From Occupation to Revolution

10 November 2011, 11:59

Excellent text, lucid political proposal. It goes to the deep roots and does’not stay at the surface of things happening now.

If OWS is affraid of revolution (whereas it claims to wish one) it will collapse, for sure, and , collapsing, will destroy so many NRJ and hopes and wills that it will be worst than ever before.

You cannot stay "in the middle" if you want to change society. It does not take (only) flowers and words and new alternative practices of gathering, living together and so on... It takes hard, tough, unlikable, sometimes even disgusting... moments, acts, words.

"society" is a strange word. Means everything and nothing. Society under feodalism is different fron society under capitalisme, under socialism. "Changing society" means changing the system. Means, may be, rather than RE-volution, E-volution, Volution (from latin word signifying "Will" in action) (as Damasio found it in his first book "Zone du dehors", "Zone from outside"). The question here is the question of WILL.

what do we WANT?

How shall we obtain what we WANT?
