“History teaches us that a given view has been abandoned in favor of another by all men, or by all competent men, or perhaps by only the most vocal men; it does not teach us whether the change was sound or whether the rejected view deserved to be rejected. Only an impartial analysis of the view in question, an analysis that is not dazzled by the victory or stunned by the defeat of the adherents of the view concerned - could teach us anything regarding the worth of the view and hence regarding the meaning of the historical change.” MenDoeHas BeensGivenSoundViewsTeachVictoryConcernedHistoricalDefeatFavorsAnalysisAbandonedRejectedVocalCompetentStunnedHistorical Change Author:Leo Strauss
“Incrementalism: In the first generation, the goal of the movement was wholesale social and cultural transformation. Small, incremental victories were too little given the magnitude of America's moral decay. Since 1988, the new leaders have recognized that incrementalism is the surest path to success in political competition. The current movement is committed to securing small victories now, postponing for the long-term more fundamental changes in society and politics.” FirstsLittlesLongAmericaPoliticalGivenSocialGoalTermLeaderMoralPathGenerationsAtheismMovementVictoryTransformationFundamentalsCompetitionCurrentsCommittedPositive AtheismLong TermDecayMagnitudeWholesalePostponingPath To SuccessSmall VictoriesChanges In SocietyMoral DecayIncrementalism Author:Kenneth D.

“Jeremy Corbyn couldn't have won without Labour changing its leadership election rules in 2014, but which more importantly got rid of the electoral college that had given MPs a third of the say over who leads the party. That's why Diane Abbott came last when she ran for leader in 2010, even though in the absolute number of votes she came third out of five. It's one of those wonderful historical ironies that the change to the rules was a victory for the Labour right, the result of a push back against the unions who had been asserting themselves more forcefully within the party.” LastsGivenResultsPartyNumbersLeaderFiveWonderfulCollegeVictoryVoteThirdsAbsolutesElectionUnionsHistoricalIronyRanLabourElectoral CollegeMps Author:Alex Nunns

“Deeply, he felt the love for the run-away in his heart, like a wound, and he felt at the same time that this wound had not been given to him in order to turn the knife in it, that it had to become a blossom and had to shine. That this wound did not blossom yet, did not shine yet, at this hour, made him sad.
