What will change the world, the social and political world, the way we produce and consume? What could rise from the ashes of a decadent system collapsing as I write. You and your revolutionary orientation, your revolutionary framework can now be brought to the millions of confused Americans and people who now wonder what to believe. There is no time to wait. Yes, you must renew your own awareness of your revolutionary orientation, true.... but the time is now.
Despite all the talk about Anarchism it seems that people have been less than vigorous in individually selling their own ideological wares. I guess people hate being missionaries but it's missionary time for the oppressed. Reactionary ideas still tend to dominate people's minds and I mean bourgeois ideas in particular. Suddenly millions of otherwise confused and misguided citizens can learn the fundamental insights of feminism, socialism and many other progressive orientations. It will be liberating for so many to "get it" for the first time. "Jody Sixpack" is ready to become a conscious member of the working class and someone who can now see through the bourgeois lies she once believed. It doesn't mean we have to be sectarian just because we help some poor bewildered Republican catch up with political reality. We will learn as we teach and teach as we learn. We can learn from each other as we spread the unifying goal, to replace a reactionary oppressive society with a progressive and liberating society.
Class struggle is the key link across these diverse liberation ideologies. This is now more obvious in the imperialist heartlands, Europe, the United States, and Japan. Of course the need to side with the many billions of impoverished world-wide has always been the sin qua non of a progressive ideology. Without a "preference for the poor", siding with the working class or otherwise being with the "have nots" an ideology cannot be progressive, left or liberating.
