Naomi Klein : The other reason to remember this history of struggle is that it tells us something very important, something that we need to remember at this moment, when so much is at stake. It teaches us that if we want responses to this economic crises that leave us with a world that is healthier, is more just, that is more peaceful, we are going to have to go out there and make them do it.
