I am a radical in many ways by society’s standards, I’m sure — my ideas of goodness and universal liberation are apparently off the map — but I’m not one of these people who longs for destruction. At heart I’m not a revolutionary, but an engineer.
Destroying things is easy. Building things is hard. And the certitude that we will actually get a better society by destroying the current one first? I don’t buy it. That’s the foolish myth of the greenfield rewrite turned into a social theory.
So when I agree with the QP at the top of the thread, don’t misunderstand me: my agreement is not a wish. It’s a warning.
