“Remember to imagine and craft the worlds you cannot live without, just as you dismantle the ones you cannot live within.”
― Ruha Benjamin

“In the name of patriotism you are ordered to stop being decent and honest, to cease being yourself, to suspend your own judgment, and give up your life; to become a will-less cog in a murderous machine, blindly obeying the order to kill, pillage, and destroy; to give up your father and mother, wife and child, and all that you love, and proceed to slaughter your fellow-men who never did you any harm — who are just as unfortunate and deluded victims of their masters as you are of yours.”
― Alexander Berkman, The ABC of Anarchism

“Abolition is not simply about getting rid of the prisons, police or systems of surveillance and punishment; it is about what we build in their place.”
― Sarah Lamble, Abolishing the Police

“Antiracism entails two fundamental tasks: first, diminishing racialization’s ability to facilitate domination, which involves deflating identarian (racist and antiracist) modes of analysis, and, second, displacing exploitation as the basis of political economy, which involves highlighting alternative idioms by which political economy is imagined.”
― Jonathan Tran, Asian Americans and the Spirit of Racial Capitalism
