Time for a Revolution Debate
Time for a Revolution Debate
Be it resolved, politics as usual isn’t working. It’s time for a revolution
Falling life expectancy. Rising economic inequality. Power concentrated in hands unelected elites. An environment poisoned by profits. For some, the crises present day America faces are existential. As such, the political response needs to be commensurate to the moment and nothing short of a root and branch political revolution. For others, this revolutionary impulse on the Right and Left spells disaster. The victories of liberalism have always been incremental. Society’s institutions and the social consensus are inherently fragile. Steady, realistic reforms are best and only path to creating an enduring and just society.
