Transcript: Tweet by the SRSLY wrong podcast. Content: "message to my enemies: when the revolution comes you're not just gonna get the wall, buddy, you're gonna get four walls, a roof, clean clothes, good food, education, and quality health care because that's what every human being alive deserves"
It can be one of the goals. Pretty sure it was for Cuba actually for example. And many times it comes about from one as well, like, again, Finland
But why would you think that everyone's talking about the US here? I have national healthcare and still I'm a revolutionary.
Most of us are not revolutionaries. We're just people who have some basic logic and a straightforward solution to some of the main causes of basic human misery. These days that's not even a revolutionary thought. The majority of people in surveys of different countries agree with the original statement.
A real revolutionary takes extreme actions. They break laws. They cause "good trouble" when they can. They stop the means of production, either as a collective or even as an individual. They invent and strongly advocate for an original and novel idea that goes against the status quo.
Most people here are extremely unlikely to be true revolutionaries. And if you are, be careful when admitting it in public, because those in power by nature do not like true revolutionaries.
It would be nice to think you are. But from my years of experience, it's more unlikely you aren't.
You're most likely a follower, a messenger. And that's not a bad thing either - the world needs people to support true revolutionaries. Stability wouldn't be possible without that either.
But change only comes through true radical action.
If that's were true, no revolution would have ever been possible.
Never said the majority of people had to be revolutionaries.
But a decent chunk does either way.
Yeah, I don't agree with your definition of revolutionary.
Fair enough. Language changes. Once revolutionary as a word has been diluted in meaning, there'll be another to replace it.
