Quote by Jerry Rubin

By the end, everybody had a label -- pig, liberal, radical,

Summary

This quote suggests that during a certain period, individuals were often categorized based on their beliefs or actions. The labels assigned to people ranged from "pig" meaning someone who supported the establishment, to "liberal," "radical," or "revolutionary" depending on the extent of their dissent. However, the quote implies that simply holding radical beliefs was not sufficient to be considered a revolutionary; one needed to also possess the means to take action, symbolized here by having a gun. Therefore, being a revolutionary connotes actively engaging in transformative actions, rather than just holding radical ideas.
