“…insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” – Albert Einstein.
2023 turns into 2024, just as 2020 did into 2021. Let’s not even go there with 2022!
“Smile..” they said, “..it could be worse!” We did, and so did ‘it’! The only difference now is that smiles are even harder to find. What are we expecting to change?
That we become less ‘austere’ than we have been for 15 years? That our debt be more addressable than our health needs? That painless dentistry will one day be available when you need it?
That the next roof over our heads is more affordable or lasts longer than the last one? Or that we even get a roof at all? Perhaps that our lungs will finally draw fresh breath, or that we are marched no closer to the edge of extinction through nuclear oblivion?
To coin an old Welsh working class idiom: “Wish in one hand and shit in the other, see which fills up first!” We all know which one, we’ve always really known and see the proof of it as night follows day – as ’23 turns to ’24.
Expectations, wishes and change are not givens. At some point we have to decide, choose and act! To cast out the hamster wheel along with the cage.
No one reading this, unless you are on the wrong side (you know who you are), has heartfelt belief that we are on the right track, that this is the best humanity can be, or deserves.
We the working class create all wealth and produce all things. We dominate the world in vast numbers and through that energy to create we can destroy the world of war and exploitation.
We deserve better and can create a truly human community through choice, organisation and action. And resolution!
If you have one New Years Revolution to make, make it…the clock is ticking. Happy Revolution everyone, don’t miss out…the offer is for an increasingly short time only!
