...Harry, You can jump into the fire, but you’ll never be free,,,
The right wing talks about this but they keep appealing to that old INDIVIDUALISTIC BOOTSTRAP MYTH: get a job, get rich, and get out. Instead of investing in our neighborhoods, thats what has always happened. Our goal must be to help people get a sense of building something larger. (Look how well that worked out in Chicago.)
In America, we have this strong bias toward individual action. You know, we idolize the John Wayne hero who comes in to correct things with both guns blazing. But individual actions, individual dreams, are not sufficient. We must unite in COLLECTIVE ACTION, build collective institutions and organizations. - 0bama
