It truly is difficult not to hate....I think though that the essential point is that it all begins with the love of self....self-love in the true sense of it encompasses love of humanity and a universal love. Love doesnt mean disspassionate, and I think that one thing that definitely must be made clear is that Love also means speaking truth to power.

forgive me if im wrong, but isnt this quote from Che Guevara. "At the risk of sounding ridiculous, let me say that the true revolutionary is guided by feelings of love."

It definitely is from Che and one of his most famous quotes too. But its all good as revolutionaries vibe off of each other. Che is also known for saying "Let's be realistic, let's do the impossible".

Here is one from Assata.

"Although we live in one of the richest, most technologically advanced countries in the world, our reality is similar to an undeveloped Third World country. We are a people who are truly seeking freedom and harmony. Peace is a rare gift. Peace of mind, peaceful sleeps, and peaceful spirits are all luxuries that FEW rebels can EVER afford." - Assata Shakur

This is a quote worth having a discussion over. The next one, is a quote from Cynthia McKinney.

"What I am recommending is the creation of a political movement inside my country that will constitute a surgical strike for global justice" - Cynthia McKinney Dec 2008

This is also worth having a discussion over.
