Cop watching in 1967 by armed black folks, WOW, infinite moxie.. Today much easier due-in-part to the video camera however petty tyrants at times feel they are invisible, or may be they are simply really stupid.

Check out first amendment audit on youtube.. There you shall find many government tyrants possessing room temperature IQ's..

Very informative and the comedy is priceless...

And please don't call SPLC left-wing. There is NOTHING left-wing about disarming people. I'm pretty sure what you mean is neoliberal, which is an ideology of the corporatist, globalist center-right.

SPCL - Southern Preposterous Lie Center.

And why don't reasonable people simply drop the whole left/right thing? There are a lot of potential labels for these people, of course, but there are only two "sides." Those who want to control, disarm, use, rob from and feel free to murder. Then there are all those who do not want to do those things.

The "left" and "right" are two wings on the same bird of prey.

Surely RadBanker, you are not referring to Huey Newton & Bobby Seales' Black Panthers for Self Defense, an African American revolutionary group, founded to protect black neighborhood's citizens as a communist entity?

Do you happen to have any objective evidence to substantiate this gross generalization since my funk and wagall's state communist is a philosophical concept where there is a totalitarian form of government run by an singular authoritarian controlling everything?

I do not remember Huey or Bobby advocating sedition, except to P.O. JEHoover who worked tirelessly, to discredit the founders, members, and the group as a whole. perhaps you are remembering those biased headlines?

They were specifically a Maoist Communist party, and raised the majority of the funds they used to arm the party by selling Mao's little red book. They were flawed in many, many ways, but make no mistake that they were communist revolutionaries that took the majority of their inspiration from Mao's "Mass Line" organizing strategy.

Authoritarian does not belong in any reasonable definition of communism, though it has been a feature of many state capitalist entities that were led by parties that called themselves communists.

The only universal definition of communism is: a stateless, classless society.
The majority of communist theory assumes that there will be a long difficult process to reach this. If you unite with this, the term "communist" when referring to a person or group should likely assume that they are sincerely aiming for a stateless, classless society.
The prevailing strategy in history so far has been to use a strong, centralized "socialist" state in order to build the material conditions needed to achieve communism.
When we arm ourselves with both theory and knowledge of history, we can look back and see that while they may have been led by "communist" parties, and they may have called their States "socialist," the strong central State has proven time and again to be an utter;y and completely failed strategy for achieving either socialism, or communism.
I disagree completely with this strategy, and instead advocate for a massive decentralization. We must build the horizontal decentralized institutions that will obsolete and replace the centralized, vertical institutions of today. This is usually called "libertarian socialism" or "anarchism."



Cheat sheet:
If there is a State, it isn't communist.
If the workers don't directly control the means of production, it isn't socialist.

More commentary on the Southern Well-endowed Hate Center

Title:What It’s Like to Be Smeared by the Southern Poverty Law Center

subtitle: I paid a professional price when the group attacked me in 2009. Now I wear its mud as a badge of honor.

"Richard Cohen, president of the Southern Poverty Law Center, was to testify before the House Homeland Security Committee about threats posed by domestic extremist groups. The hearing, scheduled for Tuesday, has been postponed because of Hurricane Irma. As a black conservative who has been smeared by the SPLC, I recommend against reinviting Mr. Cohen.

When Morris Dees and Joseph J. Levin Jr. started the SPLC in 1971, it was needed and it had noble goals. In recent years, however, it has become a tool of the radical left. Domestically, it uses its influence to paint with a broad brush that smears immigration restrictionists, orthodox Christian churches and pro-family organizations as “hate groups.”

What landed me in the SPLC’s crosshairs was a Sept. 10, 2009, Huffington Post blog entry titled “Mission Creep and the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Misguided Focus.” I pointed out the SPLC’s silence about video footage released after the 2008 elections showing members of the New Black Panther Party, decked out in full paramilitary regalia, patrolling a polling precinct in Philadelphia where they were clearly intimidating white voters.

Although several news organizations covered the story, the SPLC ignored the incident. At the time, the law center was spending an inordinate amount of time attacking then-CNN host Lou Dobbs for his relentless focus on illegal immigration. It demanded that CNN fire the anchor. After CNN and Mr. Dobbs parted ways, the SPLC took credit for getting him off the air. I ended my post with a one-liner that raised the ire of the organization and had a devastating effect on my life. I wrote: “Rather than monitoring hate groups, the Southern Poverty Law Center has become one.” ..."

Apparently the truth hurts.
