RE: PURCHASE OF MATERIALS
Dear R.C.P.;
Greetings within and beyond, "Amandla!"
I hope this finds you Comrades, in the best of all things possible, especially health and spirit—revolutionary spirit!
I am still confined within this hell hole concentration camp but my heart, spirit, desire for the revolution never wanes nor faulters. This Texas Slave camp is supposedly for the ‘sick’, ‘blind’, ‘deaf’, and ‘dying’, and is a "Medical Unit". Although, there are many who are here that do not fit in any of those categories, all of them need a dose of "Revolution." I am attempting to do just that, give them all—"guards", and "[ALL]" a dose of Real !!! revolution. I’m currently on a mission of buying copies of BAsics and distributing them to individuals here on the unit. This will be a slow proces, but I will buy a copy of BAsics, each month.
I am also sending ‘You’ my monthly contribution of $10.00 for the "Bus Tour", BAsics. I have been sending $10.00 for approximately 3-4 months, saying to place it for the BAsics Bus Tour in Texas. Well, I change that!! It should be for the BAsics Bus Tour—Period! See, I’ve come to realize my small minded thinking was only looking at the State of Texas and thinking "We" (IN TEXAS) need a revolution. But, the more I got into the "New" synthesis of COMMUNISM, and INTERNATIONALISM..., I come to realize my thinking was wrong. This is not just about "My" home state or whatever locality I may reside in, this is about the State of the "World", and this "Nation", ... about truly building the "New Socialist Republic", of North America.
Everybody in this Country needs to read BAsics and hear Bob Avakian and come to know who he is, what he has brought forward and the advancements of the science of "Communism" has made. So, lets all take a radical step into the future by advancing our own knowledge and thinking through our actions of supporting and carrying forward B.A.’s BAsics and the new synthesis of [R]evolutionary Communism.
So, included in this letter is $20.00 dollars.
$10.00 for the book BAsics and
$10.00 for the Bus Tour; BAsics.
I can’t wait to see the bus tour come to each City in Texas—True!! but, it also needs our support for other States, like New York and all other areas.
So UNTIL the time is ripe, I stand in "Solidarity My comrades"!!...
Send BAsics to ________________
