Summary:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jim Jones reviews recent news developments and announces additional classes in socialism for those who have either failed to turn in their papers of self-analysis or who didn\u2019t pass a recent news quiz. He is forgiving of and sympathetic of most of the people who have to take the extra class: many people who didn\u2019t turn in their papers were on other assignments, either in Georgetown or on the boat; and many Jonestown residents who didn\u2019t pass the news quiz are elderly and uneducated, people who didn\u2019t have the advantages of growing up in middle class America, and they shouldn\u2019t \u201cfeel any stigma about failing the test.\u201d Nevertheless, he asks for those he names to \u201ccooperate with loving requirements [because] a community has to follow rules to succeed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jones\u2019 only reprimand \u2013 repeated on two occasions during the tape \u2013 is in demanding that children and other members of the community stop calling each other \u201ccapitalists\u201d when they criticize one another. \u201cThe benefits of socialism must be pointed out in the nursery and toddler and school-age levels,\u201d he says early in the tape. \u201cDon\u2019t speak of someone in terms of being capitalist. No one here is capitalist.\u201d He reiterates the point near the close when he says, \u201c[N]o member of the cooperative is allowed to call another member capitalist. This will be name-calling in the same category of name-calling and teasing. We will not tolerate this labeling.\u201d<\/p>\n

While he declares that \u201cSocialism is a doctrine of environmental determinism,\u201d he is also emphatic that Jonestown is its true manifestation. The community does not have crime, does not have disease, and does not have the poverty of capitalist America, and Jonestown should celebrate that. \u201cThe benefits of socialism, is what I want pointed out. Otherwise, children will rebel. And that would be tragic against the most beautiful thing in the world, socialism.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to the news items, Jones reads a lengthy description of the history and political geography of Israel. While his source is likely the same almanac he read from a few days earlier in a href=”http:\/\/jonestown.sdsu.edu\/?page_id=93628″>Q 324<\/a>, he adds several criticisms of Zionism, including charges that many rich Jews sold out to Nazi Germany and undercut socialist movements, to the extent that \u201cthe Zionist element of the Jews all cooperated in the murder of the Jews in the gas oven, the incinerators in Hitler\u2019s Germany.\u201d<\/p>\n

His only observation on Christianity reflects his latter atheism: \u201cThe original Jewish state in Palestine was destroyed by the Romans 70 years after the death of Jesus \u2013 so-called Jesus \u2013 of Nazareth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Among the shorter news items:<\/p>\n

\u2022 The Israeli Defense Minister meets his Egyptian counterpart in preparation for a meeting with US Secretary Vance;
\n\u2022 Israel holds on to South Lebanon.
\n\u2022 The Guyana referendum with strengthen the power of the working class;
\n\u2022 Carter challenges the Soviet Union for putting dissidents on trial;
\n\u2022 Three men of wealth \u2013 Groucho Marx, Elvis, and Howard Hughes \u2013 all die in circumstances of deprivation;
\n\u2022 Andrew Young admits existence of political prisoners in America, faces criticism;
\n\u2022 China charges Vietnam with attempted infiltration;
\n\u2022 Namibian independence still on course by year\u2019s end;
\n\u2022 Spain bans tourist ships of a class that recently burned.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
