The greatest form of madness is to accept this world as it is and not to fight for a world as it should be

As if what is legal is good by definition. As if the law should represent the limit of thought

It is often claimed that the left side stands for equality, while the right side would defend freedom. But this view misunderstands the distinction between left and right. Conservatives have always advocated the freedom of the higher social strata and the restriction of freedom of the lower social strata.

To be rendered powerless does not destroy your humanity. Your resilience is your humanity. The only people who lose their humanity are those who believe they have the right to render another human being powerless. They are the weak. To yield and not break, that is incredible strength.

“How do you get your dinner? That is the basic question of economics. When economist and philosopher Adam Smith proclaimed that all our actions were motivated by self-interest, he used the example of the baker and the butcher as he laid the foundations for 'economic man.' He argued that the baker and butcher didn't give bread and meat out of the goodness of their hearts. It's an ironic point of view coming from a bachelor who lived with his mother for most of his life — a woman who cooked his dinner every night. Nevertheless, the economic man has dominated our understanding of modern-day capitalism, with a focus on self-interest and the exclusion of all other motivations. Such a view point disregards the unpaid work of mothering, caring, cleaning and cooking. It insists that if women are paid less, then that's because their labor is worth less. Economics has told us a story about how the world works and we have swallowed it, hook, line and sinker. This story has not served women well. Now it's time to change it.”

“We won’t shut up, we are your bad conscience”

Sophie Scholl was a founding member of the White Rose, a German non-violent anti-Nazi group. They were students at the University of Munich, who wrote and distributed anti-Nazi leaflets. In 1943 she and other members were found guilty of treason and condemned to death. Her last words were “Such a fine, sunny day, and I have to go... What does my death matter, if through us, thousands of people are awakened and stirred to action?”

Somehow in this modern era of ours, we have convinced each other that Jesus Christ was some kind of respectable man, a figure of solemn authority. But the cops and judges didn’t crucify Jesus for being respectable. They crucified him because he was an outlaw, a revolutionary. They crucified Jesus because they were afraid he was gonna take power away from them and give it to the poor. My friends, we’re living in biblical times again. There is a holy war in this country. The rich versus the poor. It’s the same war Jesus himself was in.

I, Too

I, too, sing America.

I am the darker brother. They send me to eat in the kitchen When company comes, But I laugh, And eat well, And grow strong.

Tomorrow, I'll be at the table When company comes. Nobody'll dare Say to me, “Eat in the kitchen,” Then.

Besides, They'll see how beautiful I am And be ashamed—

I, too, am America.
