Any progressive change in the history of this country began with protests, civil unrest, and generally from the bottom up, not the top down. It comes from the belief that the systems we inherited were man-made and can be changed, need to be changed, and that there is an alternative.

But this is all predicated upon a rejection of the hegemony of neo-liberal ‘Centrism’ and the realisation that radicalisation is not always such a bad thing. We can change the world, but it all starts with a rejection of the ‘Common Sense’ that ‘There Is No Alternative’.
