Oso Blanco’s 2024 Running Down the Walls statement

Sisters and Brothers and all beings we love and fight for. I Oso Blanco
thank you so much for coming out this year. I love you all and cannot
make it without you all as a whole. For one is never bigger than the
whole of everyone. We must acknowledge that. Run down these walls! RUN
THEM DOWN TO DUST! It has never been worse inside these prisons. We must
run down these walls and free all life. We must reach deep down within
and hit the internal switch. The switch of power in our sacred heart
realm. We must activate the warrior of fire inside of us all. Things on
the inside of federal prisons have gotten much worse in the last year.
The system is broke and they nearly starve us much of the time. We are
always on the hunt for food. And we are suffering a much higher pattern
of violence against prisoners by staff. Things are more serious than
ever and I have close to 30 years in federal prisons. This is my second
case that’s federal, so I’ve seen the extreme decline in federal
prisons. It’s time to really truly rise up and run down all walls
forever. It’s time to put in the real and serious work action.

Love,

Oso Blanco

Xinachtli’s 2024 Running Down the Walls statement

SOLIDARITY DECLARATION
25TH ANNUAL RUNNING DOWN THE WALLS EVENT
ANARCHIST BLACK CROSS FEDERATION
SEPTEMBER 15, 2024

As a long-time recipient of economic support from the WARCHEST FUND of
the ANARCHIST BLACK CROSS FEDERATION (ABCF), let me extend my gratitude
for your persistent support and let you know that I have appreciated
your consistent support down through many years of struggle, given the
circumstances. Texas prison does not compensate prisoners for their
slave labor, and, even if it did, I would never participate in
contributing prisoner labor to a slavery institution with deep roots in
white settler colonialism, white supremacy and the African slave trade,
as Professor Gerald Horne, University of Houston History and African
American Studies Department, archived in his excellent book, THE COUNTER
REVOLUTION OF 1836: TEXAS SLAVERY & Jim Crow AND THE ROOTS OF U.S.
FASCISM, 20220, Int’l Publishers, New York; and to a “criminal justice
system” that targets people of color for genocidal mass incarceration,
and used to repress radical political movements seeking freedom from the
chains of capitalist, oppression, movements we are a part of, the
government and the ruling class always seeks to destroy in maintaining
its tyranny over society and the rest of the world, more pernicious and
naked in the Deep Jim Crow South. We thank ABCF for being true to its
principles, and for supporting the “prison movement” and those of us
imprisoned as a result of our direct actions in fighting back against
predatory neocolonialism, capitalism, and imperialism, from within the
belly of the fascist beast.

I am a renowned Chicano political prisoner, supported by prominent
advocacy groups like the National Jericho Movement in support of POWs,
political prisoners, New York City, among other groups as a target of
COINTELPRO’S NEW LEFT repression in its war against Chicano militancy
and dissent, for my lifetime work of political activism, outside and
inside prisons walls, see www.freealvaro.net; CAN’T JAIL THE SPIRIT,
Comm. Against Marion Lockdown, 4th Edition, 2022; I am now going on
23-plus years in consecutive supermax solitary confinement in one of
AmeriKKKa’s most racist and repressive supermax control unit prisons in
the nation, so described by psychologist/lawyer Dr. Craig Haney, who
testified on behalf of the Texas prisoner class in the prison conditions
case in Ruiz v. Johnson, 37 F. Supp. 855, at page 908, a case I was a
witness for the prisoner class against the state, legal victories we
won, but changes were few and short, as the capitalist system will never
allow true freedoms within a system of injustices and prisoner slavery,
a prison system that has surpassed California prison as the largest
prison system in the nation, “…consistent with the state’s historical
tradition of harsh punishment, one that cages an astounding proportion
of the state’s minority population,” in the words of Professor of Law
and Sociology and Northern Illinois University Michael C. Campbell,
quoted in his excellent essay, POLITICS, PRISONS, AND LAW ENFORCEMENT:
AN EXAMINATION OF THE EMERGENCE OF “LAW AND ORDER” IN TEXAS, at 45 LAW
AND SOCIETY REVIEW 631 (Sept. 2011> You can read about the unspeakable
horrors of the brutalities and dehumanization of prisoners in Texas,
that continues to this very day, despite all the epochal legal victories
prisoners won in the celebrated prison conditions case in the Ruiz
litigation. See also 503 F. Supp. 1265 (S.D. Tex. 1980); TEXAS PRISONS;
THE WALLS CAME TUMBLING DOWN, Martin & Olsen, Tex. Monthly Press, 1983.

Fascism is on the rise, domestically and internationally, leading the
way is the hypocritical and manipulative government of the United
States, calling itself the “champion of human rights” and “moral leader
of the free world,” as its prisons run rampant with racism as held by a
panel of the UN Special Rapporteur on September 26, 2023, and as blood
drips from its genocidal murderous class, of men, women and children as
enabler of the Israeli zionist bombs exploding in encampments of
displaced Palestinians, having nothing to do with terrorism, nor attacks
against the Israeli populace, supported by our taxpayer dollars of the
U.S. imperialism war machine. Humanity mandates that oppressed people
within the juggernaut of “head of the snake fight imperialism.” We must
call it as it is, and never sugar-coat these atrocities against
oppressed humanity, nor bury our heads in the sand like a cowardly
ostrich, pretending that it is not happening. We must build unity and
solidarity amongst liberation movement organizations that stand in
opposition to U.S. imperialism, and support the defenseless Palestinian
masses entitled to the return of their occupied territories, a struggle
we link to our struggle of the oppressed Chicano people to the return of
our stolen lands, for reparations and for prosecution of past and
current war criminals responsible for massacre of innocent people in
sustaining their criminal empire of capitalist and imperialist slavery,
as the rolling class continues to destroy PLANET EARTH with their carbon
emissions fossil fuel industries, seeking world domination and
conquering all world markets for excessive enrichment of their ruling
class and its oligarchical empires.

We encourage ABCF to continue to lead the way, support its political
prisoners, as well as all oppressed and colonized nations domestically
and around the world, as the Nobel and generous work done in collecting
monies to support the Palestinian masses in the West Bank and the Gaza
Strip, starving and being this moment butchered by Israeli zionist and
U.S. imperialism bombs. LET OTHER SOCIAL MOVEMENT ORGANIZATIONS PAY HEED
TO YOUR INSPIRING ABCF WORK AND YOUR PERSISTENCE BY WAY OF SHOWING THE
WAY TOWARD OUR FREEDOM BY EXAMPLE.

SUPPORT THE WARCHEST FUND OF THE ANARCHIST BLACK CROSS FEDERATION!
SUPPORT THE PRISON MOVEMENT AND OUR IMPRISONED FREEDOM FIGHTERS!
ISRAELI ZIONIST PIGS, OUT OF THE WEST BANK AND GAZA STRIP!
MUERTE AL COLONIALISMO, CAPITALISMO, IMPERIALISMO, YANQI!
FREE PLANET EARTH!

FROM THE STEEL CAGES OF THE FASCIST TEXAS PRISON SYSTEM, a crime against humanity, I submit my solidarity statement to INTERNATIONAL DAY OF SOLIDARITY WITH LONG-TERM ANARCHIST PRISONERS, as an honorous and principled annual event to support many of us, whether we consider ourselves “anarchists, revolutionary socialists, communists,” or by any other anti-racist, anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist, anti-fascist name, the critical point is to come to full circle, no matter our “theoretical differences” over questions such as organizing a vanguard revolutionary party to lead our struggles, on “democratic centralism”, on class struggle, and the ultimate withering away of a needed revolutionary state, to ensure that once dismantled, the ruling class does not reorganize to engage in counter revolution to regain their power, lessons learned from the original Paris Commune, and many other recorded historical events in history, since the creation of the first International Working Men’s Association, and the splits that emerged in the “anarchist movement”.

But “titles” do not a revolutionary make, nor a revolution make, for not only interpreting the world, but setting out to change it, under extreme repression by the forces of fascism fearful of what a truly free, and educated class can achieve, once it frees itself of the psychological chains of mental oppression, and re-learns its historical role as “gravediggers of the old capitalist class rule system,” in organizing to create a new society, and a new world minus the capitalist system of oppression, injustices and class relations, in freeing working class labor from the shackles of capitalist accumulation, to serve the rich and their caste system, called “free enterprise” by another name. It is our own “practice” of facing these realities that make us, understanding that, as Italian anarchist Errico Malatesta once said class struggle being the most powerful weapon in the working class movement against capitalism and imperialism.

Texas, has, again, become the head of the snake of the modern industrial state, as it did in colonial times, in its settler colonialism, white supremacy and slave trade catalyst and kingpin of Jim Crow Dixieland Fascism, with the rise of the new right-wing fascist movement led by the principal architects of the ultra-Right, white Christian evangelical and anti-critical race theory movement, as we see unfolding today before our very own eyes, such as the January 6th riot led by chief fascist Donald Trump, who inspires to regain control of the oval office and the White House in November 2024, despite being a “convicted felon”. Given these tumultuous times it becomes unprincipled and immature for us to divide the “leftist movement” over theoretical differences, when what is to be done, we all know, which means to organize our oppressed communities, create our own autonomous liberated zones, create our own solidarity economy to teach the poor, the oppressed, to produce our own food, and basic necessities, and create industries, all in the collective ownership of the working class for the working class itself, where all profits are owned by and are administered equally on behalf of the workers, and their families, who produce society’s wealth.

Our struggles are common, and we must see the urgency of our class struggles, not merely, year after year, organize these events, and exchange rhetoric and blow hot air, while conditions worsen for the poor, and the nuclear superpowers such as Russia, China and the United States exchange their nuclear saber rattlings of use of nuclear weapons to protect or conquer more territories as we see going on in Ukraine, Syria, Iran, Iraq and the boiling pot running hot in Taiwan, and in the occupied territories of Palestine, and Israeli zionism, and U.S. Imperialism committing monstrous war crimes, crimes against humanity, committing genocide against innocent civilians; men, women, children, that must be brought to justice in properly convened international human rights tribunals under Nuremberg and Tokyo principles of international laws and the laws of nations, to prosecute these war criminals and the manufacture of the weapons of mass destruction manufactured in the munitions plant in Amarillo, Texas and throughout the U.S. Military Industrial Complex facilities.

Our struggles are not only a matter of freeing working class labor from the chains of capital, but a matter of survival of planet earth as the oil tycoons of the fossil fuel industries release more carbon emissions, spurring climate change crisis around the world, only to satisfy their insatiable greed and lust for more wealth, money, the conquering of underdeveloped nations and domination and control of world markets and international finance capital. A World War III is inevitable between these power hungry psychopaths that rule over us, unless we organize and depose them of their illegally acquired political power, disarm them of their arsenal of weapons of mass destruction, AND BEGIN A REVOLUTION OF NEW VALUES, A NEW REVOLUTIONARY CULTURE, A NEW REVOLUTIONARY ETHOS OF COMMUNITY CARE, LOVE, UNITY, SOLIDARY AND INDEPENDENCE AND FREEDOM FROM CAPITALISM AND IMPERIALISM BEFORE THESE IMPERIALIST BARBARIANS DESTROY PLANET EARTH AND END THIS CIVILIZATION AS WE KNOW IT…
