Ted Kaczynski's Letter Correspondence With Kevin Tucker

Tucker's Thoughts on Ted in 2023

In regards to my relationship to Ted Kaczynski, who I overtly do not support and religious [sic: religiously] point to as manipulative, I often say he was trying to groom me to lead his revolution.
I’m not kidding or exaggerating, nor would I. Here it is in his writing.

Why do you think I take the time to write you these long, long letters when I have so much on my hands that I can't keep up with it all? The reason is that I see you as potentially a very valuable revolutionary, and Species Traitor as potentially an important vehicle for propagation of the ideas on which a true revolutionary movement could be based -- if only I can convince you of the need to make a clean break with leftist-reformist-pacifist-feminist-"rights" twit ideas. Or rather with people who are attached to those ideas.

And, to be honest, there were things about Ted as a person that I could relate to. But he dropped out of society in the peak of Maoist BS from a vortex of it. Like any revolutionary, he’s willing to do whatever he believes it takes to meet his ends. He’s not to be trusted.

... I'm old enough to remember when mimeograph machines were in common use. I don't suppose you could find a memeograph machine today, unless maybe in antique store, but maybe there are other reproduction devices available that are relatively cheap.
