I would 100% agree that waking the peasants (and ourselves - how can we be sure we're not just dreaming all this?) is top priority. But I think we'll have to storm the castle sooner or later, unless the castle collapses because of its own structural integrity, and many people will be damaged by falling masonry in that case. And this metaphor is utterly out of control, so let's finish by saying that "The Bad Guys" still have most of the guns and all of the nuclear weapons, and that won't go away if we stop believing in it.Doloras LaPichohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15406903235156602127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35011209.post-16445364451196167372010-04-15T01:31:51.402+12:002010-04-15T01:31:51.402+12:00hell yeah Dolores. I'm reminded of Christine H...hell yeah Dolores. I'm reminded of Christine Harold's thoughts in "Ourspace", however, in which she makes a strong case that old models of resistance may be losing their usefulness in the information age. In the old days, one conceptualizes the power held by a monarch. To seize the power, we must enact come kind of coup and pass around the resources.<br /><br />But it's not like that anymore. It's not like we live in capitalism because one person at the top of the pyramid has chosen it for us - we consent to it every day, with every one of our actions. Adbusters tried to release an "anti brand" sneaker, but they only succeeded in creating an anti-brand brand identity. It's not that Nike is in control, it's that WE put Nike in control.<br /><br />That Master Meme is composed of all of us in some way, yes? All our desires and goals woven together into a tangled tapestry of supply and demand.<br /><br />For me, I'm starting to think of the revolution not in terms of storming the castle, but waking up the peasants. -CramulusFresh Heirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14258886590487231741noreply@blogger.com
