Quotes
- “When you live in a capitalistic society, the currency of the dissemination of information goes through capitalistic channels. Would Noam Chomsky object to his works being sold at Barnes & Noble? No, because that's where people buy their books. We're not interested in preaching to just the converted. It's great to play abandoned squats run by anarchists, but it's also great to be able to reach people with a revolutionary message, people from Granada Hills to Stuttgart.”
- “One does not have to be an honours grad in political science from Harvard University to recognise the unethical and inhumane nature of this administration but well, I happen to be an honours grad in political science from Harvard University, so I can confirm that for you”
- “It'll start with a spark, and a great fire will grow.”
- “In my nightmares the streets are aflame, and in my dreams it's much the same.”
- “Sacrifice and neon lights slave ships don't wait. Love many, trust few, and don't be late”
- “Yeah, I support my troopsThey wave black flagsThey wear black masksAll the roads are closedSmoke is rising from the fieldsThe monsters left their cagesAn angel set them free.”
