“Unity means sharing in the struggle, the risks, the sacrifices, the aims, ideas, concepts and strategies, assumed after discussion and analysis.  Unity means a common struggle against annexationists, quislings and corrupt individuals who have nothing in common with a militant revolutionary.  It is to this unity revolving around the idea of independence and against the empire as it advances over the peoples of the Americas that I always referred to”.
