“Los Angeles: settantadue sobborghi in cerca di una città.”
When you talk about revolution, most people think violence, without realizing that the real content of any kind of revolutionary thrust lies in the principles and the goals that you're striving for, not in the way you reach them.
On the other hand, because of the way this society is organized, because of the violence that exists on the surface everywhere, you have to expect that there are going to be such explosions. You have to expect things like that as reactions... if you are a black person and live in the black community all your life and walk out on the street everyday seeing white policemen surrounding you... when I was living in Los Angeles, for instance (long before the situation in L.A. ever occurred) I was constantly stopped. No, the police didn't know who I was. But I was a black women and I had a natural and they, I suppose thought I might be "militant."

Why did we take the countryside as the base and why did we not take the cities as the support base?
The cities could not be the base. True, the population there is large, but the city is small, the enemy is all over it. The Assembly, the courts, the prisons, the police, the Army - they were all there. The networks of the enemy's repressive apparatus were concentrated there, and the social composition of the town is very complex.
By contrast, the countryside is vast. The enemy is spread thin there. In some villages, there is not even the shadow of the enemy, militarily or otherwise. In some communities, there are only one or two soldiers or police. This means the enemy forces in the countryside are weak. The peasants there are very numerous. The class composition is good.
