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.

Additional quotes by Luisa Capeta

En vez de ir á oir misa, visitas los pobres y socórrelos, que podrás hacerlo: en vez de confesarte y comulgar, visita los presos, y llévales consuelos, algo que los instruya. No olvides que los abundan en cárceles y presidios son los pobres y los ignorantes, las víctimas de siempre de todas las explotaciones.
