Pills of OUR history (1). For those who confuse assistentialism (see charity) typical of developed countries towards the Third World (read as: giving back an insignificant slice of everything that has been taken away) with solidarity, and to reconcile, with a few, simple and incisive words, struggles that, only apparently, seem different or even clash.
"I would just like to add one last point regarding the solidarity between the working-class movement and our national liberation movement. There are two alternatives: either we admit that there is indeed a struggle against imperialism that concerns us all, or we deny it. If, as all evidence suggests, imperialism exists and is simultaneously trying to dominate the working class in all advanced countries and stifle national liberation movements in all underdeveloped countries, then there is a single enemy against whom we are fighting. If we are fighting together, then I think the main aspect of our SOLIDARITY is extremely simple: it's to fight."
