WhoreCull On Optimism

Spurred on by the venerable example of our beloved Chairman, Mao Zedong, we espouse the politics of Total Cultural Revolution. Reformism, the idea that things can only be improved incrementally, is based on the increasingly fatuous assumption that we have time. There is no time. A politics anchored in time is a politics of conservation. Conservatism is the political creed of those who have something to lose.

So ask yourself: what do you have to lose? Your life? Your life expectancy grows shorter with every day Blair and Bush stay in office. Are you worried that things could get worse? They're already getting worse every day. The future was cancelled some time ago.

Optimism is reactionary: it cocoons actuality in the gossamer of the tolerable, dulling the thirst for change. Despair is revolutionary: it grinds the knife-edge of the intolerable against the whetstone of actuality, sparking the will to change.
