We at The Crusader think the revolutionary movement within the United States desperately needs a paper like ours. Why do we say this? When we analyze the situation nationally we can see that revolutionaries are spread out far and wide and have yet to concentrate concretely in many areas in which the masses call out for organization. We can also see that the movement currently needs to develop a stronger basis of support amongst members of oppressed nations, particularly ours. This paper serves to combat the dispersal of forces among revolutionaries and to mainly recruit and propagate the revolutionary ideology of the working class to the Black nation with a focus on Black workers. We seek to refine our practice by learning from the mistakes of past projects relating to the recruitment of Black people to the revolutionary movement. By learning and applying past lessons we can create a much sharper weapon in service of the revolutionary movement and the Black nation as a whole.

“You’re living at a time of extremism, a time of revolution. A time where there’s got to be a change. People in power have misused it. And now there has to be a change and a better world has to be built. And the only way is going to be built is with extreme methods. And I for one will join with anyone, don’t care what color you are. As long as you want change this miserable condition that exists on this earth.”
