[00:00.00]"IMMORTAL TECHNIQUE"
[00:01.60]Most of my Latino and black people who are struggling to get food,
[00:05.96]clothes and shelter in the hood are so concerned with that,
[00:08.86]that philosophising about freedom and socialist democracy is usually unfortunately beyond their rationale.
[00:15.22]They don't realize that America can't exist without separating them from their identity,
[00:19.78]because if we had some sense of who we really are,
[00:22.39]there's no way in hell we'd allow this country to push it's genocidal consensus on our homelands.
[00:27.36]This ignorance exists, but it can be destroyed.
[00:30.41]******* talk about change and working within the system to achieve that.
[00:35.58]The problem with always being a conformist is that when you try to change the system from within,
[00:40.80]it's not you who changes the system; it's the system that will eventually change you.
[00:45.46]There is usually nothing wrong with compromise in a situation,
[00:48.83]but compromising yourself in a situation is another story completely,
[00:52.95]and I have seen this happen long enough in the few years that I've been alive to know that it's a serious problem.
[00:58.90]Latino America is a huge colony of countries whose presidents are cowards in the face of economic imperialism.
[01:05.63]You see, third world countries are rich places, abundant in resources,
[01:09.30]and many of these countries have the capacity to feed their starving people
[01:14.00]and the children we always see digging for food in trash on commercials. But plutocracies,
[01:19.12]in other words a government run by the rich such as this one and traditionally oppressive European states,
[01:24.44]force the third world into buying overpriced, unnecessary goods while exporting huge portions of their natural resources.
[01:32.47]I'm quite sure that people will look upon my attitude and sentiments and look for hypocrisy and hatred in my words.
[01:39.84]My revolution is born out of love for my people, not hatred for others.
[01:44.65]You see, most of Latinos are here because of the great inflation
[01:49.61]that was caused by American companies in Latin America.
[01:52.12]Aside from that, many are seeking a life away from the puppet democracies
[01:55.93]that were funded by the United States; places like El Salvador,
[01:59.60]Guatemala, Peru, Columbia, Nicaragua, Ecuador and Republica Dominicana,
[02:04.92]and not just Spanish-speaking countries either, but Haiti and Jamaica as well.
[02:09.57]As different as we have been taught to look at each other by colonial society,
[02:13.91]we are in the same struggle and until we realize that,
[02:16.82]we'll be fighting for scraps from the table of a system that has kept us subservient instead of being self-determined.
[02:23.33]And that's why we have no control over when the embargo will stop in Cuba, or when the bombs will stop dropping in Vieques.
[02:29.43]But you see, here in America the attitude that is fed to us is that outside of America there live lesser people.
[02:36.36]"******* them, let them fend for themselves."
[02:39.02]No, ******* you, they are you. No matter how much you want to dye your hair blonde and put fake eyes in,
[02:45.63]or follow an anorexic standard of beauty,
[02:48.03]or no matter how many diamonds you buy from people who exploit your own brutally to get them,
[02:52.01]no matter what kind of car you drive or what kind of fancy clothes you put on, you will never be them.
[02:58.28]They're always gonna look at you as nothing but a little monkey.
[03:02.21]I'd rather be proud of what I am, rather than desperately trying to be something I'm really not, just to fit in.
[03:07.77]And whether we want to accept it or not, that's what this culture or lack of culture is feeding us.
[03:12.96]I want a better life for my family and for my children,
[03:17.44]but it doesn't have to be at the expense of millions of lives in my homeland.
[03:20.61]We're given the idea that if we didn't have these people to exploit then
[03:24.57]America wouldn't be rich enough to let us have these little petty material things in
[03:27.44]our lives and basic standards of living. No, that's wrong.
[03:32.01]It's the business giants and the government officials who make all the real money.
[03:36.31]We have whatever they kick down to us. My enemy is not the average white man,
[03:41.03]it's not the kid down the block or the kids I see on the street;
[03:43.90]my enemy is the white man I don't see: the people in the white house, the corporate monopoly owners,
[03:48.91]fake liberal politicians those are my enemies. The generals of the armies
[03:53.33]that are mostly conservatives those are the real Mother-******s that I need to bring it to, not the poor,
[03:59.47]broke country-ass soldier that's too stupid to know *******t about the way things are set upIn fact,
[04:04.92]I have more in common with most working and middle-class white people than I do with most rich black and Latino people.
[04:13.10]As much as racism bleeds America, we need to understand that classism is the real issue.
[04:18.46]Many of us are in the same boat and it's sinking,
[04:21.56]while these bougie Mother-******s ride on a luxury liner,
[04:24.33]and as long as we keep fighting over kicking people out of the little boat we're all in,
[04:28.58]we're gonna miss an opportunity to gain a better standard of living as a whole.
[04:32.29]In other words, I don't want to escape the plantation I want to come back,
[04:36.85]free all my people, hang the Mother-****** that kept me there and burn the house to the god damn ground.
[04:42.87]I want to take over the encomienda and give it back to the people who work the land.
[04:47.22]You cannot change the past but you can make the future,
[04:51.30]and anyone who tells you different is a ******* lethargic devil.
[04:55.30]I don't look at a few token Latinos and black people in the public eye as some type of achievement for my people as a whole.
[05:02.12]Most of those successful individuals are sell-outs and house Negros.
[05:06.44]But, I don't consider brothers a sell-out if they move out of the ghetto.
[05:10.44]Poverty has nothing to do with our people. It's not in our culture to be poor.
[05:14.56]That's only been the last 500 years of our history;
[05:17.52]look at the last 2000 years of our existence and what we brought to the world in terms of science,
[05:22.67]mathematics, agriculture and forms of government.
[05:26.03]You know the idea of a confederation of provinces where one federal government controls the states?
[05:30.85]The Europeans who came to this country stole that idea from the Iroquois lead.
[05:35.11]The idea of impeaching a ruler comes from an Aztec tradition.
[05:38.97]That's why Montezuma was stoned to death by his own people
[05:42.13] 'cause he represented the agenda of white Spaniards once he was captured, not the Aztec people who would become Mexicans.
[05:48.45]So in conclusion, I'm not gonna vote for anybody just 'cause they
[05:53.62]black or Latino they have to truly represent the community and represent what's good for all of us proletariat.
[05:58.62]Porque sino entonces te mando por el carajo cabron gusano hijo de puta,
[06:05.24]seramos libre pronto, viva la revolucion, viva la revolucion!
