“Every Communist must grasp the truth: Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.”
- Mao Zedong, ”Problems of War and Strategy,” November 6, 1938
From the 10-Point Program of the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense:
We Want An Immediate End To Police Brutality And Murder Of Black People.
We believe we can end police brutality in our Black community by organizing Black self-defense groups that are dedicated to defending our Black community from racist police oppression and brutality. The Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States gives a right to bear arms. We therefore believe that all Black people should arm themselves for self- defense.”
