Preamble
This constitution will establish the liberation of the nations of the people of turtle island; from shore to
shore we will take back control of our lands and lives. This document and our four guiding principles of
unity will make an unbreakable bond among the revolutionaries that take part of our liberatory mission.
Land and Organized power are our tools to fight the colonizers.
As people of Turtle Island and her sisters, invaded by the white settler; we know that we must unite against
our common enemy, the colonizer.
To build our own system of governance, to be the masters of our own reality, to reap the full rewards of our
labor, we can’t have anything less than absolute people’s dictatorship in relation to the land. To be liberated
from colonialism, we must come together and take back our lands and free our people from the violence of
colonialism through the collective power of organization. The American empire and its subservient
neocolonialists will crumble and power will concentrate in the hands of the masses for their
self-determination and preservation in the years to come.
May each indigenous nation build themselves up united as Black Hammer Organization (BHO). We, the
Local Council of the first Hammer City, ratify the following governing document for our own self
determination within Hammer City.
Colonialism is our enemy. We define colonialism as the violent economic, cultural and political takeover of
one country onto another, a subjugation of indigenous people by an outside power.
Chapter One: Fundamental Principles of the State
Article 1. We believe the Colonized Proletariat should have dictatorship over our lives, labor,
land, and resources.
Understanding that capitalism was born from colonialism and is maintained at the
expense of the world’s Colonized people through genocide, theft, rape and pillage, Black Hammer believes
firmly that Colonized Poor and Working Class people should have complete dictatorship over our lives,
labor, land, and resources, to produce and reproduce for ourselves. This is the only genuine path to an
international society where no person lives at the expense of another.
a. The Local Council is the leadership of Hammer City, it runs major operations under the
guidance of BHO and overwhelming consent of the people of Hammer City.
Article 2. We believe all Colonized Proletariat are equal; no matter gender, sexuality, age, body
type, location, religion, language, mental/physical differences and/or bi/multiracial identity.
The colonial, white power system is notoriously known for creating divisive, illegitimate labels to have
Colonized people fight amongst ourselves while it continues to exploit us for its own benefit. Black Hammer
accepts all Colonized working class people and believes we are equal. Any action or rhetoric that goes
against that notion is an attack on the organization and our ability to be a liberated people. Hammer City is
multinational. The land principally belongs to the national stewards of the continent, though a unified
multinational State of proletariat dictatorship is the highest weapon to smash Colonialism and its offspring,
Capitalism and Imperialism.
Article 3. We believe all the problems the colonized face are from colonialism and the
submissive neocolonialists that are within our colonized nations.
Colonialism is responsible for ALL of the misery and contradictions we as Colonized people face. The comparative wealth and luxuries enjoyed
by colonizer communities throughout the world are a result of our stolen labor and resources being hoarded
into their community. Neocolonialists, from Barack Hussein Obama to the numerous puppets installed in
our communities, are our enemies who carry out the will of their colonial masters. We believe strongly that
colonialism and neocolonialism must be thoroughly destroyed in order to solve the greatest problem to ever
burden humankind.
a. The Local Council strives to overturn all contradictions enforced by colonialism -- to heal
all divides between and within colonized nations, and to restore the land and colonized
people to the highest degree possible
b. We define contradictions as a fundamental problem caused by colonialism, capitalism,
white power. Something that must be fixed, overturned and made to work in the favor of
the colonized indigenous people.
c. The Local Council strives to hold colonizers and neocolonialists accountable for
counter-revolutionary activities.
Article 4. We believe that the Colonized Proletariat is the only true proletariat. Only through
our leadership can white power, capitalism, colonialism, imperialism and all its symptomatic
offspring be smashed.
Colonial-capitalism was created and is maintained at the expense of Colonized
people worldwide. From the attack on Africa and forced dispersal of African people throughout the world, to
the genocide of the Indigenous peoples of america, capitalism rests on the backs of the international,
Colonized proletariat. Black Hammer believes that, similarly, capitalism can only be destroyed at the hands
of the Colonized proletariat.

City to sponsor this position and to defend and be fully committed to it until another organizational

E. Lower state bodies are responsible to higher ones and must render accounts of their work;
F. Decisions of higher state bodies are compulsory for lower ones; naturally, this does not mean the
