Q: You've been organizing for social change your whole life. How do you deal with a future that feels so bleak? Mike Davis: For someone my age who was in the civil rights movement, and in other struggles of the 1960s, I've seen miracles happen. I've seen ordinary people do the most heroic things. When you've had the privilege of knowing so many great fighters and resisters, you can't lay down the sword, even if things seem objectively hopeless. I've always been influenced by the poems Brecht wrote in the late 30s, during the second world war, after everything had been incinerated, all the dreams and values of an entire generation destroyed, and Brecht said, well, it's a new dark ages ... how do people resist in the dark ages? What keeps us going, ultimately, is our love for each other, and our refusal to bow our heads, to accept the verdict, however all-powerful it seems. It's what ordinary people have to do. You have to love each other. You have to defend each other. You have to fight.

Jane devoted her life to collective action, but she never forgot that collectives are composed of people, and every person is a world unto themselves.

Exactly right and should be common knowledge by now.
