What we want isn't radical, it's common sense human rights. It's just that the denial of those common sense human rights in the permitted stages of political theater leads to us pursuing radical solutions.

If you didn't want to end up a pretty bit of paintwork on the wall you should've allowed us a democratic workplace alongside a democratic government and chose to join us on the working line instead of insisting on keeping our wealth through illegitimate power.
