It's easy enough to talk about equality, but much harder to put into practice. In my books, the only way to be sure about this is to go further than necessary. You do not own anything, you merely make us of it. Be humble, and if someone else desires what you have, give it to them. Hopefully they will appreciate the kindness, and maybe in time they will learn to do the same. Perhaps you might even learn something: very often we are wrong about what we actually need to be happy. To be respectful to those that you respect is simple; to do the same to those that you do not can be extremely difficult. But this is the most important thing that you can do. By showing kindness, humanity and compassion, even to those who may not 'deserve' it, you show that we are more than selfish animals, and that anarchism is a viable cause. People often respond well to such behaviour, and with time it might even become habitual, for them and for you.

We walk slowly to where We are meant to be, taking care not to cause any offence. For half an hour we make some noise, then it is time to go home again. Maybe this works when people are truly angry, but now, in the sleeper state? No. We need more than State sanctioned passive protest. We need spontaneous, raw and emotional outbursts. Something to make people stop and think. Something that is not so easy to ignore. We need action.
