http://www.counterpunch.org/2016/03/28/bring-on-the-crackup-hoping-for-a-trump-sanders-election/Date Written: 2016-03-28 Publisher: Counterpunch Year Published: 2016 Resource Type: Article Cx Number: CX19053 There is every reason to think that electoral "politics" in the United States (and most places) is bullshit. For people who yearn for a very different world to get involved in this "process" -- which is almost entirely scripted by people who absolutely do not yearn for a very different world -- is a big waste of energy and commitment. The arguments here are addressed to the yearners, who I will call "radicals" -- people who recognize that the only real solution to the many problems facing humanity today is a qualitative, even epoch-making, change. When I say "we," I mean those of us who yearn for and work for such a change. Subject Headings |
