134 Who Wants a Revolution? Will a Reform Do?

Politics, Religion, and Money•Senate A• Saturday, 9:00-10:15 p.m.

At the radical caucus panel last year, we spent a great deal of time discussing the idea of radical politics and discovered that there is a wide notion of "radical." Much of the discussion hinged on differences between incremental change and radical change. To many, a world without hierarchical thinking [racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, etc.] is still only a dream. How do we balance the inertia of the status quo with the frustration of "if only.. . .?" How can we affect change [great or small], and what role can our interests in SFF play?

==Transcript Notes==

''Original transcript notes by Liz Henry - please correct or fill in or add commentary''

laura: [...]

ian: for me to be here as a black man... it's something we can't go back from. i don't think. not so easily as we seem to have gone back in feminism

joe: wto in seattle started out protesting etc thinking no big deal really but after 4 days of being gassed and clubbed my perspective changed completely. i think when revolution happens you can't predict your response to it. you get caught up in it.

ian: ... something about seattle wto etc

laura: have not learned a lot about revolutioin from sf. but maybe from Kim Stanley Robinson's mars trilogy. when they destroyed the shoot to the moon i'm curious if there is more about revolution in sf

patrick : not really very much... sf tends to... [] revolutionary in much more simple way but to expand our consciousness... what we can get to. not good at actual process. sf does not have actual procedural recommendations we'd be in a different world.

woman from audience: .... []

susan: sf is in a way our religion and keeps us from exploding. that's true for me. makiing it very very clear for me that i don't want to be in a revolution or a catastrophic scale of change.

[i think that's b/c she has something to lose]

joe: martha ward. gw bush. same char. they antagonize people from looking around,

guy wth pink hair and beard... contingent focus point, circumstance develop and things happen. revolution and sustained change. it would not do any good if a bunch of folks took out the white house and executed the ruling elite. b/c in a few weeks a new set would be ushered into place. culturally the us is not prepared, not ready, to have a society different from what it has now. if we got the revolution, it would not last.

laura: i agree but don't agree at all b/c I heard the SAME words from people about apartheid and about black people in SA not being "ready" or "capable" to run htings. and there are problems in SA but they have a very progressive constitution, etc

lenny: the underlying conditions that allowed that to take palce would not be removed. we have to remove the infection but also change the underlying conditions. we have let these people take power.

laura: question... yes, a paradigm shift but that may not work if they steal the ballots, if they maintain control in every conceivable way. i am not confident whether at this point we CAN...

lenny: getting the media to do their job

patrick : i think the media is the problem there has always been a thuggish business class the present media is morally feckless and corrupt. Decadent, meretricious, "human beings"...

[audience cheer!]

susan: well they kept saying how liberal the media was

patrick: this was a great piece of mau mauing. i popped my cork recently.. over this thing on slate... vic weissberg, editor... hilary clinton... interview of what's on her ipod. his entire article was about how her beatles and rolling stones are evidence that she is weaselly... wtf somenoe who went to college in 1972 likes the beatles and aretha franklin? big surprise!

audience: guy with grey hair and beart and glasses in front row: the problem with the media is like everyone else in this world we have ruules and conventions by which we operate. most businesses are part of a larger structure...

patrick: and how did we get to the ...

bearded guy: let me finish. the problem is... the repulicans hav learned to subvert them. i'll tell you exactly what it is . The talking point.

[jesus.. the testosterone in here...]

patrick: can I finish,

bearded due: Let me finish. [something about reporters and their talking points]. you almost have to view them like the soviets. you knew that everyone in the soviet power structure ...

other guy: the republicans haven't ... [something]

patrick: well i wan't thinking of wisconsin public television as the ...

guy: I'll tell you exactly what i think the problem is is, at one time in our country you have ... obviously partisan presses... but at some point we started getting into the idea of this one quote unquote objective voice.

laura tries to put a lid on it... guy keeps talking right over her. oh man .. i might as well be teleported into the comments thread of daily kos. hello did we forget the "feminist" as well as the "sf" partof this panel? overbearing dudes need to shut up a bit

woman in audience with feathered hat: revolution...

ian: most revolutions happen when things start getting a little bit better after a long slow downturn,. ideas... what it is they're fighting for. for example responsible nonmonogamy as a lifestyle, mostly started by sf fans. who read about it in sf. and then it moved out into the larger culture. it was something people did but not that they talked about or thought carefully about. whether they were so well written... or treated women very well... *laughter*

quilter: you are talking about heinlein?

*laughter

woman with ponytail in back: revolution in us now: gay marriage. knocking on doors... passionate about it.. in wisconisn. that's not where the real battle is. it's not the physical battle it's aesthetic.

patrick: .... people consider the dmo party... 50 state strategy. raising and spending money

another guy in audience: I'll tell you exactly what the problem is . the media keeps exacerbating divisions and turns us into mobs against each other.

[what? some other dude just said the opposite, that everyone says the same thing... and everyone agreed with that and now everyone is agreeing with this new guys]

patrick : We have to make a point of telling them what a fossilized pieces of shit they are, has a point to appeal to any last withered vestige of human decency they have.

laura: wait, wait, wait.. what is the solution? revolution? if the problem is the media, then what is the solution? what is revolution look like ? we must own the media.
so, let's have a quick round from the audience and then more panel discussion.

john, in audience: moderates vs. extremes. do we play to moderates or extremes?

pink hair guy: in many mentions of revolution there are assumptins it is violent revolution or physical overthrow. a cultural revolution that's slower than taking up arms and burning down centers of power... you can reach out to people you know, talk to them. call your coworkers on their shit. challenge people in everyday life.

[hmm sounds like 'reform' to me]

guy in back: 30 years ago we brought them down [what??] 20 years ago we said yessuh massa [wtf] and... to what happened at el mozote. as in that richard vigory article that patrick linked to... no longer come up with talking point. [...]

laura: i'd like to hear from some of the women.

guy in front: what about blogging, what do we see the media enacting? does the stuff hapening in blogging need to happen in the mainstream?

patrick: what would moving to the mainstream MEAN?

guy in front: there's a large number of people online... and the largest people are white collar workers.. how do you get blogs to everyone... blue collar workers...

laura: radio.

womn in front: pornography.

laura: radio is something people who work with their hands can listen to. media and commercialization.

woman in black velvet hat in back: maybe this is obvious but hasn't been said. The way things are not, is VIOLENT. children don't have health care... people's livelihood taken away from them... that's violence.

guy about the el mozote: But, people don't see that as violence.

me: but it is.

cynthia white: well... this is a strategizing question...

susan: how to make people see. "[[The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas]]"

el mozote guy: can you make people see that the poor are us, rather than, they are the poor.

laura: tv showed the images about vietnam and people hurt and dying. and yet a huge amount of people voted bush after seeing abu ghraib.

susan: well,

lenny: well the problem is, I'll tell you,

laura: i want to hear susan.

susan: people don't seem to see it or know it. 14 million...

lenny: how many people in this room write letters to newspapers and tv stations. we need to let them know there's things we don't like. because they care about that.

laura: it's a little bit more efffective in my opinon than voting.

patrick. you can shame people who have been toadies a little bit. and even a little bit is a plus.

woman in pirate hat: american mindset is that your primary motive is self-interest. (is that anna from italy/london?) you need to change that so their motivation; is moral.

laura: that's so true it's shaping the vision of what's going on.

larra clark: i'm a librarian.... we see fox and cnn... letters to the editor is effective... it has a voice. but people have to engage the media in a very active way. just like with politics we need to engage in a very active way. rather than giving up and calling it crap. i don't watch tv, it's not for me and i don't care about it.

laura: creating media i totally see, but what would engaging mean?

larra: avenue and outlets for it. community radio station, look for ways to talk to other people, media as a way to talk to people. chicago, ney, la than if you're in another community we have an obligation to engage. it's a struggle. if we don't our voices will never be heard.

patrick you're exactly right and i don't want to overstate...and you've been very polite,.... and blogging is effective. political blogging makes them defensive. they read it. they pay attention to it:

michael, in front row: child death. problem isn't i see it is that people dont know... they don't care. it's what anna said about self-interest. Reagan made the poor into the enemy.

woman in middle: people at work... no sense of shame. no sense of public property. i've talked to people who didn't know that libraries belong to the public.

avedon : national health service... people here think it's bad.. but it's not... what's bad is losing your health b/c you can't afford it

laura: there's been a structured attempt to degrade the quality of public media and the spread of public information.

ian: revolutions... quote from goebbels, if you repeat a lie often enough it becomes the truth. pick a revolution. civil rights movement. mlk didn't create the bus boycott. rosa parks not an individual, community efforts... figurehead to be sacrificed in case it went badly... hundreds of hours of people volunteering... to make that bus boycott work. when i look at what made seattle effective, was new tactics. decentralization. they weren't able to stop the activists b/c there wasn't a top. it was affinity groups.

laura: that's how we took over the streets in san francisco... we had affinity groups. i had friends [post-panel accuracy check: "friends with family"] in iraq who said that they didn't think america cared but when they saw that san francisco was shut down they had some hope:

ian: quote from [[Upton Sinclair]]

lenny: take the time to call the media

arthur (bearded guy in front)

john: to bring this over to sf. who do you direct your political sf to? and what do you pick to try to change their minds. central vs. radical? we have to speak to red states in the same way that... we have to have ... i don't like the term moderate b/c your way is still there but you have to speak in a way that is understandable...

laura: susan take that.

susan: i'm a democratic organizer in addition to a doctor and sf fan. people who live there should speak to their neighbors and friends. i don't want south dakota to have banned abortion. if you don't want things to get worse... we can't have a one party system. it's important we work to get back one or two of the four institutions so there is some difference. even if you don't see the dems and repubs as very diff

lenny: how many people read atrios/ eschaton... in 10 most important congressional lists. buttons where you can donate. we have to start doing things like that.

arthur: everyone should read dan froomkins's column in the wash post. blog, nytimes, all on equal footing there. based upon the significance of it... they all get equal weight. all sorts of diff voices

cynthia white: in terms of media forums. you can put pressure on your local tv stations. if they don't show a production that's broadcast nationally... tyou can organize write-ins to tv stations. i have conflicted feelings about oprah. she's been doing stuff around poverty in the us... she focuses on individual solutions. but she does talk about health care, minimum wage... i wish she were more collective. i wish i could push her a little bit more to the left. and she goes into the red states.

woman in back: i'm frustrated b/c we keep focusing on media, government. what about the dollars. what about business. sf, and relationship btwn who we see as bad guys based on reading sf.

more...

quilter recomends good book by [[Illicit Passage]] by [[Alice Nunn]], Australian writer: turnkey girl, ... and anna... very good...

girl in white frilly outfit; civli rights movement, xtian church acted in significant way. when most of us think of xtian churches we hardly think of anything positive. hijacking of symbols. it's not a charismatic leader, it's... license plate for wildlife was eagle with flag. but now that looks like a gun-owner-rights right wing thing.

ian: left has to do a better job at dealing with strategic alliances. right wing pulled those feminist out of their fucking minds to coopt them for anti-pornography movement. that gave them power b/c they have formed an alliance.

patrick: are you suggesting that if we have an anti-iraq war demonstration, that we shut the fuck up about mumia:

ian: yes, but. BUT.

lenny: write letters to the paper.

avedon: let's not foget what republican did -- think tanks. not even think tanks they are propaganda strategy machines. throwing money at them. at building

patrick: youth thing — you can get an easy career in being a professional conservative as long as you are wiilling to spend your life spouting right wing talking points

avedon: where is the left wing equivalent

patrick there is no money in being a left wing activist/pundit... [or was that avedon?]

laura: how do we know if what we're doing is the right thning and when it's time to focus on small local elections... and...

me: how do we know when it's time for revolution?

laura: yeah how do we know when it's time for revolution?

woman in middle: people on left have missed the boat in villifying business. small business in particular. what is number one issue.

avedon: you think it's us who missed the boat, you're wrong. it's them. we've been saying it. they missed the boat. they need to help us.

patrick: small businesses... worst bunch of pampered sissies...!!! every politician pandering to them...

woman in black velvet hat: it's people getting together and acting together that will make that change. to stop that violence that's been happening. i operate by the ethic of least harm.

kathleen: i dont know where you live but where i live hundreds of thousands of people ... took to streets, left jobs and school... immigration.

allen baum: i'm not hearing the long term strategizing... the left has money.l..
