    you dont have to convince people based on dry theory. revolution does not necessairily mean a momentary violent insurection that overthrows what was. a revolution can be the process in which you create the structures you wish to see in the future, in the here and now. you then convince people by showing them first hand that it works and that it benefits them.

    here is a great video on how to construct the revolution. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9K6ISx8QEQ

    it has a bit of a slow start, and feels academic but its very very insightful. absolute recomendation.

      Big recommend on that video and Anark’s whole channel.

      This is a short clip he put out recently that makes a really good case for building the new world by fixing today’s problems, which makes life better now, which is something people seem to miss.

      Like we’re not just rolling the dice that what we do now might pay off for future generations. We’re not just “planting trees in whose shade we will never sit”, we are planting seeds we can reap soon, because we need to eat, so we’re solving that problem.

      And satisfyingly, this brings us full-circle to addressing the point of the original post.
