A crowded art gallery with the text 'Where can democracy be practiced?' and the text link for https://randallwhite.substack.com
Democracy is not failing because we lack ideals. It is failing because we lack practice.
We can practice democracy now ... with the arts: randallwhite.substack.com/p/the-arts-a...

... and then Boal called this rehearsing the revolution, he would say..
to people don't complain, don't moan, what would you do if you were in this
situation and how can the community support each other
... so you would do it over and over again until you've rehearsed how you would challenge power
#rehearsingtherevolution and building support networks in communities

Thinking about #prefigurativepolitics again. Reading Escobar, who writes that these transformative alternatives is essential to spread the idea that they might, even just sometimes “be able to make a dent in the structures of devastation and oppression”.

The full text could not fit in this description due to the word limit. Here is a summary of the text in fewer words: This is a critique of the anarchist idea of prefigurative politics, which advocates for achieving statelessness through methods that embody the desired stateless society. I argue that this approach is impractical because it prioritizes ideals over reality. In the current world, where anarchy can not effectively function, relying solely on non-hierarchical and decentralized methods is unrealistic. To address significant issues like counter-revolution and imperialism, either widespread ideological unity must be achieved, which is highly improbable, or a state institution must be used to enforce this unity. I believe that using a state is the more realistic option given the challenges of convincing a large population to adopt and consistently follow the same ideology.
Do you agree with this?
