maybe not by reform, sure. never doubt the power of revolution. systems, as big as they are now, are not yet invincible. there is still time. put pressure where it’s weakest, on the connecting joints and coupling links, and watch it all fall apart.

the reason for this is simple: if brought about by random, there is little to no reason to want the world which we hate back. if brought about by heroes and by purpose, there is a moving force, a drive to pursue, a goal and men to follow. purpose ultimately makes change
