Help Me Rebrand Socialism?
I enjoyed a talk by Chris Hedges, Pulitzer prize-winning journalist and author of Empire of Illusion, yesterday evening. During the Q&A, he explained Socrates’ concerns about the book (Socrates was worried about the written word’s negative impact on society versus the oral tradition):
Striving for a moral life is ambiguous. It cannot be codified. It becomes orthodoxy when these discussions are written down.
Yes. Yes of the Stephen Carter “bumper sticker democracy is bad” variety.
His talk was so thought-provoking that I may have to noodle on a marketing campaign for socialism.
