"Revolution is not an activity for whiners, for individuals too caught up in their complaints to rebel. Revolution is not something we decide to take on to impress anyone, except our Ancestors and children. Revolution is not a hobby or avocation. It's not a game. Revolution is not televised or broadcast from a soapbox or podium. Revolution is not a walk-in, sit-in, stand-in or lay-in. Revolution is not reform. Revolutionaries do not waste their time trying to recast or remake an incorrigible evil in a kinder, gentler image. Revolution is not the work of adult children trained in the art of quitting at the first sign of difficulty. Revolution is not an option for subintegrationists lost in the glory and bedrooms of our eternal enemy. Revolution is not an ongoing debate. Given our historical situation, revolution is a naturally occurring phenomenon. And revolutionaries are the people we naturally become as we uncover the seriousness of the war against us and decide that this torment will be no more."
