Yeshitela Wolf Metaphor

[RedSkunk]

"I'm told the Native People in the Arctic, in order to kill wolves take a sharp knife, melt the ice, and bury the handle in the ice and let it freeze over with the blade projecting up. They would cover the blade with blood. Wolves would smell the blade and come to try to eat. They would lick the blade. When they licked the blade they would cut their tongues and they would drink their own blood. They really were thinking that they had a lot to eat then, and of course they were drinking their own blood and killing themselves in the process.

That's what imperialism has done to our communities. It takes away the ability for you to live in a normal situation and then they bury a blade in the ice and put some blood on it. you come to lick the blade thinking that you're getting nourishment, and actually what you're doing is killing yourself in the process."

Excerpt from, "Resistance of African People, Crisis of Imperialism:Why We must Build the National People's Democratic Uhuru Movement", by Omali Yeshitela.

How apt is the wolf metaphor in the 1st <-> 3rd world globalization chasm, or alternatively the underground drug economy in the US?

Very interesting, but I want to read other people's opinion before taking one on my own (don't know really yet). I bet the republicans bash it to death and say that they deserve it since they can't take care of themselves.
