RE: GEORGE JACKSON BRIGADE adherence to Marxist-Leninism, and to the example of South > American communist guerilla leader Che Guevara. According to the GJB communigques and writings, the GJB sees the inter- national business monopolies of the world, holding the world's masses, particularly those in the "third world" (including Africans, Asians, Latinos and in a large sense, women in general) in a vice of oppression. The GJB, by committing violent acts and publishing communiques, apparently envisions itself as a kind of fulcrum upon which a great communist inspired uprising can be successfully mounted, as promised in the writings of KARL MARX, and the masses will thereby be freed to live in peace, without want. Unlike other recent student-revolutionary groups, the GJB does not envision itself as an "elite" faction that will provide a leadership faction for an ultimate revolutionary government, and criticizes those groups who would place them- selves in such a role. Rather, the GJB sees itself more as a catalyst to make the masses aware of their oppressed state, and inspire them to create their own general uprising to overthrow their "oppressors".
