Le pouvoir: A prendre ou à Garder (Power: to take or to keep)

In front of that of the state, terrorism provides another legitimization of murder. Its basic axiom: the individual does not exist in front of the wonderful hope of singing tommorows. Terrorism is an exchange of signs of power between people who hold power and those who want to take it on behalf of the masses. And state terrorism as well as “progressive” terrorisme slashes  into the masses with a knife with which it ultimately has the greatest contempt.

The emancipation of the printers will be the work of the printers themselves (etc. ..)
