Attention Activist: You'd GAIN, not Lose, General Public Support If You Declared Your Egalitarian Revolutionary Aim
This is what random people on the streets of Boston are saying; watch them here
The above clip is from my video “Attention Activist,” in which I ask random people on the streets of Boston if they would support an organization more, or less, if it said it aimed to remove the rich from power to have real, not fake, democracy with no rich and no poor (which I call the egalitarian revolutionary aim.)
Most activists think most people would answer this question with a ‘Less.’ This is why most activists talk only about the minimal reform goal of their organization, in order—so they believe—to not “scare people away” with radical talk.
As a result of this self-censorship, hardly any activists express their egalitarian revolutionary aim. And this in turn creates the impression among everybody else that hardly anybody has that egalitarian revolutionary aim, and so if they want their reform effort to succeed they better keep quiet about having this aim if they want not to scare people away from supporting their reform effort.
But guess what? Watch the full video below and you’ll see that most people say they’d support an organization MORE, not less, it it advocated the egalitarian revolutionary aim.
Your reform effort would GAIN strength if you told the public that you wanted to win the particular reform you were fighting for because it would make society a little bit closer to being one in which the rich were removed from power and we had real, not fake, democracy with no rich and no poor, which is also your aim.
My earlier post didn’t have the title it deserved. It should have been titled, “The Reason So Many People Are Sports Fans Is Because They Hate Capitalism.”
Read here how YOU can help build the egalitarian revolutionary movement to remove the rich from power.
