� ���"Whole sections of the working class who have been plundered of all they really need are being compensated, in part, by cheap luxuries which mitigate the surface of life.� �� �
Make no mistake about it. Those with vested interests in the status quo� ��"the systemic oppression and exploitation of humans, nonhuman animals, and the Earth alike� ��" are fiercely determined, ruthless, heavily armed, technologically endowed, and highly skilled at manipulating the people. Our culture of domination will not � ���"go gently into that good night.� �� � Flower power, granola, and vegan potlucks will not even give the juggernaut of industrial capitalism pause. In conjunction with our personal evolution and the education of others, anti-capitalists and liberationists of all stripes must come together to form a culture of resistance, employing as many tactics as we can imagine with as much intensity and power as we can muster. They � ���"leave all options on the table,� �� � so why wouldn't we?
As my best friend in the world would say, � ���"We better get our minds right"� �� �
And once enough of us do, resistance will no longer seem futile.
