    I never liked this quote.

    The plantation master’s gun shoots bullets as good as any other gun. Sure as hell seems like I can use his tools against him lol

      I think the point is that you can’t dismantle the system with only the tools the system tells you to use.

        That’s probably right, but it sure implies the system’s tools of oppression can’t be seized and used against our oppressors. Comes across as very anarchist.
