Britain is not a country that is easily rocked by revolution... In Britain our institutions evolve. We are a Fabian Society writ large.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Revolution is not something fixed in ideology, nor is it something fashioned to a particular decade. It is a perpetual process embedded in the human spirit.
Revolution comes when human beings set out to correct decadent institutions.
Revolution is engendered by an indignation with tyranny, yet is itself pregnant with tyranny.
We got our revolution out of the way long before the French and the Americans. The monarchy was restored, but the sovereignty of our parliament, made up of and elected by a slowly widening constituency of the people, has never been seriously challenged since then.
Revolution is something that actually starts in individual hearts.
We don't need to chase a nostalgic rendering of Britain as it never was and never can be: we need instead an understanding of who we really are and what a happy, prosperous, just nation might look like.
The British political system and the whole clapped out Westminster architecture, and the language that we use about politics, it's completely unsustainable. You either decide to be part of that transition to do something different. Or you cling to old certainties.
There's a civic nationalism in Britain and dozens of other countries.
A revolution is a struggle to the death between the future and the past.
Britain is rich in radicalism, and anyone who says that our society has drifted into fatalism and apathy should get out more.
