It has been my experience that because of institutional and individual racism

Q.
And you think this corruption was going on in the 1970s?
A.
I think it’s going on right now.
Q.
What about unequal distribution, you talked about that a moment ago.
A.
Yes.
Q.
Explain what you mean by that.
A.
Underpaid employees, benefits being thrown back, medical care being
rolled back, working more hours for less pay.

Q.
And when you talk about unequal distribution, are you talking about it
being unequal based on race?
A.
No, I mean being unequal period. Those who own the resources of this
country, who own the means of production in this country, the industries,
you know, when they pay a man for less than his work is worth, when
they refuse to allow him the benefits from the wealth that they’re making
from his labor, when they cut back on medical care, when they cut back
on benefits and trust funds or loss, I think that’s a form of corruption.
Q.
In the 1970s did you advocate violence in order to overthrow this corrupt
government?
A.
No. I advocated unity, organizing to petition the government, to protest.
Q.
Did you advocate that a revolution had to take place?
A.
Yes.
Q.
Explain that to me.
A.
Revolution meaning that things just need change, that the country had to
change, that the government had to start protecting all of its citizens, that
private enterprise had to stop being consumed, [it] was accumulating all
of this obscene amount of wealth and not paying workers decent salaries,
not giving them medical coverage or retirement benefits.
Q.
So you advocated a peaceful revolution as opposed to a bloody revolution.
A.
Yes.
