"Above all, there was a belief in the revolution and the future, a feeling of having suddenly emerged into an era of equality and freedom. Human beings were trying to behave as human beings and not as cogs in the capitalist machine."

— George Orwell, Homage to Catalonia (via antisocial-socialist)

If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next - Manic Street Preachers

Written about the Spanish Civil War, it seems to me that this song is also a general warning to us. We should challenge injustice wherever we see it, because if we tolerate it, then our children will be next.

Trivia: Apparently “If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next” is the longest song title without punctuation.
