If we are ever to destroy capital in every stripe, we must be prepared to fight it. We are going to inherit the earth. There is not the slightest doubt about that. The bourgeoisie might blast and ruin its own world before it leaves that stage of history, but we carry a new world in our hearts. That world is growing in this minute.
Human life is, indeed sacred and inviolate.
But the killing of a tyrant, of an enemy of the People, is in no way to be considered as the taking of a life. A revolutionist would rather perish a thousand times than be guilty of what is ordinarily called murder. In truth, murder and Attentat are to me opposite terms. To remove a tyrant is an act of liberation, the giving of life and opportunity to an oppressed people. If the latter demand his life, so much the better.
