There are many thousands of ways to correct individuals. The best way is to send one armed expert. I don’t mean to outshout him with logic, I mean correct him. Slay him, assassinate him with thuggee, by silenced pistol, shotgun, with a high-powered rifle shooting from four hundred yards away and behind a rock. Suffocation, strangulation, crucifixion, burning with flamethrower, dispatch by bomb. Auto accidents happen all day. People drown, get poleaxed, breathe noxious gases, get stabbed, get poisoned with bad water, ratsbane, germicides, hemlock, arsenic, strychnine, L.S.D. 25 concentrate, cyanide, hydrocyanic acid, vitriol. A snake could bite him, nicotine oil is deadly, an overdose of dope; there’s deadly nightshade, belladonna, datura, wolfsbane, foxglove, aconite, ptomaine, botulism, and the death of a thousand cuts. But a curse won’t work.

Fuuuuuck.

A brilliant book, I can't believe I didn't read it sooner. It expands on his thinking from Soledad Brother, one could say this book is partly "Guerilla Warfare" and like a proto "Settlers". Despite his decade plus incarceration, he was far better read on theory at 30 than I sure was. The analysis of fascism is spot on. His points about the need for armed revolutionary soldiers is very important. Having just read "The Jakarta Method", in which the unarmed Indonesian Communist Party was massacred by the army is a testament to the thoughts of Jackson. He even predicted the downfall of Allende. Although this was from 50 years ago before the rise of neo-liberalism, I feel like this is gaining relevance due to the violence of this political period in the west, as the capitalist pigs have tried various economic measures to curb the revolutionary and uncooperative masses and are now resorting back to hyperfascist strongarm tactics.

This is on my reading list, but I just started another A. B. Abrams book (Surviving the Unipolar Era: North Korea’s 35 Year Standoff With the United States, 2025). I'll get to this one in the next six months though, I read the beginning and it was absolute dead-on in it's analysis.
