The Revolution- What it Should Bring

As most of you know, I DO think there will be a revolution.
And about bloody time!

To me, it's logic. It's coming.
And the ideals which it will bring, are those OUR generation feels in our hearts, but fears in our heads.

As our parents did.
They KNEW these ideals were better, but feared the failure.

The reality, the time isn't ripe.
The revolution cannot come till capitalism has burnt itself out, as Marx said.

Which is why Communism failed. It cannot work in isolation.

It can ONLY work when the apparatus of state, has been destroyed, as capitalism will achieve in its final collapse. THIS is what Das Kapital REALLY says.

And everything we dream of, all our ideals, both of head and heart, will be there for us.

We were brought up to be practical about ideologies, the age of ideology is dead. We are a generation wise enough at last, to have a practical idealism.

If it works, and improves human happiness, it's the way forward.

We can't really accept any of the lame excuses why war and poverty still exist in the twenty-first century.



Or see why we need to appoint armed security to keep us from tearing eachother apart.

Or why it is you think the efforts of our generation to bring up the generation following, without the constraints of the nuclear family, are necessarily doomed to failure.

Or why you think material goods are a substitute for quality of life.

Or why a man who sleeps around is cool, but a woman who does so is dirty.

And who appointed these politicians God? We asked you to work for us, we didn't make you our masters.

And you haven't explained to us why society can never work without private ownership and the institution of marriage. 'Communism' proved it, is not an answer.

Oh, and what happened to the space race?

Or why there are four washing machines in this block of flats, when probably each flat only uses each one ten hours a week. Surely a more communal living is more efficient?

Or why we should refrain from things we enjoy unless you could give us a pretty good reason. 'It's bad for you' is not good enough, if we manage our social contribution OK.

Actually, what exactly IS the morals of the 'moral' majority, based on?
You see, you do HAVE to explain these things in an enlightened society. 'God said', is a crap answer.

So let's face it, come the revolution, these are the questions that will be asked.

And intelligent people, when they take up the reins of this species' material infrastructure, will be sensible about how they structure it.

They will structure it in a way that bests suits human happiness.

So expect communal living, Free Love, far more efficient working practices (Doing far less hours, to achieve far MORE for society), a faster pace of technological development, interplanetary colonisation, genetic engineering, full legalisation of all drugs, complete acceptance of all consensual sexual activity, complete racial integration, complete demilitarisation, legislation by popular vote, limited executives carrying out specific functions, an interlocking global network of such executives, all popularly elected.



This, is our future.

Come the Revolution.

I hope I live to see it.
