ANATOMY OF OPPRESSION – PART II
The flag is down, now what?  America loves to talk about democracy but hates people elected democratically or who successfully fight for a true democratic electoral process.  The current incarceration of Rev. Pinkney illustrates this fact. We supposedly have the inalienable right of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, but Black and Brown people live now and have always lived under and around arbitrary authority that is white authority. Control of education is an integral part of democratic organization - a very natural and obvious structure. Community Control of police is against the organization of government control from the top down.

The process of democracy in the work place is a cure for capitalism. Community Control is a cure for a lack of democracy in the workplace AND POLICE BRUTALITY. Therefore, community control is a cure for capitalism. The purpose of this episode is to attack metaphysical imperialism by attacking ‘phony issues’ that deflect us from the true solutions to the problems of oppression. The reality is Black people are still being killed by ‘KILLER COPS‘ every 26 to 28 hours, and MASSACRES STILL HAPPEN. - Ralph Poynter
