class conflict
Interesting choice of words, especially in relation to the later section on communism. Notice the absence of any discussion of majority/group power beyond simple numerical power.

Yet they also teach that it is all but impossible for any actual, living man to attain genuine wisdom.

A bad government may deny or ignore natural rights and even prevent their exercise in the real world. But it can never negate or eliminate them.

Violence Will Only Hurt the Trump Resistance
Does cooperation with the police to avoid protests from becoming violent weaken the power of social movements? Explain.
Defenders of black bloc tactics, which also include rioting and “Nazi-punching,” argue that these actions are necessary and legitimate against powerful opponents. They believe such tactics help to protect nonviolent activists—particularly those from marginalized communities—from militarized police.
But they also believe that appeals for nonviolent action are for the privileged and the sell-outs.
Nonviolent action seems to disturb people without alienating them
The FBI did this during the Civil Rights movement, and more recently, during Occupy.Repeated efforts to plant agents provocateurs who endorse violent flanks should send a clear signal: The authorities want movements to play the game the state knows best.

I finally want to express how much easier both my waking and my sleeping hours would be if there were one book in existence that would tell me something specific about my life. One book based in Black feminist and Black lesbian experience, fiction or non-fiction. Just one work to reflect the reality that I and the Black women whom I love are trying to create. When such a book exists then each of us will not only know better how to live, but how to dream.
