Revolution
Some keeping it real
Submitted by Cassiodorus on Tue, 04/30/2024 - 8:05pmAny time you mention revolution, you always get the same reaction from standard liberals: oh but we're against violence. Really?
If you pay taxes, you're contributing to violence.
If you voted for Trump or Biden, you were contributing to violence. You'll probably be doing it again in November. It's not like you apologized.
Actually, the violence you're contributing to is genocidal violence. So why should anyone listen to you when you say you don't like violence?

Revolution or ruin?
Submitted by Cassiodorus on Mon, 07/27/2020 - 5:49pmRight now I want to bring your attention to an article by Kai Heron and Jodi Dean in "e-flux," Revolution or Ruin, because it illustrates an important dilemma in today's politics which I've been discussing elsewhere on the Internet.
Here's Jimmy Dore echoing the same sentiment, kind of.
What Constitutional Crisis?
Submitted by RantingRooster on Wed, 07/22/2020 - 10:17amNOTE: This rant is not to poor cold water on Fire with Fire's essay, but that what started as a comment, turned into this... ramblings of a mindless lunatic!
How can there be a constitutional crisis when neither party, nor any federal or local law enforcement, actually recognizes the constitution any more? It's absurd.

The Revolution is being televised: the Great Awakening Has Begun
Submitted by Alligator Ed on Tue, 04/14/2020 - 7:56amThis Great Awakening (GA) is not the one That Trumpocrats would have predicted. The reason they didn't see this coming is that they weren't looking the correct places. The People. Us. Everyday people.
I disagree that Bernie's run was pointless
Submitted by gjohnsit on Wed, 04/08/2020 - 6:44pmWhat Bernie did was an absolutely necessary step that you see repeated over and over again throughout history. The people here that are most disgusted with Sanders (plus Jimmy Dore) want revolutionary change now.
That's not how things happen IRL!
Historically it's necessary for the moderates to get fed up first.
