Malcolm X said, "As long as we agree on objectives, we should never fall out with each other just because we believe in different methods or tactics or strategy to reach a common goal." There is a great variety of ideas about resistance demonstrated in the pages you're about to read. Some could be placed on a continuum of violence, that laziest of ways we've been taught to evaluate political resistance in our oversimplified history classes. To be clear, a poem or short story is never telling you, the reader, what action you must take. It's a work of art encouraging you to consider ideas, to weigh your moral obligations in the context of our historical circumstances, and to feel, in your heart and in your bones, the way you respond to concepts. Beyond the reductive spectrum of violence, these artists encourage you to consider how you feel about power relationships and the effects of the exercise of power on the least powerful among us, whether they are the trans person living in your apartment building or the Palestinians being rhetorically sacrificed to genocide at the family Seder. This volume is composed of works united by a shared commitment to combat fascism through art, but it's also a beautiful demonstration of the concept of diversity of tactics to achieve that shared goal.
