"There is much talk about labor protection laws. Yet everybody knows that these laws usually pass only when the people force them, which is to say when there is no need for them. And if a few times they have passed before the workers were strong enough to demand them, it was merely to silence the opposition, divert public attention away from the political mess behind the scenes, and make them think that the government looks out for the people’s interests: and rest assured that they are then left unenforced. As evidence the Italian law on child labor. In England itself, where labor protection laws were extracted from the bourgeoisie by force, often extremely violent, of organized workers, they are not really enforced other than for those trades that stand ever-ready to fight to defend themselves." - Malatesta, "Electoral struggle and direct struggle"

That the Police are indiscreet, vexatious, evil and, when it happens, even brutal, is something that we understand: it is the profession that wants it. They have always been and will always be like that, in any regime: and therefore we must fight for their radical abolition and not for their reform.

“Per noi non vi sono stranieri. Noi vogliamo che tutti gli uomini, qualunque sia il loro luogo di nascita, qualunque sia il ceppo etnico da cui derivano, qualunque la lingua che parlano, si considerino come fratelli e si aggruppino liberamente e cooperino insieme per il maggiore benessere, la maggiore libertà, la maggiore civiltà di tutti. Se di stranieri vuol parlarsi, allora per noi lo straniero non è colui che è nato al di là di una frontiera e parla una lingua diversa, o ha la pelle di diverso colore; lo straniero, il nemico, è l’oppressore, è lo sfruttatore, è chiunque, in qualunque paese, sottomette a sé un altr’uomo.”

Errico Malatesta (4 dicembre 1853, Santa Maria Capua Vetere – 22 luglio 1932, Roma)

“Se voi avete il diritto di dividere il mondo in italiani e stranieri allora io reclamo il diritto di dividere il mondo in diseredati e oppressi da un lato, privilegiati e oppressori dall’altro. Gli uni sono la mia patria, gli altri i miei stranieri.”

Don Lorenzo Milani (Firenze, 27 maggio 1923 – Firenze, 26 giugno 1967)

Pointing out Biden's bullshit doesn't mean "Vote for the republican" it means "Do something politically other than spend 5 minutes at a fucking booth"

Fuck the Republicans, they are worse, but voting for the lesser evil keeps us in this fucking system loop. Use the time we have under a lesser evil to be an activist. Work towards the breaking of this loop, this endless fucking cycle. Break the clock.
