![Paramilitary White Organizations](images/fileicons/nodigital.png)
This recording is of a meeting organized by the National Committee Against Repression to discuss the nature of white paramilitary organizations and how to organize against them. The meeting consists of speakers from the National Committee to Free the Puerto Rican Prisoners of War and the National Committee to Defend the New Afrikan Freedom Fighters.
Both speakers discuss the KKK and its connection to the police and the state, the growing repression in American society, the role of corporations, and the limits of reforms. They also discuss global imperialism and the role paramilitary organizations play in re-enforcing the interests of the state. During a question and answer discussion, audience members ask about survivalists, Mormons, death squads in Latin America, white involvement in the anti-imperialist movement, and other topics. Members of the meeting then pass a four-part resolution taking a position against liberal reform organizations, recommending self-defense and preemptive defense against white paramilitary organizations, recommending that women focus on countering the recruitment of women into white paramilitary organizations, and recommending that whites engage in campaigns discouraging white supremacy. Tape cuts out.
