“The white man will try to satisfy us with symbolic victories rather than economic equity and real justice.” — Malcolm X

‘The fact is money and not votes is what rules the people. And the capitalists no longer care to buy the voters, they simply buy the “servants” after they have been elected to “serve.”
The idea that the poor man’s vote amounts to anything is the veriest delusion. The ballot is only the paper veil that hides the tricks.’
— Lucy E Parsons, The Ballot Humbug, 1905
The idea of wilderness needs no defense. It only needs more defenders. Remaining silent about the destruction of nature is an endorsement of that destruction.

Adam Smith (ARMH)
"Anarchism is the teaching of freedom. Where there is exploitation, where there is power, where authority holds sway, where centralism exists, where man keeps guard over man, where orders are given and obedience offered there is no freedom.
The destruction of all authorities, all privileges, all institutions of property and slavery can come to pass only out of the free communal spirit. The stateless community of free people, — that is communism, the solidarity of equals in freedom, that is anarchy!"
— Eric Mühsam, The Liberation of Society from the State: What is Communist Anarchism?
"In the end, fungi will destroy everything that humans have ever created. Driving monuments to the Earth, it is the fungi that will carry life through the cruelest acts that humans perpetrate against Nature and redefine spaces for plants, animals, and the wild to thrive.
Fungi set the time limit on human productions, a law resisted by past civilizations that built their greatest monuments from stone. To gain time, ancient people had to fight the unstoppable force of fungal decay.
Thus, as the ultimate harbingers of death, fungi not only symbolize the impermanence of an individual, but also the fragility of one's way of life, with each hypha slowly decaying the hourglass of a culture's legacy."
— Peter McCoy, Radical Mycology: A Treatise on Seeing & Working With Fungi
Evey: Who are you?
V: Who? Who is but the form following the function of what and what I am is a man in a mask.
Evey: Well I can see that.
V: Of course you can, I’m not questioning your powers of observation, I’m merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is.

"Estar contra el fascismo sin estar contra el capitalismo, rebelarse contra la barbarie que nace de la barbarie, equivale a reclamar una parte del ternero y oponerse a sacrificarlo"
Bertolt Brecht
"To be against fascism without being against capitalism, to rebel against the barbarism that is born of barbarism, is equivalent to claiming a part of the calf and opposing its slaughter"
Bertolt Brecht
If you vote and you elect dishonest, incompetent people into office who screw everything up, you are responsible for what they have done. You caused the problem; you voted them in; you have no right to complain
- George Carlin
The only thing “free” about so-called free time is that it doesn’t cost the boss anything. Free time is mostly devoted to getting ready for work, going to work, returning from work, and recovering from work. Free time is a euphemism for the peculiar way labor, as a factor of production, not only transports itself at its own expense to and from the workplace, but assumes primary responsibility for its own maintenance and repair.

MLK: The reality of capitalism...
Let’s pretend for a moment that work doesn’t turn people into stultified submissives. Let’s pretend, in defiance of any plausible psychology and the ideology of its boosters, that it has no effect on the formation of character. And let’s pretend that work isn’t as boring and tiring and humiliating as we all know it really is. Even then, work would still make a mockery of all humanistic and democratic aspirations, just because it usurps so much of our time. Socrates said that manual laborers make bad friends and bad citizens because they have no time to fulfill the responsibilities of friendship and citizenship. He was right. Because of work, no matter what we do, we keep looking at our watches.
