Far Left Communist/Anti-Capitalist History


Still relevant today with the rise of communism/marxism/maoism/socialism from the far left.

Fred Hampton (August 30, 1948 – December 4, 1969) was an American activist and revolutionary, chairman of the Illinois chapter of the Black Panther Party (BPP), and deputy chairman of the national BPP. Hampton was murdered while sleeping at his apartment during a raid by a tactical unit of the Cook County, Illinois State's Attorney's Office, in conjunction with the Chicago Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation in December 1969. A civil lawsuit filed in 1970 resulted in 1982 in a settlement of $1.85 million.

Hampton founded the Chicago chapter of the Black Panther Party in November 1968 where he immediately established a community service program. This included the provision of free breakfasts for schoolchildren and a medical clinic that did not charge patients for treatment.

Hampton also taught political education classes and instigated a community control of police. In the early hours of the 4th December, 1969, the Panther headquarters was raided by the police for the fourth time. The police later claimed that the Panthers opened fire and a shoot-out took place. During the next ten minutes Fred Hampton and Mark Clark were killed. Witnesses claimed that Hampton was wounded in the shoulder and then executed by a shot to the head.

There are Far Left Parties in Japan, Israel, Italy, France, Germany, the UK, Scandinavia, India and dozens of other developed countries to this very day.

Makes me wonder if you all of you US Rightwingers think that drumming up the "Red Scare" with Statist Capitalist China is really gonna go anywhere. Last I checked, Trump and his family still have financial ties to China too.
