The Sword and the Cross of Colonization in the Americas

By Alejandra Garcia

Every October 12, the peoples of the Americas remember the first arrival of Christopher Columbus to the New World, in 1942, as a date that marks a milestone in the history of genocide, plunder and exploitation. Far from being a day of celebration, it is a day of struggle, of resistance to oblivion.

It is impossible to deny the transcendence of what happened in 1492: the arrival of the values and appetites of the nascent capitalist society, the beginning of the globalization of the world and the conversion of human history into one single history, and even the division of the world as we know it today.

From Cuba to Palestine: The enduring spirit of Che Guevara inspires global resistance

By Colby Byrd

Che Guevara’s story is not just about an individual. Rather, it captures the many stories of all those who worked, fought, struggled, and died during the Cuban Revolution. It is the collection of all of those stories, all of those lives lived and ended, that freed Cuba from its imperialist domination. This focus on others is important to keep close to the heart of any revolutionary struggle at any level of intensity.

‘Create Two, Three … Many Vietnams’

By Che Guevara

Everything indicates that peace, this unstable peace which bears that name for the sole reason that no worldwide conflagration has taken place, is again in danger of being destroyed by some irrevocable and unacceptable step taken by the United States.

What role shall we, the exploited people of the world, play? The peoples of the three continents focus their attention on Vietnam and learn their lesson. Since imperialists blackmail humanity by threatening it with war, the wise reaction is not to fear war. The general tactics of the people should be to launch a constant and a firm attack in all fronts where the confrontation is taking place.

In those places where this meager peace we have has been violated which is our duty? To liberate ourselves at any price.

August 21, 1971: Assassination of Comrade George Jackson, revolutionary communist and Black Panther Party prison leader.

He said in his book “Soledad Brother”: “I met Marx, Lenin, Trotsky, Engels and Mao … and they redeemed me. For the first four years, I studied nothing but economics and military ideas.“

He joined the Black Panther Party from his jail cell and wrote about the difference between reform and revolution in his last book, "Blood in My Eye”:

“Reshuffle the government personnel and forms, without changing property relations and economic institutions, and you have produced simply another reform stage in the old bourgeois revolution. The power to alter the present imbalances … rests with control over production and distribution of wealth….

"Revolutionary change means the seizure of all that is held by the 1 percent, and the transference of these holdings into the hands of the remaining 99 percent. If the 1 percent are simply displaced by another 1 percent, revolutionary change has not taken place.”

As revolutionaries operating in the U.S. – in the belly of the imperialist beast – we have a responsibility to learn from socialist Vietnam’s achievements and educate the masses about them. Our enemies are your enemies, and the example of Vietnam gives us encouragement that we can win.
