the notion of a pluralistic
dynamic
balance
really hit the spot
among traumatized
anti totalitarian goo goos
in the harry and ike years
after all that blood and horror .....
=======================================
here's a little
c w mills on the syndrome
paraphrased and tighened up
ultimately these romantic pluralists
desperately believe
in the efficacy
of harmonic development
now after
Stalin's purges and gulags
they have come to abhor
all organized
mass/klass violence
and
because even
the unorganized kind
'seems always to lead
to the organized kind'
they end up
defending
" the just baby steps forward"
methods
that are all
that is possible
while acting
according to
the status quo's
rule book ......"
" goo goo romantic pluralists
expect
progressive
groups
to enter civil combat
even take on the state
armed only
with
a batch
of compelling
moral notions..."
---------------------
but c wright knows better :
"what has been
built
and safe guarded
by force
can only be
removed
by force "
