Whatever happened to Leon Trotsky?

Posted on by philipdodson

What ever happened Leon Trotsky….

Well I know that was called ‘no more heroes’, but it could be called ‘no more rebels’.

What happened to the Che Guevara’s?
What happened to the Gandhi’s?
What happened to the John Lennon’s?
What happened to the revolutionaries? The rebel rock stars?

What happened to the students on the streets of Paris?

What happened to demonstrations?

What happened to any form of disobedience?

Where is the lone man in Tiananmen Square standing in front of a tank?

Where are the Martin Luther King’s, who inspired 250,000 people before the internet and Google maps to travel to Washington DC to hear ‘I have a dream’?

The system has made us all so fearful of disobedience, we have become so apathetically compliant.

There is so much more than ever to rebel about, yet silence, and our freedoms are being taken from us without a struggle.

What will it take for a rebel to rise? How much more war, inequality, poverty, abuse, destruction of the planet and much more are we willing to take?

The only hope

The only hope for humanity is to tread a new path.

Do not go back to the old path of hate, judgement and anger. That path leads to misery, death and destruction. That path has brought us to where we are today. The repeating pattern of hate has lead to many millions, if not billions, of humans to have had a miserable and shortened life.

Choose the path that believes that all us humans are equal, choose the path that will lead us to show love, kindness, empathy, compassion, support and help to everyone.

I have faith that we can change, we can become humane, and that we can choose to love rather than endlessly hate.

We can only make a difference if we all do our little bit to change the world. Support each other in spreading a message of change. It takes courage to have a different voice, however, the world, the human race, needs all of us to speak up and to help create an alternative to hate, violence and destruction to people, animals and our environment.

My thoughts go out to all the people on this planet that suffer from the hate of others.

I am choosing love over hate, as it is the only hope.
