This tweet sent out 14 hours BEFORE the crash needs to be immortalized in stone.

Or maybe currency.

We have to stand firm. Don't give an inch.

Pick fights. Fight elites. Don't give in.

The left needs to stand its ground to survive - and to win
History shows us that giving ground to your opponents doesn't work: you need to stand firm, however difficult the circumstances
