In fact, group and collec• tive discussion on each topic of this guide, as well as the supple• ments to follow, should serve as the basic format for cadre politi• cal education classes. Each area command is encouraged to repro• duce this study guide in the exact fornat set out here, any dele• tions, modifications, or changes must be cleared through the CC.

COORDINATING COMMITTAL NYURBA BLACK MAT ION PART I THE NATURE OF BLACK REVOLUTION As Black Revolutionaries we recognize the existence of the Black Nation in diaspora. That is to say we hold that the tens of millions of Black people scattered throughout the amerikkan indus• trial centers constitute an oppressed nation, a colony. We seek the liberation of that colony--as a nation, and not as a mere class : or racial minority. In other words, we reject Proletarian Revolu• tion in the generally accepted sense of the term, and opt for Black ' Revolution. - •:/ivj^'ui*. it 1 •,: f: iPV:: For the Black Nation we boldly seek a land base in which our people can live in peace, brother/sisterhood, and human dignity. Upon this land we would cut ourselves aloose, in so far as it is possible, from all ties with capitalism, and establish a human soci• ety, a system of socialism in which the means of production are owned by the whole people; where there is equitable distribution of ; wealth, and the spiritual and intellectual development of no person suffers because of economic want or deprivation of human rights. We identify the enemies of the Black Nation--not as white peo• ple per se, but as the Monopoly capitalist class and its agents--be they black or white. While we fully acknowledge the uniqueness of the black soul, and are aware of its beauty and latent power, and are convinced that its creativity has only barely been scratched-- and to some extent we concede that manv of us harbor a certain amount of black chauvinism, yet we are not reverse racist. We do not seek to deny the essential humanity of other races, nor seek to ex- 1 ploit or oppress, or necessarily exclude other races. If there are black crime, killer cops, last hired and firs! fired. All this and those among other races, such as John Brown, the S.L.A., the Wea• more can be traced ultimately to the imperatives of the bourgeois ther people, Chicanos or whomsoever, who can grasp our vision of a systems of money-making.
