Terminology is the Key to Transformation - The Small People Must Re-define the Terms of History

If we do not want go go under, if do not want to be swallowed by the current wave of destruction, we must re-conquer the power of definition which has been taken out of our  brains and our of our hands.

CHANGE and  the defense of peace begins in the minds of women and men. If we want peace, we need to redefine the course of history. Revolutions are not dictated by the forces of imperialism. Revolution is not their cause, theirs is the maintenance of power. Even Disruption and destabilization of existing power relations are  at times useful tools to that end in the mighty hands of those in control. Transformations towards a peaceful society based on justice can  necessarily only come from below. It  must begin locally and on a national scale.  Transformations in that sense must be designed carefully and prepared in long terms. They can only be the result of a long term and well organized  struggle from those deprived of all rights, even of the right to survive. Academics, scholars and handicraft people must join in with hands and brains.

Comprehension comes first, action will follow.  Revolts and armed upheavals  have nothing to do with necessary revolutionary changes that are needed on a global scale in order to help heal the world from total destruction. We must begin with the begins again and again until every exploited body will comprehend  that he and she must join in for the struggle of a better world, for a social order that  can be erected with   our  brains and hands. The future will be ours , but only  if we begin to see through the fog and draw the necessary consequences.
