Monbiot: We're in for a fight

We must confront injustice with the fight of its life until we defeat it. Anything less is surrender. As quoted in this article:

"We should defend the poor against the rich, the powerless against the powerful, the defenceless against the armed. We should defend the biosphere that gives us life: both because it is wonderful and because those of us who possess agency (who are alive today and have money) have no right to deprive others (who are not yet born or who are poor) of their means of survival. We must treat other people as we would wish to be treated ourselves. None of these aims can be passively achieved. All involve confrontation."
