His words say that there is but one race, the human race, which deserves respect and should be defended. Throughout history people have fought for a better world, such as the slaves in ancient times or the revolutionaries of 1789, the World War II Resistance members – and the oppressed have always won. He says that consumer society tends to isolate, to shut people into a cold, mechanical, impersonal, dehumanised world with short-term interests. But we should be thinking more of sharing, of brotherhood and the freedom to create for the future.

Resistance is choosing to live, preserving life, with no possiblity of going back. By resisting, we create a better society.

La lutte continue, et les opprimés vaincront.
