Ericka Huggins' statement read by Elaine Brown (Episode 8 of 12); United front against fascism conference

Always very few words of my own because America said just about anything there is to say regarding the fascist treatment not only of herself but of all of the excuse me the political prisoners. This was written in Nyanza prison on July 8th of this year. Long live the united front against fascism. Down with the reactionaries of all kinds. It is impossible to say what I feel now. It would take too long and the state doesn't offer enough paper. But because none of us can be with you I will try. I can envision as I write the people that will hear this I can see their faces I can feel their warmth the warmth the comrades often have for each other. I can also see the faces of some who always appear among the people. The wherry and the brutal faces of the agents of fascism. Worry because they know that people poor people oppressed people gathered together buckle one reason to analyze the conditions of the oppression and wipe it out

empty because they have no feeling for the masses of people for the souls of the revolutionaries we have lost for the starving babies of this country and the world. And brutal because they will fight to the last ditch to destroy the revolutionary fervor of the people. They all continue to run back pointing to the oppressors about the people's plans to rise up. They fail however to realize that the masses have boundless creative power. And no matter how they kick ass beat us kill us or jail us the people will carry on. I see the faces of change. I hope that many minds are open to what is happening. I know that many years have been listening to the fountains as America spits out at the world. We have listened too long and the bitch mouth wreaking of death says we have fairly oppressed our people at home. We are succeeding at keeping Vietnam in a state of decay. We are trampling on Africa we are destroying South America making

bigger and better alliances with Russia. We have only to wait for MT to die and we will be the world power and then we will place our murder on the moon. America is plotting universal imperialism. It will be the same everywhere. First Coca-Cola. Then ask the mildness and then the troops. Right on it. The people cannot take this. We cannot allow fascist fanatics who continue to deprive us of our human rights. We must organize and form an everlasting united front against capitalism against imperialism against class distinctions against racism against fascism. We cannot allow concessions from the federal government for the continual harassment and unwarranted brutality of the people. We cannot allow our children be they black Mexican Indian Japanese Chinese or white to be mis educated and degraded in America's degenerate

school system. We cannot allow any more lynchings bombing and racial ignorance down south up sound. We cannot we cannot allow unions any longer to drive the working class. The working class must drive the unions. Our fight must be endless. To organize the workers of this country. To overhaul and change every assembly line in every factory. We cannot allow medical services in our communities to remain inadequate. We need more hospitals more doctors more nurses and less insistence on the descent of genocide or birth control. We cannot allow the reformers to clean up the surface while the inner structure rots. We need a revolution. All of our thoughts. Each of our actions should lead us to one goal. The emptying of the ship that fills the bowels of this country. We can no longer allow the censuses of anarchy and arbitrary destruction. We need no more impulsive opportunistic movements groups or political parties that endure and socialistic rhetoric.

We need socialism in practice. For example as the US regulars and peer inside. We need people of all colors who realize the vanguard of the People's Revolutionary camp must be the most oppressed. Those who always rely on action to tested and proven theory. We must allow no backsliders liberal chauvinist Renegades will back into agents to cause confusion in our ranks and on the other hand we have no need for dogmatism and coercive force. We need unity among oppressed people and an understanding of Marxist Leninist principles so that we may put our knowledge into revolutionary practice. The future of the political prisoners of Connecticut and Colorado looks thing at this point. But in times of difficulty we cannot lose sight of our achievements. We must see the bright future for the

people and pick up our courage. We realize that there are people that support us and that however long will remain here. We serve as a catalyst to gauge and to move the people forward. I'm trying to speak for all of us. Landon Williams and Laura highs who are rammed into a hole with no food for all Smiths who will bear a child in December for the isolated political prisoners and for other prisoners in Connecticut. I cannot say what they feel but I know they want to be with the people I know the nights are sleepless like mine because they want to take their places on the streets with the people I know the New York 21 want to be with you. I know Huey the Chicago 16 and all of the political prisoners long to be there. I know Pop on this is America's congested streets but we are there in spirit and revolutionary agreement. We only ask that you realize who. Your real friends and your real enemies are. We must draw a clear line of demarcation between the oppressors and the oppressed. Between the imperialist or the internationalist between the pigs and the people who sits next to you.

All power to the oppressed people along with the People's Revolutionary Struggle. Long live the minister of defense. Free all political prisoners. As Eric Holder Townsend. Thanks.
