[Ed. note: These are excerpts from a much longer letter by a prisoner in response to an editorial in the last issue ofTTT. We tried to do justice to the author 's intent. We will post the full text in the Break the Lock page at http://tideturning.org, along with other prisoner correspondence. A response follows.]
So I was sitting on my bunk, rocking out to some music studying 'The State And Revolution' by Lenin, when I'm somewhat surprised at mail call by the latest issue of TTT. Now, I have to say that we been enjoying your paper for some years now, it's one of the few sources of revolutionary minded literature I receive. Anyway, I agree with some of the stuff your paper talks about, in particular the formation and work of the New Black Panther Party, while disagreeing with some of the stuff the New BPP & TTT talks about, such as the concept of inter-communalism. [Ed.: This refers to Black Riders Liberation Party, not New Black Panther Party]
A couple months ago I wrote your org. a letter in the spirit of Unity-Criticism-Unity with regards to your mislabeling definition of fascism. I listed my disagreement with it and referred you to some MIM literature. I've been wondering what your org. thought about that? Most likely you disagreed, but in what way exactly? While I did initially wonder these things, not anymore, and my point here is to come to the defense of MIM & MIM (P); in hope something useful to the revolutionary movement will come about. My aim is for us to further build ideological unity on matters of revolutionary-science.
Anyway, my issue is this; Mr. Novick in his attempt to illuminate the prisyn masses with regards to the differences between TTT's line and that of the MIM camp currently represented by MIM (P), United Struggle from Within (a MIM (P) led anti-imperialist mass org. for prisyners) R.A.I.M. and the Leading Light Community Organization. . . .well, I'll just give you a review of the entire article. To begin, I hold MIM (P) in high regard not just because they hold the correct political line on everything politically meaningful under the sun, but because I owe my political development to them.
