About Yesterday's Chomsky Quote

I posted it because when I read it I thought it was exactly what I've been thinking for the past few years.

We need revolutionary change, but it has to come from the desire of the majority. You have to convince them of the justice of simple reforms (my own hobby-horse is the human rights of citizens within their workplaces), the necessity of this justice, ... and then when the system is unable to accommodate these simple truths, then the necessity of revolutionary action becomes apparent.

But that revolution shouldn't be a leap into the void. It should be a next stone across the stream, that they're able to test and see for themselves isn't a foolish leap of faith.
