There are over 30 prisons in  Alsbam, but only theee of them are maximum securiy facilities. They  are St. Clair, Holman, and Donaldson.

They came alking aboue nothing but riding on the police. Keep in mind this s all happening during a ime when the entire nation is demonserating against police killings of unarmed individuals. There was so much alk sbout werting the police that the adminisuration just surted September 9ch,we decided nor to lock down.

Though suategieally worded, I could’e disageee more. This wording in that asticle only put water on a spark before it can into a full blaze. In other words, destroys potential unity before & more conscious prisoner can establish groundwvork. As an anarchise or anti-auhoritarian, obviously our principles are against reform, bue: 1) we don’e make a blucprine for evry person n the world to be obligated to follow: 2) I’m not quite sure that any form of suruggle in which demands are given should be clasified as reformist in & prison settng. In society, maybe so, but in prison? Absolutely not, because if we’re being reals, chen despiee the beautiful wordplay you exhibited, the dismanling of the prison induseral comples will ‘only take place with the destruction of the entire ruling class/state Obviously: the biggese conesibution to that will have to come from comsistent, long-term, complete anarchy from the outside. Be not mistaken, 1 salute A12M to the fulese and if there, | would’ve been side by side with those comeades. But no resistance that only coming from the inside will ultimately deal a deah blow to slave kamps. ‘What you’re suggesting isn’e practical Moreso, militan revolts rarely happen in prison. Ies hard to organize resistance in mose prisons in Amerika, period. Throughout history, eas to wes, society to prison, miliants have always been the minority. The peaceful are always the majoriy. The point I’m making is i the majority in prison has found a common ground to struggle on, with 2 common tactic thae the majority is willing to participate in, why speak against ie? Those of more consciousnes, who are more dedicated, and understand the value of sacrifice can engage in different tactics you are refering o, but which will be n co-existence with the masses demands. What you aall “reformist” is 2 foundation for unty, cooperation, and political consciousness building, which can spring into 2 culeure of resstance, ‘which will build dedication for action upon relase to help achicve our ultimate goal.  Next issue: you state demands is “recognizing the right of the oppressor to exercise power” Demands i recognizing the right of the state o exercise power, but a actical approach as i also practiced by the oppressor. When they say you have freedom of speech, or fieedom of protest, do you chink they acknowledge us as having power juse because they’re allowing us to oppose them within the lines o thei law ?Study what deception is. We’ee not recognizing the “right” of their power; quite the conrary, we’re taking seps in building a force necessary to diminish their power. As one who myself has militane views, 1 understand your perspective and fecl you’e valusble to the movement and dedicated. But what you muse understand i, if you want the endgame o be victory, in order to gee the majority on our side, tacties muse be diverse, and,asde from whae puts the movement in danger, allresistance is welcome - with the pen o the sword, with a sign or a gun. Thiskeave oom for everybody to be againstthe oppressor n some way, violendly or non-violently, everyone can contribute. We must be careful with oue words,with ou practices, and not become tools helping the oppressors divide the oppressed.  Moreso, a concep that need to b grasped: “there’s no are  blueprine for seruggle” In and out of prison, every oppresed person sn’e an anarchist, s0 we can’ expect every form of resistance to be i line with anarchism. By practicing such behaviorisms, we become like our oppressors — our way or no way: The only ones we can hold accountable for practices that goes againse anarchism are a As a New Afikan, [ spoke out againse MLK principles and those who followed them, as 1 idenify with Malcolm, I wan revolution and ot reform. I donfe wane master to take his foo off my neck « litle, T wan master entiee body in the dire. But what [ had to ralize s, Brother Marcin was seruggling the best way he knew how and chough his tactcs and goals were different from Brother Malcolm, he was doing what he was doing to deliver our people from sufering “Think abou thar. Critcize the selfproclaimed revolutionary for not being revolutionary, but not the typical oppresed person for acting against their oppression the best way they know how: Revolution is what destroys systems. Like it or nor, prisoners alone won’ destroy a system. All we can do is deliver war and demand to be ested like humans, even ifyou do call e “reformise”  schists.  ‘Comrade Andy Homer article was a good picce considering he haven’ebeen doing his for long, But one thingthat all of usalready Known to our enemies need 1o really emphasiz, as it is a erucial mistake we’ve made and continue to make ~ “making oursclves known” IF you’re going o engage in militancy, seraegically you should never allow the infrastructure to know you oppose them. I you’e militane, bu feel you have valusble theories, disguise your theories, not tactics, under the intellecruals o comrades who arent gecting cheir hands dirty. Those who only produce “theory” bue not practice,they’re necessary t the movement as well, as survillance/ constane moitoring won’e hure them, because they’re staying within the sule of the stat,the law: Those who plan to go against what’s civl and seep outside the law, really engaging in the kind of esistance that il take to destroy an esablishmen: remain unknown. Keep who you are hidden. Though t0o ate for most of us, the new comeades Who are coming into the movemen is a very crucial mistake o make yourself known to an enemy you done know. Currene CIA, Mossad, M16, FBI, Special Ops, etc.don’t make themselves known. Why? Think about i, If oure in the eye of the scope, are you going costay seilland wait for the marksmen to snipe you? Though we speak. against the state miliary, police o prison guards aren’ the one who’s going to climinate (assasinate) you onee you really pose a threae to power and no juse committing arson. I¢1l be agents and forces who. you can’e identify who’s going to booby trap your car,or poison you causing a heare arcack (natural death), exc. Sudying anarchism gives us something to dialogue about, gives us 2 vision, but studying the enemy is how you defeat the enemy. I read a ot of books and arcicles by comades, and one thing thae sticks out the most i that comeades don’t understand the enemy, truly aren’e considering enemy tactics, Above all allowing your hate for the enemy to cloud your judgment causing you to underestimate che enemy. [’m notsaying our opposicion isinvincible, Pm saying unless we change our curtent conduct,current actics, conceal new tactcs,conceal the identity of the new comeades and generations thatll follow, we’ll never win.  Before I end, salute to comrade Conner asticle. Our vision il make a very interesing dialogue and seruggle  Uneil we win, we fight on! Love and solidariy.  Seif resisance, Anascho-Faheem

You will ask why do we sing...
We sing because shauting is not enaugh
nor is sorrow or anger.

We sing because we believe in peap[e

and we will overcome defeat.

We sing because the sun recognizes us
and because the fields smell like spring
and because in this stem, in that fiuit

every question has its answer.
We sing because it rains on the fitrmw
and we are militants Df[ife

and because we cannot and will not

let songs become ashes.

basically admitting the oppressor’s rule over us by trying to bargain
with them through the form of hunger srike o work stoppage.

It made me think long and hard for a more effctive way to
put both hunger seiking and work stoppage to use, in which ic il
toually devastate the whole prison industrial complex system. The
fiest concepe | came upon was that of the *Industrial Workers of the
World? of havingall prisoners heoughout the US go on hunger srike
and work stoppage all at the same time. Then demand minimum

aricle. Though suategieally worded, I could'e disageee more. This
wording in that asticle only put water on a spark before it can
into a full blaze. In other words, destroys potential unity before &
more conscious prisoner can establish groundwvork. As an anarchise
or anti-auhoritarian, obviously our principles are against reform,
bue: 1) we don'e make a blucprine for evry person n the world to be
obligated to follow: 2) I'm not quite sure that any form of suruggle
in which demands are given should be clasified as reformist in &
prison settng. In society, maybe so, but in prison? Absolutely not,
because if we're being reals, chen despiee the beautiful wordplay
you exhibited, the dismanling of the prison induseral comples will
‘only take place with the destruction of the entire ruling class/state
Obviously: the biggese conesibution to that will have to come from
comsistent, long-term, complete anarchy from the outside. Be not
mistaken, 1 salute A12M to the fulese and if there, | would've been
side by side with those comeades. But no resistance that only coming
from the inside will ultimately deal a deah blow to slave kamps.
‘What you're suggesting isn'e practical Moreso, militan revolts rarely
happen in prison. Ies hard to organize resistance in mose prisons in
Amerika, period. Throughout history, eas to wes, society to prison,
miliants have always been the minority. The peaceful are always
the majoriy. The point I'm making is i the majority in prison has
found a common ground to struggle on, with 2 common tactic thae
the majority is willing to participate in, why speak against ie? Those
of more consciousnes, who are more dedicated, and understand the
value of sacrifice can engage in different tactics you are refering o,
but which will be n co-existence with the masses demands. What you
aall “reformist” is 2 foundation for unty, cooperation, and political
consciousness building, which can spring into 2 culeure of resstance,
‘which will build dedication for action upon relase to help achicve our
ultimate goal.

Next issue: you state demands is “recognizing the right
of the oppressor to exercise power” Demands i recognizing the
right of the state o exercise power, but a actical approach as i also
practiced by the oppressor. When they say you have freedom of
speech, or fieedom of protest, do you chink they acknowledge us as
having power juse because they're allowing us to oppose them within
the lines o thei law ?Study what deception is. We'ee not recognizing
the “right” of their power; quite the conrary, we're taking seps
in building a force necessary to diminish their power. As one who
myself has militane views, 1 understand your perspective and fecl
you'e valusble to the movement and dedicated. But what you muse
understand i, if you want the endgame o be victory, in order to gee
the majority on our side, tacties muse be diverse, and,asde from whae
puts the movement in danger, allresistance is welcome - with the pen
o the sword, with a sign or a gun. Thiskeave oom for everybody to be
againstthe oppressor n some way, violendly or non-violently, everyone
can contribute. We must be careful with oue words,with ou practices,
