Additional quotes by Stokely Carmichael

Lowndes was a truly totalitarian society—the epitome of the tight, insulated police state.

The capitalist press supports reform movements which forestall Revolution; these reform movements come to depend on the press and even tailor their activities to fit headlines. The capitalist press wants to intoxicate the masses with this reform movement.
