Both the SCUM Manifesto and The Black Panther Party utilize language in their writings that come across as straight forward and one sided. the terms and conditions of the desires of both are explicitly stated, leaving the reader no room for interpretation. This radical use of language, however, is done intentionally for many reasons. When using radical language in writing, it forces the reader to focus on the main points the writer is trying to get across, rather than wasting time on minute details that will do nothing to get across then intent for which the manifesto was written in the first place. When manifestos are written, it is usually intended for a set, or given, audience; an audience that agrees with all, or most, of the points being made because they themselves have experienced something personally that will be reflective in the manifesto. While some people may view manifestos as a calling to get more people to identify with the ideas being stated, manifestos are rather a calling to people who already share the same views. They are spread in an effort to solidify what certain groups of people are already feeling. If used correctly, manifestos can serve as a driving force to gather these groups of people to affect social change. They seem “radical” because it is often one sided. However, sometimes that is necessary in order to inflict the wanted change. Manifestos also are not made very often, but when they are and when they are spread around quickly, it shows how willing people are for that change to occur. And sometimes, using “radical” language is the only way to attain that change.
