In 63 years on this earth, I have learned one thing: no matter what anyone tells you, it is always possible to resist oppression. I don't care if you are in the foulest pit, being tortured or treated like a dog, you can still fight back in one form of another. AS AN INDIVIDUAL, you cannot defeat the enemy wholesale, but as part of a struggle of poor people all over the world, anything is possible.
