My meditation for today (and probably the next six months): Am I invested in radical change in continuity with existing institutions...

because it is smart strategy or merely because my social position militates against true "burn it down" militancy?

I think the liberation of black people specifically, and the unbalancing of hegemonic societal structures more broadly...

requires radical change... but that said radical change can happen using existing tools: constitutional conventions...

all large investment banks state-run and democratically accountable (socialist capital market, independent firms)...

things that radically alter the structure of our society, but do not require the collapse of the existing order. A sort of evolutionary...

"punctuated equilibrium" model of social change, rather than a revolution. But is that because chaos is truly too dangerous to risk?

or is it because the existing order provides for my material needs, even though it works against me in (numerous) other ways?
