Armed propaganda is an integral part of coordinated urban guerrilla operations. Each individual urban guerrilla operation is in itself a form of armed propaganda. Armed propaganda tactics should be carried out with specific objectives in mind. inevitably all armed actions serve as propaganda vehicles that are fed into the mass communications system.

Bank assaults, ambushes, desertions, the diversion of weapons, the rescue of prisoners, executions, kidnappings, sabotage, terrorism, and the war of nerves are cases in point.

Airplane hijackings undertaken by revolutionaries, attacking and capturing ships and trains, can also have a propaganda goal in mind.

The urban guerrilla must make use of an underground press, and must be able to duplicate newspapers, pamphlets, flyers, and leaflets for propaganda purposes.

An underground press allows the urban guerrilla to bring large numbers of the masses into the revolutionary struggle. The masses can support the revolutionary struggle through the distribution of propaganda materials issued by the underground press, although to do so means acting alone and risking their lives as revolutionaries.

Inventive urban guerrillas can also use catapults, mortars, and other carriers to distribute anti-government pamphlets and printed materials. Tape recordings, using the facilities of occupied radio or television stations, loudspeakers, wall graffiti, and pasting propaganda broadsides and placards in high, inaccessible places, are other forms of disseminating propaganda.

Armed propaganda still does not ensure the urban guerrilla the full support of all the masses. Yet it is necessary only to win the support of a portion of the masses. Urban guerrillas neutralize the remainder with the slogan: "Let he who does not wish to do anything for the revolutionaries, do nothing against them!"
