You were doing so well.<br><br>Yes. Revolution. They're not interested. They never were, but revolution doesn't need to be a slave to the old patterns of their thought processes either surely. Why does revolution have to be violent?<br><br>Anyway I only came here to say Hi and you might like <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlgEOGTROsI" rel="nofollow">this video</a> of Koran desecration protesters desecrating SWP banners.<br><br>Its not worth taking Respec1 or Respec2 seriously but if we start to take peaceful revolution seriously I'm sure there will be a whole load of people much more interested who are a million miles from the SWP and a lot closer to wider society. Why would it have to be violent? I was thinking it might be a whole heap of fun.

Intellectualising and theorizing is very easy but actually showing empathy or understanding isn't so. The hard slog of solidarity is too much for some.<br><br>I really was moved watching the two refugee girls on the video at the meeting I attended the other night on Iraq's refugee crisis. But what quality of life will they have?
