If only that were the case that people can fully be pinpointed for their actions. That is to say that humans had full control of their destiny when they clearly haven’t. And if thou speaks of that one Socrates quote, I have done my digging and found it in a book that mentions a character named “Socrates” but not the “Socrates” of the Heroic Age of Greece.

Regardless, people do have an ability to outright overthrow the system if they band together. Thou hast to remember that the revolutions are the cry of the people who wish to no longer be oppressed. Yet, wherever a revolution spawns, it must not only search to increase the freedom of the people but also maintain those freedoms by securing the material conditions that can continue to propagate those conditions.

Yet ah, thou may step back and say what of Susie’s World. And I would say, she lives in a NeoLiberal World that has broken and torn asunder the notion of Human Coexistence way before she was born. So already she cannot know what coexisting means, only from the footnotes of history can she dare to muse it. But ah, the footnotes; why are they merely footnotes? Is it because NeoLiberalism had done better than Human Coexistence, well no. It’s because it’s afraid of people organizing around interests of the people for the people. NeoLiberalism can’t stand others realizing and abandoning the false dichotomy of individualism and collectivism; for if people done that, they can see that the system propagates their class for the benefit of those that rule and they are only given the minimal amount to reproduce their labor-power for another day. The only thing the people have to realize that the only thing they have to lose is their chains and they have everything to gain.

For, as to quote the Greeks, “a society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in.” And I must remind thou that there are many people around the World that yearn to Coexist as Humans and not with someone that forces people to be subordinates. And those very same people long tried to appease and ask for more scraps, only to rarely get those granted to them. And realistically, most of the time, they get brutally beaten for suggesting it. So don’t dare to say that they must continue to beg when they decide instead to go to the people and show them the history of the system and say a better World is possible. For these people have already declared “this is a life not worth living and I shall fight, even if it hurt me immensely, to take control over my destiny with others that have been also robbed of their destinies. And why to do so: that the future generations will never have to feel alienated, estranged and can fully experience having control with their own destinies.”

And we can bicker of moral rights and wrongs, but remember that a revolution is only the self-defence of the people and can never be more than that. And remember this also: the building of the New Social Order will always be on top of the Old Social Order. As even our current Social Order had to come into existence somehow, and we know it didn’t make an excuse for itself. Because if it did it, then that would be an admission of guilt. And to further this, know this: only humans can change their own conditions, but the conditions had to be revealed to them by the conditions in order for that change to happen.

The day we can act in accordance with Kant’s categorical imperatives is the day when Humans have control over their own destiny. More-so, that they can truly coexist without a breath of hatred for one another. A day when thy dreams can be realized and lived, and that’s equally the dreams of the revolutionaries fighting for a new World.
