are just about to become adversaries, very country:
The majority of Black people live in misery. It is not the Police which stopped drugs in the Black colonies we know that there ic a collicion hatcan started to do something about that.
But we shut our eyes, our mouths, our ears, so that the Blacks' misery would not disturb us too much. If we looked straight into American reality, we would quickly understand that the Blacks are more and more capable of taking care of their own affairs. And so the simplest, the most prudent way is to leave them in a state of physical and mental misery, in a state of absolute solitude.
Let us not be afraid of words; this misery permits comfort. To moan about bombings far away was a luxury. Our cowardice will prevent us from opening our eyes here. In order to complete this, we have set up a high-level imposture: we have granted a few, carefully chosen Blacks notoriety, and we have multiplied their image, but only so that they should become what we want them to be:
Bobby Seale and his comrades have over-stepped our boundaries, they speak and act as responsible Chi Minh.
political people, and we can't bear this. We'd rathe lave mısery for the Blacks and the racism it im plies, than to recognize the political value of the Black Panther Party.
One really has to understand that Attorney General Mitchell, by trying Bobby Seale, is trying all of us. Our liberties are being threatened more and more. May be we're not going to do anything, but our sons and daughters are faster than us, they TACTICAL revolutionary alliances. have made a hero out of Bobby Seale in his prison.
We won't do anything, and our children already are contemptful of us for not doing anything Stonybrook University should be cited as an example; when Bobby Seale was transferred to Connecticut, that University's response was to offer him a Professorship. The very day of the transfer, the University also created a Support and Defense Committee in favor of Bobby Seale and the Black Panther Party.
We have entered a period comparable to the fifties McCarthysm. The same terroism is being used against the intellectuals sympathizing with the Black Panther. Should the Police fact be accepted or fought? Should one continue to fear the Black Panther Party like a mythology, both terrible and childish, an image of which is paralyzing us?
Should one accept that the Black people, colo nized within a White empire, should attempt to free itself?
Because of the very fact that the Black Panther Party and we ourselves, White people, have th same enemy, meaning the police and, beyond th We should not let ourselves be distracted by the sexual myths which are said to be the origins of racism.
The origins of racism are socio economic. We do have to make this a very precise notion, for this is the starting point of our solidarity with the Blacks and the Black Panther Party Where the political thought-process of the Black Panthers is concerned, I am convinced that it originates in the poetical vision of the American Blacks More and more do we realize that revolutionary thought originates in this poetical emotion. This is why one has to understand that it is starting with singular poetical emotions that Mao Tsetung was brought to revolutionary consciousness, later on to the Long March, then to the revolution called the "one hundred flowers" revolution and, finally, the cultural revolution. And it was the same for Ho And so was it for the Black Panther Party which, from the poetical resources of its oppressed people, draws the means to have a rigorous revolutionary thought.
The Whites, and particularly the young, must understand that the relationship with their own revolutionary organizations must be new relationships, and that one has to organize right now I also believe that the time has come to use new vocabulary and syntax capable of making everyone better aware of the double struggle, poetical and revolutionary, of the White movements which are comparable to the Black Panthers.
Where I am concerned, for example, I also refuse the word Brother, which is too laden with evange lical sentimentalism, and when talking about the Blacks, I want to talk abour comrades in arms fighting against the same adversary.
When the Black Panthers contacted me in France, I came right away to the United States to out myself at their disposal. Your youth, your intel ect and physical agility, your moral imperatives, are capable of making you act faster than I, and with greater efficiency. This is why I am counting on you to help the Black Panther Party and to prevent Bobby Seale's trial.
One has to think that this current of culture which has been brutally interrupted by the White slave-drivers, is coming back again, not on the level of revolutionary consciousness. It is therefore a very simple, but very obvious paradox which today
Dear Editor, Referring to March 7th, 1970 copy of The Black Dwarf I find I am becoming increasingly irritated by your infuriating inverted snobbery. As a student could find much to sympathise and agree with in your on University files, but unfortunately you invalidated your arguments very nicely by continual references to an outdated ideology"class"
Yours irritatedly, Rosemary Mosley Only the working class can create a classless society, and to do so they have to struggle-to overthrow the bourgeoisie and abolish exploitation. BD WHERE IS POLITICAL POWER? Dear Dwarf Comrades, I am writing to raise a question about Fred Halliday's "People's Smashes British Imperialism." In it he says that the People's Liberation Army is firmly controlled by the party. Surely this is dangerous, as the part head must be in the capital. After all. that is where the political life of the country, be what it may, 1S concentrated. This is where the organs of central power are. The commander of the army, or guerrilla force, must descend to the city; he can always send an emissary to the mountains. The commander must be in the city to discuss political positions, when they concrete such as when sooner or later in a dangerous position, and leave him open to assassination or capture by imperialist forces. I would like to know if this is so in the Gulf. I would like to hear Fred Halliday's view on this. Life to the Revolution, Yours in the Revolution, David Nixen.
Blackburn, Lancs.
The comrade is quite right to stress hat the centres of political power in Arabia are the cities. The Sultan o Muscat lives in Mustar, and in the Gulf there % Salala, virtually no population outside of the coastal cities.
It is precisely because the city is the strongest point that it has not has begun at the weakest poolution been attacked The revolution the Dhofar countryside. By building up in the countryside it will then have a strong base from which to launch urban insurrection, and the urban strongholds of the regime will be weakened.
This was the strategy Chinese revolution, and it raises the estion of how to easie politica and strategic communication betwee town and countryside. At the initial stage of the struggle a revolutionary leadership need not be physically in the towns, but it has to know the conditions in the towns and maintain constant contact with them. The rural guerilla war itself cannot be launched without prior political preparation in both town and countryside.
In Latin America the rural strategy has been largely abandoned: revolutionaries there have adopted cannot be overemphasised. There are people from ALL nations, and if we can form militants here, the movement will spread all over the world when they return to their various countries. Our efforts are concentrated on the youth of the International School of Geneva, the school that we go to, and we have started a weekly underground newspaper, called "Barricade Fraternally, The Action Committee of Revolutionaries in Geneva.
BLAST Comrades, During tea break discussions at our steelworks we found great difficulty in explaining the editorial of Dwarf (32) to our fellow workers. Apart from this one half page of very confused thinking we found Dwarf (32) to be most informative.
In further discussion at home one of our workmates put forward the view that the editorial was somewhat out of tone with the rest of the Dwarf and he was sure that middle class confusion and petty bourgeois radical ideals were once again seeping into We suggest that you take panese revolutionary pages.
We suggest leaf from Uncle Josephs book and eradicate those responsible.
Remember that the revolution is for the working class and not for the sake of middle class polemics. And when the revolution comes, and comrades it fucking will, then beware, for present diversionary blind alley intellectualizing will have to answered for, and those responsible crushed, eaten, shitted out and used as fertilzer.
Greetings Comrades.

Dear Comrade We liked your article on the squat in Abour Square, but we want to make our position clear about what happens when the Courts decide against us and the police and bailiffs move in. In Tower Hamlets the issue is more than merely a punch-up with any old Council. The trick." The Tenants' Associations are showing increased interest in our own small movement, and with the broadening of the housing issue it becomes easier to politicise those who suffer under the policies of this Labour Government.
If you agree with us, please help us. Fraternally, Tony Mahony op. Campaign to clear, Hostels and Slum 3 Osborn St., E.1 As we go to press we have just heard tha the Council has now moved against the squatters Arbour Square. Gas, electricity and water have been cut off. and the squatters are preparing themselves to fight.
The left should give these people as much assistance as possible-which can be done by ringing 4964 if the struggle is still on. But in giving them this support we must also ask some questions about the usefulness of this kind of activity in relation to the more general question which must always be our ultimate priority: the development of a mass revolutionary movement.
What, in fact, are the priorities of Comrade Mahony's Campaign? • Is he primarily concerned with exposing the Labour Party? Or is he primarily concerned with the housing situation as a political issue? Or is he primarily conLerned with the squatters themselves? I the first, what are the arguments for using squatting to expose the Labour Party, as opposed to other forms of political action? If the second, Comrade Mahony must justify this particular form of direct action as the best method of demonstrating the political realities of the housing situation If he is primarily concerned with the squatters themselves, then victory in a confrontation with the council is vitally important.
We must also ask questions about the idea of "using the issue correctly." I/ Comrade Mahony's intention is to expose the Labour Party, then what campaigning has his group done against Labour? What political questions has he raised? What issues (besides the squat itself) are being used? In other words, what political pre paration, groundwork and propaganda are being carried out?
As regards the confrontation itself. We agree that confrontations can have the effect of raising political understanding. But only when they are conducted in a political manner-when politics is ir command. The confrontation alone wil not do the job for us, any more than a skinhead who has a fight with a policeman will immediately gain a great insight into the nature of the capitalist system. We must also ask what Comrade Mahony is doing o make the confrontation bigger in term of getting local support-as opposed t getting support from leftists from othe parts of London via letters to the Blac Dwarf The essence of the problem Comrade Mahony faces is this: our article on the squat, while giving the squatters full support, also raised the problem of how the masses relate to this form of struggle While Comrade Mahony seems conscious of the limitations of squatting as a method of developing a mass-based movement, we still do not feel that he has satisfactorily answered this important question.
