Dear PRLF,
Hello there please recieve my warmest red greatings. Hope all is well with you all. I write this letter to speak my mind on a couple things.
First I would like to congradulate the BAsics Bus Tour Volunteers for the inspiration that they gave to the people and communitys in wich they visited and let communism be known. I feel as if that has the real potential to grow and give life to something entirely of its own. It gives me great hope as a prisoner but mostly as a young communist to see the truth been told to the people. It seems by reading the little tid-bit RCP Newsletter [Revolution newspaper, eds.] prints that there is a real gravitational pull to learn more and get into the communist ideology. Like people hear about communist and right away they think dictator, Stalin, genocide, murder and terrible other things. I'm currently reading a book called "Inventing reality—the politics of the mass media" by Michael Parenti and for goodness sakes, at this time in age with so much knowledge literally at the tips of your fingers thinks that what "they", the "capitalist" say is true about the communist...then you really are a big dummie. Truly the book is good not done with it but its a recomended read from me. But like I was saying the truth is the truth and as a communist we should be saying nothing but the truth and once the people hear the truth, they wont react to it right away, thanks to the dominit capitalist state of mind but as I wanna say reality sets in on people they'll go "oh, shit, this is been going on this whole time?"... And with the world coming to a sharper divide, it is more now then ever to have the masses realize the side they must not only join and be with but know it is the only side for to be with. The capitalist is to choose war/destruction over community/harmony. This is not to say that there wont be a complete wipe out of violence in an communist society but I'll say and "presume" that it'll be lower than 30%.
The other thing I want to comment on is BA's interview "What Humanity Needs." I have read it and must say it was lively, joyful and full of golden nuggets wich are not Mc-donalds but of the kind wich the ingridients are knowledge. With so much golden nuggets I don't know where to begin. So I'll say what stood out to me the most and that was the part when BA speaks of Communism as a science and goes on to speak on synthesism and knowing that whole panorama of theory and learning from reality. He also goes on to show the connection of social science with other sciences & how when they come to the truth, formulas and such. I may not be saying this right in wich case my apologies are due.
Much is to be learned from this interview and although I don't agree with everything that's what we must struggle with each other. I will not offer my criticism at this time, for Im still learning my self. With all this said I'll bid my outro and from the inter most death of the beast, I continue to struggle for the people.
Sincerely,
XXXX, Prisoner in California
