The concept of constant struggle holds strong as definitive measure among a range of anarchists.

This isn't intended to present a binary either, as of course there can be a range of ways we may attack our enemies that make sense in our situation.

“The world still sings. But the warnings are wise. We have lost much, and we’re risking much more. Some risks, we see coming. But there are also certainties hurtling our way that we fail to notice. The dinosaurs failed to anticipate the meteoroid that extinguished them. But dinosaurs didn’t create their own calamity. Many others don’t deserve the calamity that we’re creating.” - Carl Safina, The View From Lazy Point[1]
