Quote from the Underground
“Suppose that, instead of waiting for the whole world to change so we can live as we would like, we remake spaces where we can live that way now. Think of the game of Go, Unlike chess, where you confront and defeat your enemy, in Go you win by taking over spaces. You simply surround territory and make it yours. Instead of asking someone in power for policy changes or the right job, why not take over streets for bikes and parks, build our own cooperatives, create cultural events that nurture our souls and community spirit, build our own homes? Why not live the lives we want, along with others, without waiting for permission from the authorities?”
