Je fustige trop souvent l'indignation inculte pour ne pas avouer quand je m'en rends coupable. Après avoir pesté, lors d'une visite au musée d'Orsay, contre le fait que dans leur présentation des travaux du préfet Hausmann ils ne précisaient pas son intention "d'empêcher le peuple de faire des barricades", et après leur avoir fait un procès d'intention, j'ai appris que c'était une pure légende urbaine.

Love and revolution are not for the faint-hearted. Both are like fire burning through the veins and exploding in the heart, and its wave reaches the brain, and from there our passion for the just struggle and improvements for our brothers and sisters around the world. True revolutionaries are guided by great feelings of love and it's impossible to fight for a new world without that burning fire in the chest.

An interesting piece on Iran by the Guardian's #JasonBurke, drawing parallels between the end of the Shah regime in 1979 and today's situation.

It makes me think about societal tectonic shifts and how we experience them in our lifetime, if we hang around for long enough.

I was a teenager in 1979, well read, politically very active. When Ayatolla Khomeini returned to Iran, I wrote a lengthy piece for our student newspaper, explaining how the European Left must celebrate the coalition of forces that manifested itself in the Iranian revolution. The actual result of course was a regime of internal repression and external threat. Five decades later, history is breaking up again.

Shortly after, I spent three months in Israel, in a Kibbutz. There had been no Intifada yet. So many opportunities were open then that have since closed.

History moves slowly, but fast enough to overtake us in a single lifetime.
