The working and oppressed class cannot come to power to change the political-economy inherent to the nature of capitalism without overthrowing it and growing socialism from the ground up. After the armed seizure of power, we must continue the revolution in every sphere of society to uproot the material and ideological roots of the predatory system so thoroughly embedded in us via state, school, religion and culture. The future is in our hands, in the hands of the peoples worldwide, and every step of the way we must proceed from the perspective of, and toward the goal of, internationalist unity against our common imperialist-zionist enemies.
