Ursula K. LeGuin wrote, “We live in capitalism, its power seems inescapable – but then, so did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art.”

It's interesting how so many quotes of her words leave out those last two sentences, which I think are the most powerful of the entire quote. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings.

And yes, art (including the written word) indeed plays a role in this resistance and change, but it cannot be the only step taken. We must push forward to resist in all avenues of life. To topple the capitalism empire for good and replace it with a society for the people and run by the people in mutual aid and library economies.
