Rebellion is always valuable, even in the best of societies, to keep everybody sharp. It should be alive and present against anything smacking of being an imposed reality. Today, in a totally fucked up world, where tyranny is virtually anywhere it is crucial, beyond necessary. There is no country on Earth today where freedom reigns, but only tiny pockets of it here and there, and in people’s dreams and longings.
Good stuff. To quote Percy Bysshe Shelley,
From The Masque of Anarchy:
Rise, like lions after slumber,
In unvanquishable NUMBER!
Shake your chains to earth, like dew
Which in sleep had fall'n on you
YE ARE THE MANY - THEY ARE THE FEW.
Forever a great quote.
