Positive Education Always Creates Elevation
I am writing as a representative of the Five Percent Nation of Gods and
Earths(5PNGE). Although I cannot speak in authority on behalf of all
Five Percenters, I aim to show how our nation’s fundamental principles
are in line with those of the
United Front
for Peace in Prison.
The
first
principle of PEACE is in line with the third principle of “What we
will Achieve.” Peace being the absence of confusion and chaos within
ourselves, our communities, our nation, and the world. The attainment of
PEACE in any fashion stems first from education and the subsequent
enlightenment of the individual. Once the oppressed are emancipated from
the mental slavery that results from the thorough indoctrination of
self-destructive concepts presented by the imperialist elite, then we
can truly stand together and defend ourselves from the now known enemy.
The imperialist machine has done a great job of placing false labels
upon us to keep us separated rendering us unable to attain any true
Umoja amongst ourselves.
The first principle of “What we will achieve” (National Consciousness)
is in line with the principles of Unity, Growth, and Internationalism in
that national consciousness is the awareness that “we are all one
people, regardless of geographical origins and that we must work and
struggle as one if we are to liberate ourselves from the domination of
outside forces” and destroy white supremacy, white privilege and
imperialism once and for all. The labels Latino, African Amerikan,
Asian, and Native American only help to separate us and keep us from
realizing that we are only truly one people who share a common history.
Somos originales. As the descendants of the fathers and mothers of
civilization we have an obligation to humanity to restore the true
culture of communal living and peace.
Now although the 5PNGE seeks to unite people of color and firmly resist
white supremacy/privilege in all its forms, we do not exclude whites
from our ranks. This transition is difficult for many whites because
they are forced to realize that the overwhelming cultural history of
Europeans consists of colonialism, murder, enslavement, and general
exploitation of the world’s inhabitants. After coming under study and
rejecting this devilish, destructive legacy they have the opportunity to
join the struggle of the Original People and overthrow the Devils
Un-civilization (the imperialist machine).
The 5PNGE finds independence through the second principle of “what we
will achieve”: community control. This consists of regaining control of
the educational, economic, political, media, and health institutions
within our communities for ourselves. We must have control on the
collective level so that we can maintain and advance the civilization.
The current political/socio-economic system does not serve us as a
people because it was not established for us. The United $nakes of
Amerikkka (as well as all other imperialist countries that make up
un-civilization) was born on the backs of the exploited class. It is
futile to rely on the slave masters for substance when we have in us the
tools to sustain ourselves in a more productive manner than any program
the current system may provide.
Now although ULK serves as a forum for political and
revolutionary discourse, it is the responsibility of all within the
5PNGE as well as all other LOs as part of the United Front for Peace in
Prison to educate those individuals still blinded by the propaganda of
the mainstream. Revolutionary education will build revolutionary minds
equipped with the tools to make revolutionary actions. Remember
P.E.A.C.E. Positive Education Always Corrects Errors.
MIM(Prisons) responds: Overall we have a lot of unity with this
comrade, which demonstrates the ability of organizations with different
ideologies to unite on common principles. We agree it is the goal of the
United Front for Peace in Prisons to unite lumpen organizations in the
struggle while pushing them to a higher level of political action and
understanding. We hope that others with 5PNGE will take up this
comrade’s call for unity of the oppressed and all who oppose
imperialism. 5PNGE takes a religious focused approach to the struggle,
while Maoists use the scientific method based in dialectical
materialism, but when we both arrive at the same anti-imperialist
conclusions then we we have fundamental unity at this stage in the
struggle.
