"One guide to practice is that
internalizing and elaborating the slogan "Black is Beautiful"
will help individual people, Black and white, to free themselves.
Along with "Black is Beautiful" my generation might seek to
bring back the baby, but not the bath water of the rest of the
New Left counter-cultural movement. The Beatles were not
socialists, but they were progressively subversive of
capitalist culture. (Hear, e.g., Give Peace a Chance).
In our rap to win the hearts and minds of our People, let's
make our philosophy and music the celebrity not some great leader
It is winter in socialism now; but spring will come again.
May Day is on the way. In this period dominated
by the need for correcting mistakes, we should not miss the
chances to develop harbingers of the road, computer path
and song to communism bypassing socialism. Some of
these channels are made clearer by the experience of the first decades
of socialism. Truly, the dominant part of a
paradox of our practice now is taking a step back to
relearn some of the direct lessons of capitalism - a step
back to take a step forward later. But the underlying line of
march of history toward communism, the general advance,
continues, despite certain specific advances coming to deadends. "
