From a California prisoner
July 2004
Today I finished going over some of MIM Theory 2/3, Chapter 5. As always, I'm kinda speechless, but educated at the same time. You guys made a lot of straight-up points. Especially when you mentioned how the Black Panthers denied Kathleen. Also over the fact how they preached no male chauvinism but contradicted their ideologies.
What some seemed to have forgotten or egotistically ignored was that revolutionary feminism is necessary to steer the party on course (pg101, ch5)
Also, that once they accept a theory, they should've been willing to struggle through its costs and not opportunistically closed they're eyes to it. In doing that, I doubt the FBI would've easily created so much dissention and disruption within the party through missives. (Pg86)
This is what happens when a person becomes an empiricist, he/she loses his/her line to contradictions. People become things in a revolution, and half the time don't even know because we forget the words and meanings especially in this capitalist country with all its distractions.
You guys made good points about the no pornography in prison. Over the profiting from women that are subjected to these First World men's rape. And we don't just talk physically by force, but through money and verbal submission, through the selling of sex while these war mongers go overseas for business.
I don't accept these as happy theories but of truth by scientific theory. When I last sent MIM a semi-essay over the title of feminism, I was not straight and educated about the true variations of feminism. Instead I was pragmatic: In the sense I knew about the need of a woman's strength in a movement, and how men in the movement thought women to be weak and an non-contributing factor, as if they don't believe independent political movements are necessary to change men and women.
Women or feminists have political movements all the time for their independence, especially in the Third World. Been successful too!
Combining these two independences are/is a true revolution waiting to happen through class, because everyone controls, through nations because everyone is in common, and through genders cause humans tend to overlap anyways - line, strategy and tactics.
