Our strategy should be not only to
confront empire, but to lay siege to it. To deprive it of oxygen. To
shame it. To mock it. With our art, our music, our literature, our
stubbornness, our joy, our brilliance, our sheer relentlessness : and
our ability to tell our own stories. Stories that are different from the
ones we're being brainwashed to believe. The corporate revolution will collapse
if we refuse to buy what they are selling : their ideas, their version
of history, their wars, their weapons, their notion of inevitability.Remember this: We be many and they be few. They need us more than we need them. Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing.
