"Karl Marx said, â€œThe task is not just to understand the world but to change it.â€ A variant to keep in mind is that if you want to change the world youâ€™d better try to understand it. That doesnâ€™t mean listening to a talk or reading a book, though thatâ€™s helpful sometimes. You learn from participating. You learn from others. You learn from the people youâ€™re trying to organize. We all have to gain the understanding and the experience to formulate and implement ideas."

-- Noam Chomsky
