"As a socialist and an alert Black woman, it is clear to me that it is not possible to achieve justice, especially economic justice, and equality under capitalism because capitalism was never designed for that to be the case...The assaults from the present system necessitate that most activists work for reforms, but those of us who are radicals understand that it is possible to do so at the very same time that we work for fundamental change--a revolution." Barbara Smith, a founding member of the Combaheee River Collective...as quoted in Freedom Dreams by Robin D. G. Kelly.
