A Revolutionary Love Letter
January 10, 2022
Dear fellow beings,
I am writing this to remind you how great you are. During our short
stay on this glorious planet we all have been collectively dehumanized
and reduced to political talking points — Black, white, liberal,
conservative, Christian, criminal, boss, worker, activist, etc. We
have been educated to use our minds narrowly and forced to identify
ourselves with roles that trap us in a collective perpetual state of
anxiety.
We have forgotten how harmonious this thing called life is and have
fallen victim to a vicious circle of pain and suffering.
Many of our friends are suffering from a deep feeling of alienation.
They have accepted the belief that we live on this little planet in a
solar system on the edge of a galaxy — a minor galaxy — and concede,
“Ah, well — we really are unimportant after all. God isn’t there and
he doesn’t love us, our government doesn’t love us, our neighbor
doesn’t love us and nature doesn’t give a damn.”*
Our sick, manipulated brethren will weaponize common sense and tell us
to “face to facts” — as if facts are something outside of us as if
life were something we encounter as foreigners*. They will tell us
that communism and collectivism has never and will never work and
refuse to even explore these “childish” (or inferior) ideas.
Admittedly, some ideas and feelings are difficult to understand — not
because they are intellectually complicated, but because they are
unfamiliar or estranged. We simply have not been brought up to
accommodate them.*
Likewise, the biggest lie we tell ourselves is that serious adults do
not play the games of children such as hide and seek*. The sobering
reality is that both juveniles and older people are playing a lifelong
game of hide and seek where we all try to avoid sinning, getting shot,
or getting locked up — a game where you must avoid hell, jail, and the
graveyard at all costs.
Our situation is one of political warfare and for many of our friends,
politics on this land has meant nothing but confronting the violent
tools of racist bullies and sick killers who view the world as a
system of mutual exploitation and maximal selfishness. Out of this
negative conception, we, the people, yearn to create new rules for our
grown-up game.
While we can redefine politics as the desire of individuals and groups
to satisfy their basic needs first: food, shelter and clothing, and
security for themselves and their loved ones — some of our so-called
Black leaders endorse a tactic of confrontation reducible to simply
voting for Democrats and holding political offices. As Huey Newton
puts it, “The Black leaders have led the community to believe that
brutality and force could be ended by subjecting the people to this
very force of self-sacrificing demonstrations.”
By expecting someone else to take full responsibility for our
liberation, these reactionary so-called Black leaders are committing
an act of political suicide. The revolutionary consciousness of the
masses must understand that the struggle against the negative forces
of genocide and fascism will not end at the ballot box of the ruling
class. Attempting to get within one of the two major parties has
caused our leaders to become co-opted with their interests shunted to
the background. They have become expendable.
Kwame Ture writes: “Perhaps there was an additional naive assumption
that all that was needed was to elect a few powerful and talented
black mayors, appoint some black police chiefs and heads of school
districts, and by all means register and vote. Surely, this process of
playing by the rules would lead to improvement, not decline in status.
Surely, such efforts would yield more than negligible benefit. But
this has proved not to be the case: Now, in 1992, there is abundant
evidence that blacks are more alienated and frustrated than two
decades ago.”
Further, Newton again reminds us, “A spiritual death has been the
experience of millions of Black people in the United States. This
death is found everywhere today in the Black community. Its victims
have ceased to fight the forms of oppression that drink their blood.
The common attitude has long been: What’s the use? If a man rises up
against a power as great as the United States, he will not survive.
Believing this, many Blacks have been driven to a death of the spirit
rather than of the flesh, lapsing into lives of quiet desperation. Yet
all the while, in the heart of every Black, there is the hope that
life will somehow change in the future.”
As dialectical materialists, we do not believe that life will somehow
change in the future, but rather we objectively understand that life
is always in a constant state of change, transformation, and flux.
Accepting this premise, we move in the present moment to rid ourselves
of outdated programs and modalities that lead to our self-destruction
and begin to help the massesdefine their needs, realize their
strength, and go into action along a variety of lines which they must
choose for themselves.
Before I close, I invite you to read the closing remarks of Newton’s
Resolutions and Declarations:
“There can be no real freedom until the
imperialist-world-enemy-number-one-has been stripped of his power and
put in his rightful place as one of the people rather than
the ruler of the people. Then and only then will unity and harmony
truly prevail. So we resolve to liberate our communities in order that
we might serve the true interests of the community.
We who are gathered here by our presence do indicate that we
believe that every community has the right to define, determine and
control institutions so that they reflect the integrity of the
community.
Therefore we declare that all communities of the world have the
freedom to determine their own destinies. We declare that all
communities, by their very existence, have the power to specify what
institutions will be set up within them and what cultural values will
be propagated through them. We declare that all communities have the
right to determine what laws will govern their territories and what
officials will be placed in leadership.
We who are gathered here do declare by our presence that the
physical and social characteristics of the people of our communities
shall never be used as a basis for exclusion from any aspect of life
in our communities.
We declare that our goal is to destroy all elements of the
oppression. We pledge ourselves to end imperialism and distribute the
wealth of the world to all the people of the world. We foresee a
system of true communism where all people produce according to their
abilities and all receive according to their needs.
Recognizing the possibility of a cultural lag between the
destruction of the oppression and the erection of a new world based on
that which makes us human, we call for all people in the communities
throughout the world to participate and be represented in decision
making in direct proportion to their presence in the population under
consideration. Whether on an intercommunal level, a regional level, or
on a local level, we hold that all people have the right to
proportional representation within the framework of revolutionary
intercommunalism and communism.
We are here gathered for the solemn purpose of formulating a new
constitution for a new world. We must become even more conscious of
who we are and why we are in these circumstances. Then we must change
these circumstances and construct a new world which makes use of all
the technology and knowledge we have accumulated. When we have
developed a system that functions in the true interests of the people
and established it in full, then the word “work” will be redefined as
meaningful play. We will have eliminated the cause of all our problems
and can live according to a Constitution of Revolutionary People.”
My call to action is simple. Voting and petitioning will not be
sufficient for our liberation, but in the current moment it will be
strategically used to reach the masses. I do not want to speak of a
long road ahead of us because no such road exists. We are already here
and it begins with you. Secure your number amongst the billion and
commit yourself to win a new world side by side with a united left
front. “From all according to ability.” Radicalize your natural
environment, organize the people around you, and watch our numbers
grow.
All Power To The People,
Quintez Brown

The question is what did you do in 2022 when six people died in your
city’s jail in less than three months. Six people. As @The490Project
said, one life is too many, but six is a disgrace to us all
LOUISVILLE. Please follow @The490Project & @ACLUofKY for action steps.

Today another person died in Louisville’s jail, bringing the total to
6 in recent weeks. Dangerous conditions are fueled by overcrowding
made worse by cash bail. Roughly 74% of the people detained in
Louisville jails are there only because they cannot afford bail.

Amir Locke was referred to as a “suspect” four times in the

didn't know, and the Chief said they didn't then have as much info as
they do now, and they're unclear if he's even connected to St. Paul's

Bodycams show us almost everything the MPD told us about Amir Locke's
killing is a lie. The officers snuck into the apartment, did not
announce themselves, surprised him, he did not aim a weapon at
officers. The shots fired were, of course, from them. Also, he was not
a suspect.
