Present Time, January 2022
No. 206 (Vol. 54, No. 1)
An oppressive society depends on you not fighting for yourself. It counts on you taking more and more mistreatment, poverty, and unawareness, without standing up against them. That's how oppressive societies stay in place. We need to learn how not to let that happen. In particular, you need to learn to fight for yourself. There are thousands of good issues: related to you personally, about your family, your neighborhood, your people, about the world - there's no shortage of issues. It's important that you are able to take a stand in opposition - and doing so simply for yourself is a good place to start.
