mr. Ho Know you say that the ends do not justify the means. And violence should never be the
solution t
o the problem.
Let's examine your statement in a historical sense if people in vietnam, cuba, Nicaragua, and other
oppressed countries heeded your advice they
would be still exploited nations for any imperialist power to mess with. These countrie
s decided not
to pray and hope and get run over by cars while standing in front of them.
They decided to DEFEND themselves against exploitation.Violence in defense of yourself, your
community, and your nation is not violence at all it is simple c
ommon sense.
I suggest you read Bobby Seales Seize The Time or Huey Newtons To die For the people. And
while your at your campus store pick up some works by Che Guevera, Fidel Castro, Mao ZA
Dong, and Frantz Fanon.
Oh and just to leave you wit
h something to think about, Sometimes you have to have war to have
Peace.
