The task for sociology is to come to the help of the individual. We have to be in service of freedom. It is something we have lost sight of.
From Zygmunt Bauman
In a consumer society, people wallow in things, fascinating, enjoyable things. If you define your value by the things you acquire and surround yourself with, being excluded is humiliating.
I was leftwing, I am leftwing, and I will die leftwing.
This awful concept of underclass is really horrifying. You're not lower class, you are excluded - outside.
Power, in a nutshell, is the ability to get things done, and politics is the ability to decide which things need to be done.
Like the phoenix, socialism is reborn from every pile of ashes left day in, day out, by burnt-out human dreams and charred hopes.
