    A very long time. But that didn’t stop progress in the past, and it is not an insurmountable obstacle. Giving up and conceding that they won is exactly what they want you to do. They want you to learn helplessness because then you won’t try to fight back.

      On the contrary, conceding that they won is not my point at all. I’m not even conceding that we have to play by their rules.

      Yeah, I vote when the opportunity comes along, but I don’t expect it to accomplish anything substantial. Real change will happen when we get organized enough to actually threaten the ruling class.
