We have to understand that the prime, the primary ideological content of American fascism is racist, white supremacist, genocide. And if that's always been the case in this country, you go back to the slave days. We don't have to run it all down where you don't have

00:01:15.740 - 00:01:29.090

to go into. We'll just take him off The slaves, the Indians and Mexicans, the Puerto Ricans, all the people of this country has dealt with the colored people that has dealt with in a manner of races white supremacist, genocide. And this is the primary ideological content

00:01:29.090 - 00:02:02.940

of the fascist danger that we're now faced with. The young delegates, mostly whites and blacks with a sprinkling of Oriental and Spanish speaking, came from all sections of the country. Security conscious Black Panthers posted a guard at every door of the auditorium. Everyone entering the building

00:02:02.940 - 00:02:21.770

was searched. No weapons or alcohol was allowed. A schism among the delegates was revealed last night when several members of the militant Students for a Democratic Society were ejected from the auditorium for disruptive behavior. Today, some members of the group passed out pamphlets outside the building

00:02:21.770 - 00:02:43.300

saying S DS was being excluded from the conference. The charge was denied topics of discussion today where students and education versus fascism and workers versus fascism speakers included longtime Communist Party member Archie Brown and farm workers union spokesman Andy Chavez. But the best received speaker of

00:02:43.300 - 00:03:01.030

the day was Robert of a key in of the students for a democratic society. The three day conference will end with tomorrow's session, most of which will take place that newly named Bobby Hutton Memorial Park, located in the heart of Oakland's black ghetto. Bobby Hutton was

00:03:01.030 - 00:03:18.200

a 17 year old Black Panther killed last year in a shootout with Oakland police. The hoped for result of this three day conference is the creation of a national committee, Ah coalition of militant leaders who they say will direct the solid front in future encounters with

00:03:18.200 - 00:03:58.540

the establishment. Ben Williams reporting for eyewitness news from Oakland. Fascism It is not just a local or national fascism. There is fascist rule in Vietnam. There is fascist rule in Venezuela, and this is instituted by the very people who try to put on a liberal

00:03:58.540 - 00:04:27.370

facade when they sit in the statehouse of New York. Like Rockefeller on, we have to understand that. I think there is no such thing in this age as a progressive capitalist or progressive imperialist or even a progressive Democrat. There may be people from among the working

00:04:27.370 - 00:04:41.220

class are among the oppressed classes who are confused and still tricked into being in the Democratic Party or to going along with the Imperialists. But there is no such thing as a progressive conscious Democrat. Ah, progressive conscious capital, Ah, progressive imperialist. To think that way will

00:04:41.220 - 00:04:44.770

deliver us into the hands of those very people that are responsible for fascism.
