The press release says the African Liberation Support Committee (ALSC) supports the struggles of the Palestinian peoples and opposes the oil monopolies in their attempt to continue the super exploitation of oil producing third world countries, and the masses of people in oil importing capitalist countries. ALSC supports nationalizing oil companies and urges more boycotts by the oil-producing countries against the major imperialist countries: Israel, Portugal, Rhodesia, South Africa, Japan, Western Europe, Canada, and the USA. The widespread belief in an "energy crisis" is the sham result of imperialist propaganda generated by the oil monopolies. The press release mentions hydro-electric power (and the Cahora Bassa, Cunene River, Aswan, and Akosombo Dams), the Volta River, Arab countries boycotting the pro-Israel oil-importing countries, tax subsidies and rebates, gasoline allocations, the U.S. military establishment, conservation and ecology legislation, off-shore drilling, price controls, the Gulf Oil Company, Cabinda Province, a general crisis of the imperialist system, the Black liberation movement, democracy, an anti-imperialist united front movement, peoples of African descent, the African revolution, the Portuguese military budget, and natural resources.
