Lawrence Alexander (Jr.) A strategist at Wake Forest in New Jersey quotes Desmond Tutu as saying “we need to stop pulling people out of the river. We need to go upstream and find out why they’re falling in.”
I thought about it and hypothesized that that is probably why they haven’t stopped pulling people out. Because if you have to travel #upstream to inquire about why they’re falling then there goes the issue. Going up to find out why is a task. Since you’re using #nature as an analogy I’ll continue in that vein. “Nature” has used #countervailing tactics to prevent others from coming #upstream. Going upstream means one will have to be creative, inventive, dynamic and #powerful to go against the stream.
But for all we know we have tried to go upstream softly. We have tried to change force with pacificity & incoherence. But we cannot stop pulling people out, for by the time we stop and go upstream, how many would have fallen in that needs #help! So don’t stop pulling people out but know that that is not the #goal. We also have to simultaneously go upstream with much stealth & dynamism & force to find out why and to stop the problem.
I talk about this in section two of my book Neoliberalism globalization income inequality poverty & resistance: “are the resistance movements closer to achieving their aims? The effectiveness of the resistance will be determined by the extent to which they have realized actual power: “demonstrated change in the desired direction.”
Neoliberalism is now available in Hardcover. The Audiobook is currently in production at ACX_Team/Amazon and is slated for release June 14th, 2020
