The most ignorant sort of American exceptionalism, is thinking that America is uniquely sedated and impossible to organize.

Within my lifetime, this country has been the touching-off point of at least two, maybe three global movements. Many people from other countries have expressed to me some disbelief or amazement that American protesters face the guns, car attacks, and other dangers that come with protesting here. This is the country that invented the sit-down strike. Before anarcho-syndicalism had a name in Europe, it was called the Chicago Idea.

America is not unorganizable. Defeatism is a self-fulfilling prophecy.
