“A revolution is bloody. Revolution is hostile. Revolution knows no compromise. Revolution overturns and destroys everything that gets in its way. And you, sitting around here like a knot on the wall, saying, “I’m going to love these folks no matter how much they hate me.” No, you need a revolution. Whoever heard of a revolution where they lock arms, as Reverend Cleage was pointing out beautifully, singing “We Shall Overcome”? Just tell me. You don’t do that in a revolution. You don’t do any singing; you’re too busy swinging.” KnowsWayNeedsMatterHateHeardRevolutionWallArmsSingingSittingOvercomingBusyFolksCompromiseBloodyLocksHostilePointingToo BusyHate MeKnotsSitting AroundReverendsNo CompromiseThey Hate Me Author:Malcolm X
“The techno-industrial system is exceptionally tough due to its so-called "democratic" structure and its resulting flexibility. Because dictatorial systems tend to be rigid, social tensions and resistance can be built up in them to the point where they damage and weaken the system and may lead to revolution. But in a "democratic" system, when social tension and resistance build up dangerously the system backs off enough, it compromises enough, to bring the tensions down to a safe level.” MayEnoughSocialLevelsRevolutionSafeToughBuiltStructureDemocraticDuesResistanceCompromiseDamageTensionFlexibilityTechno Author:Theodore Kaczynski

“The charged life, then, usually calls to us after we have done what we were supposed to do, become who we thought we were supposed to be, lived as we thought we were supposed to live. Then the safety and comfort and compromise get to us, and a stirring of restlessness and revolution sends us off in search of greater adventures and meaning.
