Micah Jonson is
really a symbolic people’s hero, a result of indignation and anger,
who, through his own life, as a soldier of the US imperialist troops
in Afghanistan, realizes that it is within the US society the only
just war we must fight, the one against a system that claims to be
the largest democracy in the world, bearer of goods and equal
opportunities, as well as against an African-American president who
has the same face of the pigs that kill at the pace of serial
killers, with impunity, combining class violence and racist violence.
This is the America
that is laid bare, and the action of Micah shows that the time of
impunity for this America may be discontinued, the time of a police
force strong against the weak while being in a thousand ways linked
to the organized crime, the holder of the economic, political,
financial power.
The symbolic action
of Micah has finally broken a pattern and said to the masses, which a
thousand times have rebelled against the police crimes, that another
path is possible, a path that has already written exemplary pages of
glory, struggle and organization, with the bright history of the
Black Panther Party.
The Corriere
della Sera writes: "The
danger is that someone turns the sniper of Dallas into an avenger
angel who embodies a wild vision of people’s justice."
This way, the true snipers are not the authorized serial killers of
the police, it is not the fierce, barbaric killing of Philando
Castile, worthy of one of the worst American movies, but the clear,
straightforward, brave action of Micah to be put on trial.
As soon as a man of
the masses takes up arms, the pompous, arrogant killers in uniform
show all their miserable cowardice and for the first time use a robot
bomb, because, as they themselves said, they were afraid that Micah
could kill them.
Now the whole world
bourgeoisie, not only the US bourgeoisie, screams for vengeance and
glorifies the murderer pigs, hide the fear that in the African
American communities there are "violent
splinters, small units of urban guerrillas, capable to plan military
ambushes, handling weapons". Now
the pigs in uniform scream, showing to be a state within the state –
see the statement of David Brawn, chief of the Dallas police, who
said "the time has come to put an end to this division between
our police and our citizens", the only admission that their
police is something opposed to the masses.
Another sold writer
on the CdS notes that on the Web "there
are posts that define this murderer as a freedom fighter ... the risk
is that Micah first becomes an icon, then a role model. There are too
many urban areas in US which are of social powder keg."
Symbolically, Micah
acted as a soldier who has acquired the combat techniques in the
unjust wars of imperialism and has put them in place in the only just
and necessary war in US.
Obama, with his
statements, shows that the skin color or the African-American origin
does not matter, but the what class is represented and what interests
are served. At the same time, the problem is not that too many
weapons are around, but the fascism, racism, imperialist supremacism
that arms the hand of its representatives, in uniform or civilian.
Obama, US
imperialist bourgeoisie and all their apologists cry scandal and
horror when the people take up arms, as already pointed out by the
Black Panther Party.
Obama and Trump are
two sides of the same medal – Hillary Clinton is just a drab figure
– their words are the same in substance: the exaltation of the
strength that "ensures the safety of all citizens"; "We
must restore law and order", etc.
Honor and glory for
the murderer pigs, for once they fell on the asphalt, at most
condolences for the poor blacks murdered.
But times are
changing and Micah symbol is the future. The rest is the rotten old
world of imperialism, capable only of crimes and horrors, which tries
to continue to rule, as if the day of reckoning will never come.
That the
imperialists and their press to do their dirty work there is
certainly no wonder. Once again the hypocritical voices raised by
commentators from "left" that must be exposed and
denounced, because they are always an expression of the two feet in
both camps, the blow to the rim and the barrel, the party of
conciliation, even when there is nothing to reconcile.
Alessandro Portelli
on the Il Manifesto writes:
"I do not think we could be happy with what is going on in
Dallas at this time. First, because there are dead and this can never
be a source of joy ". They tell the story that all dead are all
equal, that oppressed and oppressors, from a human point of view, are
equal, and they only remember when the oppressors die at the hands of
the oppressed. "Secondly –
Portelli continues - because the level
of armed struggle the winners will inevitably be others, hardly we
will win and there will be more deaths."
It is not true, it was never true. The oppressed have obtained their
results only when they had weapons in hand, imperialism has lost only
when the peoples fought with arms in hand - Vietnam and many other
glorious stories have shown this. So, African Americans have achieved
true conquests, always questioned, only when they as struggling
masses relied on Malcolm X, the Black Panther Party. It is just when
the armed struggle failed that the US imperialist State won.
But, in order to
support his thesis Portelli has to say hateful falseness from the
columns of Il Manifesto:
"the liberation movement of African
Americans has won its victories with other means."
As if the chain of unpunished murders, the state violence did not
demonstrate exactly the opposite, that when the masses could not rely
on the armed radicalism of their movement, or directly within the US
or indirectly, with the anti-imperialist liberation movements in
world, they lost.
Portelli writes:
"African Americans have used the
ballot, have elected Barak Obama ... the bullets continued to fly, as
they have for centuries of slavery, lynchings, segregation, racism
...". Exactly. Is this be the only
world possible?
When a gesture, an
action shows that this spiral can be stopped, Porrtelli can not find
any way out but belittling "the
minority and desperate explosion is the mirror of the disappointment
and impotent rage of the majority of a democracy that has failed in
its task".
But has not this
always been the logic of revolutions? Are not they the symptoms that
demand and evoke the historical necessity of the rebirth of a Black
Panther Party, armed with the science of revolution and representing
the proletarians and oppressed no matter their origin, skin color,
and connected to the struggle of all the oppressed in the world
fighting US imperialism, along the way of a genuine revolutionary war
that can really put an end to the horror without end that US society
gave birth?
Guido Moltedo also,
always on Il Manifesto,
has as concern the armed struggle and not state violence. What he
fears is "the beginning of a stage
in which a organized forms and armed struggle will try to impose
their logic on what has so far been a peaceful protest against racism
... Black Lives Matter could be marginalized by organized groups
armed. " Moltedo also describes
how, with the the presidential elections, what is really advancing in
America is a fascist wave that Trump embodies and the police
murderers play. It is clear that the answer to this wave can not be
the fig leaf of Hillary Clinton, even if she becomes president, and
that the community of poor African-Americans, a all the workers and
the poor in this country, can not accept to be crushed and that a
tank passes over their bodies, can not accept to be killed, having as
only weapon a generous protest.
Therefore, the
dynamics of the opposition movement to needs to gain strength and
build on their strengths, out of the false democracy that is invoked
here.
