Chris Hedges

There is something kind of appealing to the notion of just blowing it all up and starting over.  But you almost never get anything straightened out or settled that way. What you wanted the new thing to look like when you started the destruction is never what you end up with.

Revolutionaries always come in promising bread and freedom, and they always fail to deliver anything but a very long period of even greater suffering, because all that really happens is an exchange of one Ruling Elite for another.



Evolution not revolution.
