Fred Hampton on the importance of revolutionary education

[@j-note3285]

The alleged "violent" revolutionary aggressor is actually advocating the use of books instead of guns.

[@truizzm4437]

Very Important

[@Matice21]

Exactly! Black violence wasn’t the true threat but educated blacks and any type of unification was the real threat. Blacks slaves were prohibited from reading which kept people like Fred from rising up.

[@Ashley-1917]

I mean they definitely advocated the use of guns (which is good), but equally important is knowing how to use them, when, where, and who to use them against. All of these things require education.

[@Tremont24]

Don’t get it twisted. The gun was in one hand and the book was in the other. Guerrilla warfare is a central part of the Black Panther Party, like many other revolutionary movements.

[@wolfwoodphreak]

he was so upset that his peers didn't even consider education important enough to write on their charter that he literally dropped all conversation to discuss how unacceptable it is that they don't insist on educating the people.. THAT is true vision and leadership

[@jacob_ian_decoursey_the_author]

This man could have changed the course of this country. This man was a unifier. This man was a hero. That’s why our government killed him.

[@Retalak]

But yet, apparently there is a "Marxist bias" in public education according to these neo-fascist culture warers like DeSantis.

[@manrightchea]

Why the fuck would you expect your enemy to teach you anything beneficial to you? You fucking people need to wake up. But because you don't realize you're in a war you're too stupid to understand that you don't have the people that raped stole and slaved and tortured your forefathers teach your children.

[@chillaholic_3522]

He said “Let me give you an example” and the guy next to him immediately started grabbing a pen. That’s leadership.

[@va3svd]

And who then proceeds to babble out pure garbage which they all gobble up mindlessly. How this man can be revered while history has shown how utterly clueless he was is an absolute mystery. Never mistake charisma for leadership, and especially put an asterisk beside it when all the followers were mindless sycophants.

Respect from Kenya. I see that he recognized Jomo Kenyatta as the revolutionary he was, many locally find it hard to acknowledge this primarily due to tribal differences because they descended from collaborators who often betrayed revolutionaries.

[@brncmp61]

Came here today as I watch what is going on in the Caribbean with both Haiti and Cuba post-revolution... Chairman Hampton was a revolutionary but almost as importantly, he was a visionary

[@Elwrt455]

Fred Hampton was a charismatic and articulate orator

[@Better4YourSoulFood]

That man was different on so many levels

[@JeBubbieSpubbies]

Rest in power, comrade. He's completely right. Without theory to guide the praxis, without learning from the mistakes and lessons of the past, you're doomed to repeat the cycle. Time and time again, without a robust and educated line of professional revolutionaries who can *also* train more professional revolutionaries from the masses, your movement will be easily co-opted into another tool of oppression. An example that rings close to home for my family is Mexico under the PRI. A one-party state that held almost complete control over Mexico for 70 years, the official ideology of the party changed with whoever was on top. In reality, once Lazaro Cardenas was essentially removed from office the PRI devolved into a brutal kleptocracy. It swung from reformist and social democratic to far-right gangster capitalism within short order, and to this day Mexico remains a hollowed-out kleptoctacy.

[@Banana_Split_Cream_Buns]

It's good to see someone finally use the term "Rest in Power" in the correct context. Too many people using it to commemorate the deaths of particularly middle class white liberals. It's for those whose life was robbed by an oppressor.

[@onion599]

Failure of Marxist education was even one of the reasons the eastern bloc fell. I remember reading Blackshirts and Reds and Parenti mentioned a "communist" politician from Hungary that said that their system wasn't working and when Parenti asked why he answered "I don't know."

[@MN-kp2lm]

@@onion599 Wtf is that supposed to mean. Eastern bloc fell due to material rather than ideological conditions no?

[@jimmyjohnson1870]

@@MN-kp2lm Still, it's important to consider why it was communism was so quick to be replaced in Eastern Europe without military enforcement. There are valuable lessons to be learned from their history. I wouldn't chalk up the current dissolutionment many people have with socialism to just capitalist propaganda or other hand-wavy assumptions alone.

[@robsonbarstow9355]

He wouldn’t have been able to do anything. A revolution tears down the old system of government and replaces it with a system built by the people, only then can it truly represent them. As Marx said, “But the working class cannot simply lay hold of the ready-made state machinery, and wield it for its own purposes. The centralized state power, with its ubiquitous organs of standing army, police, bureaucracy, clergy, and judicature - organs wrought after the plan of a systematic and hierarchic division of labor - originates from the days of absolute monarchy, serving nascent middle class society as a mighty weapon in its struggle against feudalism. Still, its development remained clogged by all manner of medieval rubbish, seignorial rights, local privileges, municipal and guild monopolies, and provincial constitutions. The gigantic broom of the French Revolution of the 18th century swept away all these relics of bygone times, thus clearing simultaneously the social soil of its last hinderances to the superstructure of the modern state edifice raised under the First Empire, itself the offspring of the coalition wars of old semi-feudal Europe against modern France.”

[@StarxLolita]

If he was the president it wouldn't have been different because the entire structure of the US is built on racism, fascism, and imperialism. The Black Panthers knew that. That's why they were revolutionaries. Fred Hampton knew that. What's why he was a socialist. And that's why the US killed him.
