an very well stucture and though out piece of writting about the faults with activism. I find it very interesting how he argues that activism has in away become a part of the system it aims to bring down. perhaps it is human nature to become unwilling complacent by repeating the past and our strange adversion to change, even when fighting for change.
"Even if as activists we are doing things which are not accepted and are illegal, the form of activism itself - the way it is like a job - means that it fits in with our psychology and our upbringing. It has a certain attraction precisely because it is not revolutionary."
