All power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. We want structures that serve people, not people serving structures. The revolution doesn't belong to the committees, it's yours. Politics is in the streets.
Barricades close the streets but open the way.
Our hope can come only from the hopeless. A proletarian is someone who has no power over his life and knows it. People who work get bored when they don't work. People who don't work never get bored. Since 1936 I have fought for wage increases.
