"You are peeved because the Black Panther Party in- forms itself with the revolutionary principles of Marxism- Leninism, but if you look around the world you will see that the only countries which have liberated themselves and managed to withstand the tide of the counterrevolution are precisely those countries that have strong Marxist-Leninist parties. All those countries that have fought for their liberation solely on the basis of nationalism have fallen victims to capitalism and neo-colonialism, and in many cases now find themselves under tyrannies equally as oppressive as the former colonial regimes. “That you know nothing about the revolutionary process is clear; that you know even less about the United States and its people is clearer; and that you know still less about humanity than you do about the rest is even clearer. You speak about an 'undying love for black people.' An undying love for black people that denies the humanity of other people is doomed. It was an undying love of white people for each other which ¥ed them to deny the humanity of colored people and which has strip- ped white people of humanity itself. It would seem to me that an undying love for our people would, at the very least, lead you toa strategy that weuld aid our struggle for liberation instead of leading you into a coalition of purpose with the McCleljan Committee in its attempt to destroy the Black Panther Party. "Well, so long, Stokely, and take care. And beware of some white folks and of some black folks, because I assure you that some of both of them have teeth that will bite. Remember _ what Brother Malcolm said in his Autobiography: ‘We had the _} best organization that the black man has ever had in the United * States--and niggers ruined it!' POWER TO THE PEOPLE!
