やっぱり難しいですね
There is little question any more that change in our social institutions must come.
Never before in history has there been such a consensus in objectives all over the world,
nor such a variance of method in trying to achive these objectives.
Most men everywhere agree they want to end war, imperialism, racism, poverty, disease and tyranny.
Whant they disagree about is whether these expectations can be fulfilled within the old frameworks
of nationalism, representative goverment and the profit system.
And running through the tension between agreement and disagreement are
these questions: How much violence will be necessary to fulfill these expectations?
What must we suffer to get the world we all want?
We have three traditional ways of satisfying the need for institutional change: war, revolution and gradual reform.
We might define war as violence from without, revolution as violence from within and gradual reforms as deferred violence.
I would like to examine all three in the new light of the mid-twentieth century.
