    insert Adam Curtis speech about how liberals are afraid of power

    Power is a dirty word to libs, they’re brainwashed by endless children’s movies about how power is bad and must be destroyed.

    But yeah, you can’t attain victory without power. The idea that capitalists will just let us win without us forcing them to us just childish and naive.

    You need power to do anything. That’s the whole point of the left organising, to make people realise that there is power and strength in community and that there are more of us than of the ruling class.

    All rights that women gained were won violently.

    All rights slaves gained were won violently.

    All rights poc won were won violently.

    The defeat of Nazis Germany in WW2 was won violently.

    Even the right to have your weekend off was won violently.
