Zitat des Tages von Fred Hampton:
Let me just say: Peace to you, if you're willing to fight for it.
People have to be armed to have power, you see.
Black people need some peace. White people need some peace. And we are going to have to fight. We're going to have to struggle. We're going to have to struggle relentlessly to bring about some peace, because the people that we're asking for peace, they are a bunch of megalomaniac warmongers, and they don't even understand what peace means.
I believe I'm going to die doing the things I was born to do. I believe I'm going to die high off the people. I believe I'm going to die a revolutionary in the international revolutionary proletarian struggle.
You have to understand that people have to pay a price for peace. If you dare to struggle, you dare to win.
I have a lot of respect for Martin Luther King. I think he was one of the greatest orators that the country ever produced.
We might not be back. I might be in jail. I might be anywhere. But when I leave, you'll remember I said, with the last words on my lips, that I am a revolutionary. And you're going to have to keep on saying that. You're going to have to say that I am a proletariat; I am the people.
You can kill a revolutionary but you can never kill the revolution.
If you ever think about me, and you ain't gonna do no revolutionary act, forget about me. I don't want myself on your mind if you're not going to work for the people.
We say that we will work with anybody and form a coalition with anybody that has revolution on their mind.
We're going to fight racism not with racism, but we're going to fight with solidarity. We say we're not going to fight capitalism with black capitalism, but we're going to fight it with socialism.
You can't build a revolution with no education. Jomo Kenyatta did this in Africa, and because the people were not educated, he became as much an oppressor as the people he overthrew.
With no education, you have neocolonialism instead of colonialism, like you've got in Africa now and like you've got in Haiti. So what we're talking about is there has to be an educational program. That's very important.
You can jail a revolutionary, but you can't jail the revolution.
I'm not afraid to say I'm at war with the pigs.
