“Anyone who knew him, would appreciate that for Tongogara, the Chinese revolution and the teachings of Mao Zedong were central to his outlook on life – a veritable political compass, alongside his unshakeable commitment to the liberation of African people worldwide.” Keith Bennett, in a speech commemorating Comrade Tongogara organised by the Free Mumia Abu Jamal Campaign UK.

“Whilst the people of every country, including the progressive and democratic forces in the axis powers themselves, played their part, above all, this victory was inseparable from the heroic exploits, struggle and sacrifice of the great Soviet people of all nationalities and the great Chinese people.” Keith Bennett in his speech to the Workers Party of Britain 80th anniversary meeting.

“What is very important is to hammer out some kind of common minimum program. People need to leave some of their old disputes and disagreements at the door – not to give up their individual points of view but to realise that the trouble with wanting a realignment of the left around everything that you agree with is that everybody else wants the same thing too! So there has to be some kind of element of cooperation and goodwill.” Interview with Keith Bennett on the Crispin Flintoff Show.
