"No person of understanding or humanity will too quickly condemn the violence that often occurs, when long subdued masses rise against their oppressors or take their first steps toward liberty and social reconstruction."
This powerful statement holds great significance. It emphasizes that those who are truly understanding and have a sense of humanity should not be hasty in passing judgment on the violence that sometimes erupts when the oppressed masses finally decide to rise up. These are the moments when they are breaking free from the chains of oppression and embarking on the path towards liberty and social reconstruction. It is a complex and often tumultuous process, but it is a necessary one for the betterment of society.
Yes, I am now an anarchist, and what about it? Being an anarchist means believing in a society without hierarchical authority and coercion. It is about envisioning a world where individuals are free to govern themselves and make decisions based on mutual respect and cooperation. While some may view anarchism as radical or extreme, I see it as a legitimate and necessary alternative to the current systems that often fail to meet the needs and rights of the people.
