a copy of the original flambeau sept 29th 1976 artical.
The question of the death penalty is not a question of abstract principles. It is a question of by whom, by which class and against class this form of repression is accomplished. We absolutely oppose the death penalty when used by the capitalist state against the workers and minorities.....the supreme court decision is of great educational value. It teaches that political power is maintained by force and violence, This is a lesson that the working class will never forget. When the working class itself takes power (socialism), it will remind the pig capitalists of this lesson in politics.
