The concept was that a revolutionary arm struggle is a very vital aspect of any progressive movement for revolutionary change. This is a concept that the people of the movement had to be aware of in order to expose it to the people of te community. Moore states that “ locking up political prisoners is a way to waeken a movement.” Usually the political prisoner is the head of the movement.

Which makes their defense almost impossible in the court room, where the laws are determine by the ruling class.”
