You Say You Want A Revolution?

OPINION: BY JEFFREY A FRIEDBERG
You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it’s evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world….
—The Beatles, Lennon-Macartney, REVOLUTION, 1968
As I’ve asked before, “Where do you go to have a revolution?”
Is there a special rally point on a map? What does one do when they get there; if they make it there?
What are the rules of engagement? Who and what is the target. When and where is lunch? Where’s the water truck?
Who’s in charge?
I used to think the “revolution” being called for—screamed for—was not coming.
Because—as long as there’s beer in the fridge, a new episode of The Walking Dead, and a new Marvel or DC Comics movie onscreen—everything is “Golden.” The average American won’t bother.
