Lives up to the hype! I loved this - funny, sprawling, ambitious - all the things people say are true. One of the best yarns I've read in a while.

“Some of us, white and black, know how great a price has already been paid to bring into existence a new consciousness, a new people, an unprecedented nation. If we know, and do nothing, we are worse than the murderers hired in our name.
If we know, then we must fight for your life as though it were our own - which it is - and render impassable with our bodies the corridor to the gas chamber. For, if they take you in the morning, they will be coming for us that night.”

You Change.
All that you Change
Changes you.
The only lasting truth
is Change.
God

“Ending poverty" sounds good, and so does "raising wages" - these are safe sound bites. They simply ignore the actual history of how any meaningful progress has been won in America or anywhere else - victories that required organization and power.... Mandela didn't change South Africa by being nice, despite the whitewashing of his story after his death. Mandela embraced armed struggle: his analysis of the power context of apartheid demanded it. Each power analysis is contextual, and no, please don't interpret that statement as a suggestion that armed struggle will work here. In the American progressive movement, including unions, there's virtually no discussion of power, the power required per fight, or the relationship between power and strategy.”
