“But that is who we are,
that is where we come from.
We are the offspring
of metropolitan annihilation
and destruction,
of the war of all against all,
of the conflict of each individual
with every other individual,
of a system governed by fear,
of the compulsion to produce,
of the profit of one to
the detriment of others,
of the division of people into men
and women, young and old,
sick and healthy,
foreigners and Germans,
and of the struggle for prestige.

Where do we come from?
From isolation in individual row-houses,
from the suburban concrete cities,
from prison cells,
from the asylums and special units,
from media brainwashing,
from consumerism,
from corporal punishment,
from the ideology of nonviolence,
from depression,
from illness,
from degradation,
from humiliation,
from the debasement
of human beings,
from all the people
exploited
by imperialism.”
