Tell us, Chris Hedges, What will be the course of this Revolution?

Chris Hedges on Salon

Question is… can we do the revolution, like digging under the foundation, and as the Empire collapses, a little here, a little there, replace it with what we’ve been working to build together, like the ship of Theseus, piece by piece, plank by plank–and at last, transformed into something unimaginable until it emerges, whole and free of the empire of money and death that had engendered it? Or must it come from a bloodbath, where force will replace force, and the boot of Authority emerge, unchanged, but with new names, and new victims, and our new masters?

Which will it be? And do we even have a choice?

  1. I can’t find the quote anywhere else on the web! I thought it was your reaction to the article, not a quote from it. It’s a great one, though. I love it! Thanks – let me know if you can remember where you found it. It doesn’t seem to be in the article that’s linked. Best to you! Love your work!
