About the Book

The purpose of THIS book is to give the youth today a ground floor glimpse of some of the struggle and protest that happened in the past. I've tried to make this story lively, hands on and down to earth-so that maybe some young people today can get some ideas of how to organize people and themselves on a grass roots level to deal with the heartless killers and confidence men that run society today. Just HOW we should all organize ourselves now is a tricky question now that the communist regimes have long since been defeated or turned back into some form of state capitalist dictatorship. There is no new blueprint for human liberation that is very well worked out. Nevertheless, those of us who work for a living or are trying to get a job or make a decent life have got to form collectives; to patiently and thoughtfully collaborate and develop a strategy to take this society into an egalitarian direction. We have to try, against difficult odds to initiate a new movement that interests and engages the coming generations in struggling for human liberation. This way OUR descendants can say, "The ones who went before us fought so that we could have a better life." Hopefully, if we keep at it, new ways of waging class war and new ways of organizing egalitarian movements and societies will emerge.
