BAMN
by any means necessary. translation of a phrase coined by the french intellectual jean paul sartre in his play dirty hands.
popularized by malcolm x in the last year of his life.
“i was not the one to invent lies: they were created in a society divided by cl-ss and each of us inherited lies when we were born. it is not by refusing to lie that we will abolish lies: it is by eradicating cl-ss by any means necessary (bamn).”
-— jean paul sartre, dirty hands: act 5, scene 3. 1963
“we declare our right on this earth to be a man, to be a human being, to be respected as a human being, to be given the rights of a human being in this society, on this earth, in this day, which we intend to bring into existence by any means necessary (bamn).”
— malcolm x, 1965
