'Let us rise!' - the idea for this title came from a quote from Max Stirner, one of the literary fathers of anarchism in the 1800's. The quote is from his book 'The Ego and His Own'; the full quote is ' the great are great only because we are on our knees, let us rise!'.
Max Stirner- Johann Kaspar Schmidt (October 25, 1806 – June 26, 1856), better known as Max Stirner was a German philosopher, who ranks as one of the literary fathers of nihilism, existentialism, post-modernism and anarchism, especially of individualist anarchism. Stirner's main work is The Ego and Its Own, also known as The Ego and His Own (Der Einzige und sein Eigentum in German, which translates literally as The Only One and his Property). This work was first published in 1844 in Leipzig, and has since appeared in numerous editions and translations.
'Tomorrow belongs to us!'- the idea for this title came from two places; it is the title of a Bat Man comic from the 90's, it is also the name of a song by the punk band The Casualties. I purposely picked titles which had 'us' in them as i felt it seemed more direct and it would relate to the reader, who ever they were.

I presented my ideas for the title at our group meeting and as a group we decided to use 'Tomorrow belongs to us!'.
Ash.
