   I don't think reading old books about radical political theories is that much useful anymore TBH

     I still see a lot of intellectual types do it and, I feel like pointing out, the connections these ideas had at the grassroots level, they were there in the 60s and 70s, they faded out in the 80s. Not to discount all revolution, but, you know, for most of us, it's more pragmatic to affect things on the ground. Take care of ourselves and others

     @plsburydoughboy Revolutions suck. They just put a new Man at the top.

     @plsburydoughboy The fact that you had to kick out *two* presidents is sort of my point.

     @clacke the people power revolutions are not very radical. The coalition that intersected the left, religious, multiple sectors, some politicians, has very little in common, and very specific aims

     @nds @plsburydoughboy There's a difference between learning from the past and wanting to re-live it, by following dogmas from before we learned how they worked in practice.
