Get it straight. I'm not a humanitarian. I'm a hellraiser!
Sit down and read. Educate yourself for the coming conflicts.
I will teach you

The only way for a worker to get a fair shake is to fight, fight and keep on fighting.
I live in the United States, but I do not know exactly where. My address is like my shoes. It travels with me. I abide where there is a fight against wrong.

Pray for the dead
and fight like hell for the living.

We hope to make it a civilization of justice and love.
