Thus the role of the ballot is to vote for the best liberation strategy for the oppressed within higher education.==== |

Our affirmation opens up space for black social life within regimes of social death through maroonage in the university. Liberation occurs through a fugitive existence within but not of the university in which we as students steal the intellectual labor of the university and bring it back to our communities. Limitations on speech necessarily limit both how theft occurs and what materials can be stolen.==== |
