"Become an internationalist and learn to respect all life. Make war on machines. And in particular the sterile machines of corporate death and the robots that guard them"

In this quote, activist Abbie Hoffman urges people to become internationalists, meaning to have a worldwide point of view and to value all types of life. He encourages people to turn down the concept of war and violence, specifically against devices. He describes corporations as "sterilized devices of death" and their employees as "robotics" who blindly follow their orders. Hoffman thinks that these devices and corporations are a threat to humankind and need to be resisted. He requires a shift in state of mind, where individuals prioritize the conservation of life and turn down the harmful nature of makers and corporations. This quote functions as a call to action for individuals to withstand oppressive systems and to value the sanctity of all life.
