party leader vote
I'm not ruling. I never ruled. I have one vote and I'm the leader of the party. I've always had a vote on the central committee. I always had more influence than that one vote. I'll admit that.
hands revolution rebellion
The revolution has always been in the hands of the young. The young always inherit the revolution.
party gun years
I had a lot of time and the first year I was in prison, I tried to get the party to stop the shooting, to stop the talk about the gun thing.
antiques united-states states
The United States is already antique.
dog wrath people
The racist dog policemen must withdraw immediately from our communities, cease their wanton murder and brutality and torture of black people, or face the wrath of the armed people.
cities suffering cuba
Cuba was neo-colony of the United States and still suffers a blockade. So, therefore, the consumer goods and so forth, we don't have here, especially when you leave the city areas it's a spartan life. But what is impressive about it is what is coming about. It's the future that all these socialists look forward to.
hate thinking real-love
I think what motivates people is not great hate, but great love for other people.
cleaver committees mesmerized
We always had a central committee. They were mesmerized by Eldridge Cleaver.
struggle unique thinking
I am very happy here [on Cuba], but I feel I have work to do in the United States. It's where I can identify with the total world struggle for socialism. But I think as a North American, as a Black North American, I have certain understandings - certain contributions - to make that are unique to the North Amerian experience.
cuba neighbor
The neighbors were more than neighbors [on Cuba]. They were like part of the family.
party new-experiences order
When I founded the party in 1966, I had just turned 24.And each year, no, not each year, each day I live I've gained new experiences. Now the criticism is not to say the party did not play a positive part in those times, but, in order to be objective, we did not accomplish the things we set out to accomplish.
party cuba information
Just before I left [Cuba], I was about to transfer to the university. I had decided I had had enough experience in work in the manual areas. But then I got word from the United States that I could return...that my party had gathered enough information about the false charges that were against me for me to return to the United States.
panthers wipe come-up
The nature of a panther is that he never attacks. But if anyone attacks or backs into a corner, the panther comes up to wipe that aggressor or that attacker out.
wall gun ideas
The walls, the bars, the guns and the guards can never encircle or hold down the idea of the people.
