Posted @withregram • @subversive.thread Love doesn’t mean the absence of conflict. Sometimes love means tearing down everything we thought to be true because we are dedicated to building a world where liberation triumphs over oppression. Sometimes love means resistance by any means necessary.✨“I am more and more convinced that true revolutionaries must perceive the revolution… as an act of love.” ― Paulo Freire✨“Love is profoundly political. Our deepest revolution will come when we understand this truth. Only love can give us the strength to go forward in the midst of heartbreak and misery. Only love can give us the power to reconcile, to redeem, the power to renew weary spirits and save lost souls. The transformative power of love is the foundation of all meaningful social change. Without love our lives are without meaning. Love is the heart of the matter. When all else has fallen away, love sustains.” ― bell hooks✨“What is needed is a realization that power without love is reckless and abusive and that love without power is sentimental an anemic. Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice.” ― Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.✨[Image Description: Graphic features a flower in the background overlaid with a caption that reads “Revolutionary Love: 1. deep affinity for liberation struggles worldwide; a commitment to ending oppression by any means necessary. 2. can be practiced as education, mutual aid, relationship building, carework, self-defense, armed resistance, international solidarity, or however your mind or body is able.
