I agree with Mike. In the struggle to remain/return to/become/ free, it will fall upon each individual to retain their humanity. Unfortunately, during the struggle, it will become neccessary to be inhuman, to win. Once that is past, we go back to being civilized. It is a specific oxymoron that in order for humans to remain complete humans,ie: totally free, they must at times resort to being savages, because there are savages among us that will not cease to enslave us until they are all dead. A contradiction, to be sure, but it has always been so. There will be no freedom, without blood.
