A crash course in changing the world.
After some thought i am choosing the EZLN and El Sup as my social inovator. As for why i would like to quote the americans Declaration of Independance, sort of the cornerstone of the wh*** american project.
" Governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of thes ends, it is the right of the people to alter of abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organising its powers in such a form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness."
We all know that at this time, in a post modern age, violent revolution is NOT our answer. If it was we would already be doing it.
But there are times when a human can not sit back and wait another minute. There are some evil people out there, its an estimated 20% of the global econmie thats run by organised crime.... Gansters don't care.
The Zapatistas http://flag.blackened.net/revolt/mexico/begindx.html and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zapatista_Army_of_National_Liberation
for more info.
I chose them because they refuse to stand down, they refuse to replay archaic solutions and they, who have little else, fight back with poetry and committed action. Faced with the hugest of problems they choose hope and dignity. This is really important because we MIGHT NOT WIN, and in that case it is all about how we are anyway.
I have written them and we will see if they reply and what they might think about the evoke experiment.
Please see the blogs that follow for more evidence.
