“Demoralize the enemy from within by surprise, terror, sabotage, assassination. This is the war of the future.”

“Terrorism" is a word with little content - it is a label for brutalities committed by "the enemy", and from which one's own acts of destruction are exempted. It is an inchoate and emotionally laden concept, a semantic mirror of our dishonesty and a repository for everything about war that we would like to disavow. Making a sharp distinction between war and terrorism is at best a self-deceptive game.”

“Terrorism is the war of the poor, and war is the terrorism of the rich.”

“How can you have a war on terrorism when war itself is terrorism?”

“The concept of progress acts as a protective mechanism to shield us from the terrors of the future.”

“Neoliberal democracy. Instead of citizens, it produces consumers. Instead of communities, it produces shopping malls. The net result is an atomized society of disengaged individuals who feel demoralized and socially powerless.In sum, neoliberalism is the immediate and foremost enemy of genuine participatory democracy, not just in the United States but across the planet, and will be for the foreseeable future.”
