“Just because the educational work of the Anarcho-Syndicalists is directed toward the development of independent thought and action, they are outspoken opponents of all those centralizing tendencies which are so characteristic of political labour parties. But centralism, that artificial organization from above downward which turns over the affairs of everybody in a lump to a small minority, is always attended by barren official routine ; and this crushes individual conviction, kills all personal initiative by lifeless discipline and bureaucratic ossification, and permits no independent action. The organization of Anarcho-Syndicalism is based on the principles of Federalism, on free combination from below upward, putting the right of self-determination of every member above everything else and recognizing only the organic agreement of all on the basis of like interests and common convictions.

When it came out dozens of minutes later, fragrant and golden brown, she inhaled the aroma, basking in her sense of accomplishment at a perfect result. There was nothing like taking basic ingredients and transforming them into something both beautiful and tasty.”

“Just because they write something In this font
And break apart their lines
To rhyme
To dramatize
To imitate
Doesn’t make what they say true.
And quotations marks
Don’t make sentences “life conclusions.”
A post, a page,
A billboard, or a wallpaper—
Let it swirl for a few
and if you want to spit it out,
Vomit.
If you want to keep it,
Let it ride shotgun.
But argue with it first.
Debate.
Don’t simply accept it
Because you may
By accident
Accept a monster
Disguised
As a poem.”
