Power is the ability - to define phenomena - and make it act in a designed manner. What kind of phenomena? Social phenomena! What is a social phenomena? Black people, Mexican Americans, any kind of people, begins to learn that the social phenomena is that, in fact, U.S., racist, decadent, capitalist, imperialist America is a police state. And a police state exists here and that these pigs are doing nothing but protecting the average businessman and the demogoging politicians, protecting the exploiting system they got going.
