“Everything I see about me is sowing the seeds of a revolution that is inevitable, though I shall not have the pleasure of seeing it.

“In Marxism there are some very unhelpful ideas about the need to push for a revolution that will overturn all of society. Marx gets that from Hegel, and it leads to some very bad politics, such as the hope that things must get worse because that will then turn into the antithesis and get better from there. A kind of wishful thinking then grows out of not seeing a realistic path forward.” ThinkingNeedsKindIdeasTurnsGrowsPathSeeingRevolutionGet BetterRealisticMarxismWishful ThinkingAntithesisHegelBad Politics Author:Cynthia Kauffman

It may lead you to a reconsideration of the origins of the nation now known as the United States of America. As opposed to seeing it in the same vein as the French Revolution and the Haitian Revolution, you might see it in the same vein as the revolt against British rule in Rhodesia in 1965, and, if so, that might help to shed light on why conservatism is so deeply entrenched in this republic.” IfsWantMayStatesHelpingLightMightAmericaAsksNationsUnitedKnownStepsUnited StatesSeeingRevolutionBritishRepublicShedUnited States Of AmericaVeinsConservatismRevoltFrench RevolutionAntagonistHaitianReconsiderationBritish RuleRhodesiaHaitian Revolution Author:Gerald Horne
“Malcolm X had a clear vision and an understanding that we were - that he was a part of a broad freedom struggle. As his vision became more internationalist and pan-African, as he began, especially in 1964, after seeing the example of anti-colonial revolutions abroad and began to articulate and incorporate a socialist analysis economically into his program, he clearly became a threat to the US state.” StatesUnderstandingVisionStruggleClearSeeingExampleRevolutionProgramThreatAnalysisBroadsSocialistClear Vision Author:Manning Marable
“Real progress in understanding nature is rarely incremental. All important advances are sudden intuitions, new principles, new ways of seeing. We have not fully recognized this process of leaping ahead, however, in part because textbooks tend to tame revolutions...They describe the advances as if they had been logical in their day, not all shocking.” IfsWayImportantRealScienceProcessUnderstandingPrinciplesProgressSeeingRevolutionIntuitionLogicalNew WaysShockingTextbooksUnderstanding Nature Author:Marilyn Ferguson
