as i said before, this is subject wherein my toes are dipped into the pool so please correct me if i'm wrong.
if you look at previous revolutions, they have all failed because there hasn't been a defining ideology underpinning. the common thread is, remove these people from power and so they fail. we do not live in a tyranny in the way that syria or libya or egypt is however the 2 party power structure endemic to ours and many western politics could be seen as tyrannical as their views hover ever closer. someone please explain to me the motifs behind previous revolutions, russia, algiers etc
as much as ive tried to see the inherent problems it ends in swings and roundabouts, the media is as much part of the problem as the politics. the media has one agenda, its own, and both parties try to pander which dilutes the politics. as well theres an ever growing old guard, out of touch and increasingly forceful.
the problem with brand is that his beliefs are not substantial and in themselves are not revolutionary, the cynic that i am i cant help but see this as a cynical attempt to get pr, especially from young people. which will inevitably tally up as money in the bank come his next tv show or film. the black bloc circa 2009 had an idea but were criminalised. its good someone is drawing attention to this (but didn't we all know anyway)
