Men were not created in order to obey laws. Laws are created to obey men. They are established by men and should serve men. The laws and rules which officials inflict upon poor people prevent them from functioning harmoniously in society.

Rewriting unjust laws is a basic human right and fundamental obligation.

When reactionary forces crush us, we must move against these forces, even at the risk of death.

I have no doubt that the revolution will triumph. The people of the world will prevail, seize power, seize the means of production, wipe out racism, capitalism.
