“No revolution can ever succeed as a factor of liberation unless the MEANS used to further it be identical in spirit and tendency with the PURPOSES to be achieved. Revolution is the negation of the existing, a violent protest against man's inhumanity to man with all the thousand and one slaveries it involves. It is the destroyer of dominant values upon which a complex system of injustice, oppression, and wrong has been built up by ignorance and brutality. It is the herald of NEW VALUES, ushering in a transformation of the basic relations of man to man, and of man to society.” MenMeanHas BeensUsedSpiritPurposeValuesIgnoranceRevolutionThousandSucceedBuiltRelationTransformationSlaveryComplexesInjusticeViolentTendenciesFactorsOppressionLiberationProtestDominantIdenticalBrutalityDestroyersInhumanityNegationComplex SystemsInhumanity To Man Author:Emma Goldman

It is this union of passionate interest in the detailed facts with equal devotion to abstract generalisation which forms the novelty of our present society.” MenWorldMindHas BeensFactsFormInterestPrinciplesModernEqualRelationUnionsPassionatePracticalsDevotionAll TimeAbstractStubbornTemperamentNoveltyWeavingPhilosophicVehementGeneralisation Author:Alfred North Whitehead
