YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIn this conversation, Vijay (of the Tricontinental Institute) and I explore the subject of optimism from a left perspective. A movement which seeks profound transformation can’t succeed unless its members believe that success is possible. That's revolutionary optimism.
I’m optimistic that you'll appreciate it. Excerpt:
Vijay: “Something is going to happen... It might be ugly. It might be beautiful. We have to participate in trying to make it beautiful and stop it from being ugly … Utopia is the end, but it's also the process.”
Richard: “And if it turns out to be ugly, we'll make it beautiful.”
