How many of you are there?

     A few more than the original
     guerrilla nucleus in the
     Sierra Madre, but with fewer
     weapons. A few less than the
     delegates in London in 1864
     who founded the
     International Workingmen’s
     Association, but with a more
     coherent program. As
     unyielding as the Greeks at
     Thermopylae (“Passerby, go
      tell them at Lacedaemon ...”),
      but with a brighter future.

                ---SITUATIONIST INTERNATIONAL, 1964
