"No hay respuestas mágicas, ni métodos milagrosos para superar los problemas que enfrentamos, solo los conocidos: búsqueda honesta de comprensión, educación, organización, acción que aumente el costo de la violencia estatal para sus perpetradores, solidarid"

Simplified Meaning:

Dealing with big problems doesn't have simple or easy solutions. We can't rely on miracles or quick fixes. Instead, we need to use tried and true methods. This means we start by trying really hard to understand the issue clearly. Next, we educate ourselves and others about it, so we all know what we're dealing with. It also requires us to get organized and work together, based on shared goals. When we face oppression or injustice, we need to take actions that make it harder for those causing harm to continue. And importantly, we need to stand together with people who are suffering, wherever they are. For instance, if someone is facing unfair treatment at work, we can resist this by learning about workers' rights, organizing protests, and supporting each other to make sure the cost of mistreating workers becomes too high for employers to ignore.
