Everyday I sit back and listen to numerous captives blab on and on about
how “business aggressive” they are. The thing that boggles my mind is
that when the swine do something to them they bitch and cry but accept
the oppression. When another captive, however, commits the smallest
infraction only then does the aggression come out, but even that is
limited to cell warrioring and threats of violence. These displays of
traitorous behavior make it frustrating not just for myself but for
other revolutionary educators trying to show fellow captives a brighter
path.
I admit I have little patience for those who constantly complain and
antagonize the swine but leave their actions to just that while the
swine continue to oppress the captive collective. I have heard a couple
of captives talk on the run about plausible actions to address the
oppression, but just as soon as such revolutionary thought is introduced
it is struck down by another captive and this brings the end of the
conversation. It is extremely disheartening to hear such things as that.
It is also disheartening to hear captives say that we have no choice but
to accept the oppression. I don’t understand this at all because these
are the same individuals that spout off about old school hip hop like
NWA and Public Enemy who urged the masses to fight the power and say
fuck the police.
What are we getting out of fighting amongst ourselves? Nothing but
reverse progression that plays in the swine’s favor, thus opening the
doors for more oppression and lessening the value of revolutionary
thought. Why can’t we use this so-called aggression to fight the real
enemy, the grey suit swine? Even more so, why do so many speak out
against squaring off against the enemy? It’s not just backwards
aggression that is a hindrance to revolution, there is also selfishness,
greed, disdain for learning, gambling, and narco addictions, all playing
a part to hinder revolution. I say gambling and narco addictions for the
fact that a majority of captive-on-captive violence is due to gambling
in some shape or form, and narco addictions cloud the mind from being
open to revolutionary education and thought.
In my work concerning capitalism as applied to gulag functioning I urged
captives to strike against commissary and I will reiterate my stance as
commissary also provides captives fuel for conflict against other
captives. When the swine denies a captive commissary nine times out of
ten the captive will hang his head and slink off in defeat. But if a
captive doesn’t make commissary and is in debt to another captive, the
owed captive spouts off in aggression and violent temperament. Thus
commissary is swine approved extortion and needs to be boycotted as it
is a detriment to captive unity and education.
I’ll close this with my main point, we are all captives no matter race,
creed, gender, inside affiliations, outside affiliations, etc.
Oppression and exploitation do not discriminate, we are political
prisoners who have no hope as long as we remain ignorant to truth and
embracing of the poison the authoritarian elitist swine continually feed
us. Captives are not supposed to be enemies to other captives,
aggression is supposed to be used to counter elitist oppression, but the
elitists use our own aggression against us to fulfill their agenda to
neglect and oppress. To fight this we must truly gain revolutionary
insight and educate fellow captives in revolutionary politics.
MIM(Prisons) responds: The first point in the
United
Front for Peace in Prisons statement of principles is Peace: “We
organize to end the needless conflicts and violence within the U.$.
prison environment. The oppressors use divide and conquer strategies so
that we fight each other instead of them. We will stand together and
defend ourselves from oppression.” This comrade highlights some of the
ways that the system turns prisoners against each other, wasting their
energy on counter-revolutionary fights that could be put into organizing
against the criminal injustice system.
