--- Howard Zinn.. You Can't Be Neutral on a Moving Train: A Personal History of Our Times

“I was astonished.. bewildered. This was America.. a country where.. whatever its faults.. people could speak.. write.. assemble.. demonstrate without fear. It was in the Constitution.. the Bill of Rights. We were a democracy...
But I knew it wasn't a dream; there was a painful lump on the side of my head...
-The state and its police were not neutral referees in a society of contending interests. They were on the side of the rich and powerful. Free speech? Try it and the police will be there with their horses.. their clubs.. their guns.. to stop you.-
From that moment on.. I was no longer a liberal.. a believer in the self-correcting character of American democracy. I was a radical.. believing that something fundamental was wrong in this country--not just the existence of poverty amidst great wealth.. not just the horrible treatment of black people.. but something rotten at the root. The situation required not just a new president or new laws.. but an uprooting of the old order.. the introduction of a new kind of society--cooperative.. peaceful.. egalitarian.” 

12..:
--- Jay-Z

“Rosa Parks sat so Martin Luther King could walk. Martin Luther King walked so Obama could run. Obama's running so we all can fly.” 

13..:
--- Ta-Nehisi Coates.. Between the World and Me

“You may have heard the talk of diversity.. sensitivity training.. and body cameras. These are all fine and applicable.. but they understate the task and allow the citizens of this country to pretend that there is real distance between their own attitudes and those of the ones appointed to protect them. The truth is that the police reflect America in all of its will and fear.. and whatever we might make of this country’s criminal justice policy.. it cannot be said that it was imposed by a repressive minority.
The abuses that have followed from these policies—the sprawling carceral state.. the random detention of black people.. the torture of suspects—are the product of democratic will. And so to challenge the police is to challenge the American people who send them into the ghettos armed with the same self-generated fears that compelled the people who think they are white to flee the cities and into the Dream. The problem with the police is not that they are fascist pigs but that our country is ruled by majoritarian pigs.” 

14..:
--- Naomi Wolf.. The End of America: Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot

“Here's what we're not taught (about the Declaration and Constitution).. Those words at the time they were written were blazingly.. electrifyingly subversive. If you understand them truly now.. they still are. You are not taught - and it is a disgrace that you aren't - that these men and women were radicals for liberty; that they had a vision of equality that was a slap in the face of what the rest of their world understood to be the unchanging.. God-given order of nations; and that they were willing to die to make that desperate vision into a reality for people like us.. whom they would never live to see. ” 

15..:
--- Luis Valdez

“No Statue of Liberty ever greeted our arrival in this country...we did not.. in fact.. come to the United States at all. The United States came to us.” 

16..:
--- Herbert Hoover

“My country owes me nothing. It gave me.. as it gives every boy and girl.. a chance. It gave me schooling.. independence of action.. opportunity for service and honor.”

“Trump’s America is not America: not today’s or tomorrow’s.. but yesterday’s.
Trump’s America is brutal.. perverse.. regressive.. insular and afraid. There is no hope in it; there is no light in it. It is a vast expanse of darkness and desolation.
And that is a vision of America that most of the people in this country cannot and will not abide.” 

20..:
--- Naomi Klein

“In Venezuela Chavez has made the co-ops a top political priority.. giving them first refusal on government contracts and offering them economic incentives to trade with one another. By 2006.. there were roughly 100..000 co-operatives in the country.. employing more than 700..000 workers. Many are pieces of state infrastructure – toll booths.. highway maintenance.. health clinics – handed over to the communities to run. It’s a reverse of the logic of government outsourcing – rather than auctioning off pieces of the state to large corporations and losing democratic control.. the people who use the resources are given the power to manage them.. creating.. at least in theory.. both jobs and more responsive public services.
Chavez’s many critics have derided these initiatives as handouts and unfair subsidies.. of course. Yet in an era when Halliburton treats the U.S. government as its personal ATM for six years.. withdraws upward of $20 billion in Iraq contracts alone.. refuses to hire local workers either on the Gulf coast or in Iraq.. then expresses its gratitude to U.S. taxpayers by moving its corporate headquarters to Dubai (with all the attendant tax and legal benefits).. Chavez’s direct subsidies to regular people look significantly less radical.”
