The one truth that sustains me is that they haven't won. However frustrated you feel, be comforted with the fact that the other side, the fascists and imperialists and capitalists, are also frustrated. Unfortunately, the world's states are in their pockets, but the world's people are not. Not all of them.
Find comfort in the fact that, all over the world, there are people who affirm the same views you hold; people with the same disdain for the old way, the barbaric way. We are out there

One person usually can't do anything. That is why we join/form organizations so that we can build power.
