Demanding the Impossible
So tonight, despite the tiredness, I want to try and talk, just a little bit, about the stuff this blog should really be concerning itself with, utopia. We were talking on the way home from our friends just now about bringing about widespread political change, and how, more often than not, that change has come about through violence. I know I am not alone in expressing a view of pacifism, especially under contrived circumstances, such as causing a revolution! So the topic for tonights, increasingly un-brief, post, is change. Of course the dilema is not just change, however much some marxists declare, but what we are going to change, and how are we going to change it? These are big, fundamental questions to the nature of human society. Of course these decisions are made everyday by the myriad of people with power, in any form, in world society. However, the stance that is going to be taking by this blog over the following posts is going to be one of staunch opposition to the way the modern world conducts itself. First we need to establish what is currently wrong and why change is needed. The next question to address is therefore how is the change to be brought about. And by refering to the first part of our arguemnt, and subsquent ideas, we need to formulate some idea, of what we might want the change to bring about out in the real world. Ok, that's fat too much for tonight already.
