I’ve read BAE as well fam. I’m going to tell you like this bro. We can point out all the “internal contradictions” we like but the reason the Panthers “failed” is because they had the full weight of state oppression (COINTELPRO) on their neck. I’ve talked to elder members of SNCC and the BPP and the way they describe the rampant paranoia in their everyday lives is something none of us can fathom unless we experienced it ourselves.

Religious worship of bpp and the uncritical adoption of their charity operations under the banner of "mutual aid" prevents real analysis of why they completely failed.
