Driving home I heard Sir Michael Marmot discuss idealism with evidence....
Do we need evidence for what is KNOWN?
Yes evidently - because our modern society seems to continue to ignore the truth of mutual aid, the need for equality and also it needs stats to act!
Really enjoyed this broadcast and say Quixote dream on coz Sancho Panza will see you right.
There is wisdom in nature which will not yield to the wildest dreams of man - to attack a windmill ought to indeed result in death, etc.
I collected all the evidence I need by living it.
Empowerment by indebtedness is illusion - I am sorry - but real change comes through the benevolence of THIS planet. Those that hold to inequality and worry not that the poor may suffer needlessly in health provide doctors.
Vaccines never will nor have protected against malnutrition.
Dis-empowerment is a requirement of the State.
Back when Labour where in 'power' I had a job as an anti-poverty worker, and was charged to write an anti-poverty strategy - yes, I am in Liverpool.
What I have seen since the Conservatives have come to 'power' has sickened me - literally I am ill.
This is not a statement of political loyalty as if were loyal to any it would be Kropotkin.
Blame the economy?
Failing to yield to a necessary and very much going to happen no matter what you want, change in the economy - not listening.
Let go, for now it is you who is to be dis-empowered.
And know that all will be well for you and yours - because that was only illusion and now we face a greater truth.
Anyway thank you for the radio broadcast Michael Marmot - great wit, great thinking.
