From theory, action.

When you say you don't pay attention to politics you're making a political decision. Sitting around and doing nothing is a political act in stating that you choose not to care. Nothing you do is ever apolitical. The word idiot comes from Ancient Greek and was used to deride people who cared only about their own lives and didn't get involved in the running of the polis. It's time to start caring.

I live in Bristol and study politics. Most of the stuff here is usually political, a little bit of stuff from my friends. Marxist. Views, opinions, regurgitations. It all tumbles forth.

"The materialist doctrine that men are the product of circumstances and education, that changed men are therefore the products of other circumstances and of a different education, forgets that circumstances are in fact changed by men and that the educator must himself be educated."

—Karl Marx: Theses on Feurbach (via a-higher-level)
