The Middle of the Beast
You Americans are very lucky. You live in the middle of the beast.
You are fighting the most important fight of all, in the center of the battle.
If I had my wish, I would go back with you to North America to fight there.
I envy you.
—Ernesto "Che" Guevara referring to the importance of metropolitan resistance, cited in J. Rubin’s Do It!)
