Additional quotes by Luisa Capeta

The religious institutions have helped to foster these privileges and class divisions. If workers in general, by educating themselves, are not able to destroy the privileges of caste, race, hierarchy, and untold nonsense that harm us as human beings, then revolution will do it. Many fear revolution, but there is nothing like being part of revolution to get rid of that fear. Things seen from afar have a different effect on us. Up close, one can touch them and the effects of distance and of evaluation disappear.

All those who support and continue exploiting others, are the ones who sustain the state of misery of the people and therefore are the ones who maintain jails, penitentiaries, or better yet, the ones who create thieves, murderers, the insane, religious and political fanatics. Because if it were not for the fear of misery, there would be no political or religious fanatics. The fear of misery, or misery itself makes one commit crude acts that degenerate into crimes, injustices, and madness, which is why we have jails and mental institutions, inequalities and injustices. The Social Revolution will make these iniquities disappear. And the revolution will rise up through propaganda and study and scientific research. And we anarchists are the ones who propagandize and an education is within the reach of all. Let us study and prepare our generation for the future struggles that draw closer.
