The workers create all wealth and the toiling masses should be the
caretakers of that wealth.
All
the rest of us eat only by the charity of those torn knuckles and callused
palms.
Remember this class-consciousness, is knowing which side
are you on, and class analysis is knowing who is there with you, under what
conditions and how long. Workers can trust only themselves in the long run.
But, in the short and medium run they do need allies.
We
intellectuals on the Left according the AmÃlcar
Cabral, should be willing to commit cultural suicide as a class to fully place
ourselves at the disposal of the working class in the struggle against capital,
neo-colonialism, imperialism, political irrelevancy.
To see a social injustice and not cry forth with great
moral indignation is to help to preserve that injustice.
Thus I
say a college will become an institution of learning only when janitors and day
laborers are the professors and the professors are the students. Teachers are
the ones with the knowledge to share. My humility begins with the knowledge I have
much to learn.
