Today’s level of mass incarceration is unprecedented in history. There are more black men under correctional control today than there were under slavery in 1850. 4 out of 5 drug arrests are for simple possession, 80% for marijuana. Most people in state prison for drug offenses have no history of violence. The “War On Drugs” is economically inefficient. It has failed to reduce drug use and is a human rights disaster. Treating drug use and addiction as a public health issue is more effective at rehabilitating individuals and benefitting the wider community than criminalization. … Enough myths. Let’s combat the economic and legalRead More →

Huey P. Newton of the Black Panther Party discusses the importance of an economic base for any social movement. Excerpt from Huey P. Newton’s dissertation, “War Against The Panthers: A Study Of Repression In America” “This willingness by the Party to use democratic means of reform and to support Black capitalism was criticized by some as inconsistent with the Panther ideology of revolutionary intercommunalism. This is partly because progressive people quite correctly observe that “It is very clear, upon reflection, what function law serves within any culture. It protects the culture’s ideology. Under capitalism it protects property, the men who own it and guard it.” From this observation, it is only a brief inferential step to the conclusion that, because law is a product and perpetuator of corporate interests in this country, it cannot be a force for significant socioeconomic change. But while this conclusion is logical in a mechanistic-sense, it is illogical, and therefore wrong, in a dialectical sense: According to the materialist conception of history, the ultimately determining element in history is the production and reproduction of real life… [I]f somebody twists this into saying that the economic element is the only determining one, he transforms that propositionRead More →
