the institutional transformation of society by society
I'm on board for a [[social revolution]] in the 21st century. My revolutionary flavour of choice is [[revolutionary socialism]]. [[Eco-socialism]], specifically, as [[to be a 21st century socialist is to be an eco-socialist]]. I am desiring of a revolution that leads to something akin to an [[ecological civilization]].
How to get from here to there?
revolution never occurs just through the behaviour of a particular group, however big or small. It happens because masses of people, many of whom have never considered the matter before, demand change and put themselves at the centre of political events
Strategy: I hope that [[prefiguration]], education, agitation, and organisation ([[educate, agitate, organise]]) may lead us to a [[social tipping point]] that tips us towards harmony. I believe you need both some of the spontaneous network and the party form to make this happen. See [[Neither Vertical Nor Horizontal]]. A bit of both [[Climate Mao]] and [[Climate X]] if you will.
Tactics: With revolution there is the thorny question of violence and struggle. [[When bringing change we must minimise violence]]. I hope the minimum = 0 and that [[direct action]], [[civil disobedience]] and enacting positive alternatives in there here and now can suffice. Probably naive. But unlike in [[To Posterity]], I hope that we who wish to lay the foundations of kindness, can ourselves be kind.
Demands: TBC. see e.g. [[Half-Earth Socialism]], [[ecological civilization]].
I dream of a #Revolution led by [[Maitreya]] y [[Avalokita]].
I will now try to dedicate the next [[eight years]] of my life to the #revolution, as you help me define it, if you want to.
If we agree on an ethical definition, we can try to work together under many a beautiful banner for the rational and kind re-evolution of the world.
I'll now try to do [[8 pomodoros]] for the loving kindness #revolution at a 1/2 [[burn rate]], meaning I estimate it'll take me [[8 hours]] (enough for 16 pomodoros) to schedule eight periods of one-directed focus.
I believe I've seen the [[revolution]]. I saw how it happens.
The [[revolution]] has started, my friends!
I believe most of you have seen it already.
I think the #revolution is coming, I've seen it happen.
I sometimes dream that I started the [[revolution]] two years ago at #Google and nobody noticed.
