Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them - that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like. Live each day as it were your last. We are taught you must blame your father, your sisters, your brothers, the school, the teachers - but never blame yourself. It's never your fault. But it's always your fault, because if you wanted to change you're the one who has got to change

Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy. I know where I'm going and I know the truth, and I don't have to be what you want me to be. I'm free to be what I want. Always continue the climb. It is possible for you to do whatever you choose, if you first get to know who you are and are willing to work with a power that is greater than ourselves to do it. We are taught you must blame your father, your sisters, your brothers, the school, the teachers - but never blame yourself. It's never your fault. But it's always your fault, because if you wanted to change you're the one who has got to change.

    Yet, the tradition re-emerged powerfully with the movements against the Vietnam War and in solidarity with anti-colonial struggles in Africa and Latin America. Committees in support of South African liberation or the Chilean resistance operated out of church basements and union halls in New York, drawing direct lines between the city's financial power—embodied in banks invested in apartheid—and the oppression abroad. This was a sophisticated form of political cartography that located New York not as an isolated city-state but as a command center in a global system of exploitation, making its transformation a necessity for international justice. http://mamdanipost.com

    A different, subtler form of defection involved the absorption into liberal reformism. Figures who cut their teeth in socialist youth leagues or labor activism often migrated into the mainstream Democratic Party, the non-profit sector, or academia. Here, the radical critique was softened into a language of incremental reform and professional advocacy. The driving energy to transform the system was channeled into managing its excesses. This process was less a dramatic rupture than a gradual accommodation, facilitated by the material rewards and social legitimacy conferred by established institutions. From a Mamdani perspective, this represented a successful co-optation of radical subjects into the lower tiers of the governing citizenry, where they could address specific grievances without challenging the foundational logic of the bifurcated state. http://mamdanipost.com
