Revolutionary Suicide

There's so much to respond to in this book.

Huey is fascinating and his viewpoint of events is so crucial for a proper understanding of the civil rights era. Especially when compared to the modern movement and the inherent difference in philosophies.

No doubt Huey always seemed to think he was correct no matter the situation. That he was smarter than all those around him. Some of this may have been attributed to youth but this attitude continued on.

His love of the CCP is particularity alarming. I wonder if he would deny their reality today or if he would be a tanky. The blind spots he created for regimes of his political affiliation is alarming.

Hueys focus on class struggle over race is admirable and I believe spot on with history. It would be beneficial for our current society as well.
