Changes

The anxious expectation that nothing will happen, that [[capitalism]] will go on indefinitely, the desperate [[demand]] to do something, to revolutionize capitalism, is a fake. The will to revolutionary [[change]] emerges as an urge, as an "[[I cannot do it otherwise]]," or it is worthless. With regard to [[Bernard Williams]]'s distinction between Ought and Must, an authentic [[revolution]] is by definition performed as a Must - it is not something we "ought to do" as an ideal we are striving for, but something we cannot but to, since we cannot do it otherwise. Which is why today's worry of the [[Left]]ists that revolution will not occur, that global capitalism will just go on indefinitely, is false insofar as it turns revolution into a [[moral obligation]], into something we ought to do while we fight the inertia of the capitalist present.
