[lbo-talk] Woj & America

[eric dorkin]

I would quit my job....become a full time activist....and be very agressive to bring down the system...not in the "Fight Club" but subversive and destructive nonetheless....it is a harder thing to do than one might imagine....I like to think I have not "sold out" but I have a level of comfort that makes it hard for me to actively do what I think must be done now to combat the propaganda machines

This bothers me a bit. How do you define "as radical as circumstances
truly demand"? Historically, those who have been "very comfortable (by
the world's standards)" have tended to define such action in
individualist terms: self-sacrifice for the sake of self-sacrifice,
seeking after martyrdom, various levels of terrorism, etc.

What degree of radicalism is demanded now? What does it (or should it)
consist of?
