WWW.MALCOLM-CHE.COM has the interest of posting articles, political information and analysis that carries forward the best tradition of fighters against racism & oppression and for revolutionary change. We support many political figures and traditions, but we think Malcolm X and Che Guevara are two of the best.

WWW.MALCOLM-CHE.COM represents for our brothers and sisters that are incarcerated and we relate to the streets, but we also stand with the best traditions of revolutionary change. Enough with America’s fetish for locking everyone up and get-tough-on-crime policies that criminalize a huge portion of our youth! Enough with police brutalization and terror in our communities! Onwards to a socialist future where we elevate PEOPLE OVER PROFIT !!! It’s no lie when we say our people are inside modern day slavery!!

Malcolm-Che would like to thank the advice they have received over the years from Kumar, who is currently incarcerated since 1993. We’ll hold it down ’till you get home!! If it wasn’t for Kumar we probably wouldn’t have gotten political, so he deserves a lot of credit for what we’re doing here.

AGAINST A “BAD APPLE” PERSPECTIVE ON POLICE BRUTALITY: Among other things, this website is dedicated to disproving the theory that police brutality is the result of a few “bad apples.” Policing an oppressed population in a land of wealth is never going to be peaceful and respectful; it can only be violent and brutal. While we support efforts at increasing accountability and attempting to secure justice for victims, we hold this entire system ultimately accountable for this police brutality. It is bigger than one cop, one narcotics department, one police department. The overseers of today are tasked with job of keeping poor people in line as these oppressed people struggle to maintain. It’s not about bad apples, or bad cops, it’s about an entire class society that needs to be changed; without fundemental change to this society the police will always have to protect those who have from those who don’t, and this will never be pretty. What this ultimately means is that a struggle against police brutality brings into the question the entire nature of the state and how it is structured (who it serves).

“The police department, is like a crew
That does whatever they want to do” – KRS ONE

“Black Panthers, Brown Berets
We watched the watchers and found a way” – Dilated Peoples

“After the Civil War, the form of slavery changed from chattel to economic slavery, and we were thrown onto the labor market to compete at a disadvantage with poor whites. Ever since that time, our principal enemy must be isolated and identified as capitalism. The slaver was and is the factory owner, the businessman of capitalist America, the man responsible for employment, wages, prices, control of the nation’s institutions and culture. It was the capitalist infrastructure of Europe and the U.S. which was reponsible for the rape of Africa and Asia. Capitalism murdered those 30 million in the Congo…” – George Jackson p. 236 Soledad Brother

El Hajj Malik El-Shabazz AKA Malcolm X

AKA “the prince of Harlem” was a soldier for human rights and one of the best and outspoken voices to criticize racism in America’s history. He was the best orator of the entire 20th century. His father was killed by racists and his own death was a result of traditional Cointelpro tactics that successfully pitted oppressed against oppressed. Malcolm X’s grasp of history, racism, and human rights are a shining example for us as we fight the Battle of Ideas; we can only hope to develop our analysis to the extent that he had developed his by the end of his life. We also hope to draw attention to the often overlooked end of his life, as he was evolving into an explicitly anti-capitalist revolutionary.

“We have to realize what part our struggle has in the overall world struggle.” – Malcolm X Speaks p.88

“The press is so powerful in its image-making role, it can make a criminal look like he’s the victim and make the victim look like he’s the criminal.” Malcolm X Speaks, p.93

“If you aren’t careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” Malcolm X Speaks, p.93

“And you don’t see any anti-Castro Cubans around here – we eat them up.” – Malcolm X Speaks, p.102

“Why does [police brutality] exist? Because our people in this particular society live in a police state.” Malcolm X Speaks p.66

“Any occupied territory is a police state; and this is what Harlem is. Harlem is a police state; the police in Harlem, their presence is like occupation forces, like an occupying army. They’re not in Harlem to protect us; they’re not in Harlem to look out for our welfare; they’re in Harlem to protect the interests of the businessmen who don’t even live there.” Malcolm X Speaks p.66

“As the oppressor always points out to the oppressed, ‘The odds are against you.’” Malcolm X Speaks p.68

“They system in this country cannot produce freedom for an Afro-American. It is impossible for this system, this economic system, this political system, this social system, this system, period.” Malcolm X Speaks p.69

“It’s impossible for a white person to believe in capitalism and not believe in racism. You can’t have capitalism without racism.” Malcolm X Speaks p.69

“If you find [a white person] and you happen to get that person into a coversation and they have a philosophy that makes you sure they don’t have this racism in their outlook, usually they’re socialists or their political philosophy is socialism.” Malcolm X Speaks p.69

“I’m not a racist. I’ve never been a racist. I believe in indicting the system and the person that is responsible for our condition.” – Malcolm X Speaks p. 71

Ernesto Guevara de Serna AKA Che Guevara

AKA “Che” embodies the selfless socialist revolutionary, a martyr for our cause that stands as a symbol for our potential as internationalist revolutionaries. We recognize him as one of the primary fighters against the Stalinist regimes’ model of socialism. His execution at the hands of the C.I.A. stands as a reminder of what they do to us when we become recognizable figures, the way that they relate to us.
