JUST PHILOSOPHISING ON - HOW VIOLENT REVOLUTION IS NOW INCAPABLE OF BEING A MEANS OF BETTERMENT! PART 2.

Image
  The fact is that, violent revolutions are not really ideologies per se; rather, they are a means to an end.  With the violence which is to be perpetrated being the 'means' or one of the main 'means' to be used to remove the incumbent regime and its active supporters.  This violence cannot be used to 'build the new better society', because violence is about destruction; whether it be called 'defensive' or 'offensive' violence.  In the earlier stages of ages of the 'evolution of violent revolutions', the economic, social and political conditions of the different classes were more absolute, almost discrete, and more compartmentalised.  As opposed to the much more diffuse classes and social status structures which predominate in most, if not all societies today. With the socio-economic and political infrastructure, like that of what passes for the 'class-structure', so interwoven on all levels, regional, national and international. 

JUST PHILOSOPHISING ON - HOW VIOLENT REVOLUTION IS NOW INCAPABLE OF BEING A MEANS OF BETTERMENT! PART 1.

  'It is the case that a violent revolution can be the means by which a people, class or country can be freed of their chains of oppression or enslavement.  However, there is more than sufficient evidence, from the observation of history and its evolution.  That it, the violent revolution, does not of itself, has the capability and inherent qualities and attributes to establish and maintain a dynamic, just and progressive society.' Revolutions must be lead, and be led by more one person. They need to be led collectively, by competent, capable and flexible leaders in all the key areas of society, social, economic, industrial, cultural and political.  'Revolutions' need to be organic and evolutionary in their development.  Where one person or a cadre attempts or succeed in 'arrest and use the revolution' to achieve their own ends, probably legitimising 'their right' to do so, on the spacious argument that they have somehow earned it by 'liberating the

ABU DHABI GRAND PRIX - ADIOS TO PROBABLY THE MOST CURIOUSER AND CURIOUSER FORMULA ONE SEASON!!! FINIS!

  With Sebastian Vettel, it is arguable that he has achieved his humanity before and since he has become a great formula 1 racing champion. I mean, the impression I have is that of me watching Hamilton and Vettel learning to appreciate, respect and forming a beautiful relationship with one another over the past several years.  I have watched them transforming themselves and their relationship from antagonistic and almost bitter competitors, seeing one or the other having been disrespectful or malicious, even when there has been no certain proof of such ill-will. Into becoming beautiful human beings.  Whether or not, and, if so, to what extent this beautiful transformation has been achieved partly because Seb has not for a long time been a big challenger to Hamilton for the championship, might indeed be a factor.  What is certain, however, is that Hamilton and Sebastian have recovered the genuine respect and friendship I gathered they had had in their pre-Formula 1 years.  They have mov

ABU DHABI GRAND PRIX - ADIOS TO PROBABLY THE MOST CURIOUSER AND CURIOUSER FORMULA ONE SEASON!!! PART 1.

  Another Big Congratulations to Team Red Bull and Max Verstappen for adding Sunday's Abu Dhabi's 2022 Formula 1 Grand Prix to their season's tally, and to Sergio Perez for making it to P. 3, behind the Intrepid Charles Leclerc in his Team Ferrari machine.  A Big Congratulations to you, Charles and Team Ferrari, for making it to P.2, and winning the Drivers' World Championship Runner-up title. And so did we have a not unexpected end to the 2022 Ferrari Season, one which, I surmise, could not have come quickly enough for Team Mercedes and their never-giving-up races, Hamilton and Russell.  Yes, Hamilton was forced to DNF in the dying laps of the race, a race which began with a good promise of the Mercedes' racers completing it higher up the order than they had started, until things began to, not quite fall apart, but become ungainly and cause for some concern.  It began with Hamilton and Carlos Sainz coming together as they negotiate a bend in the second lap of the r

BRAZILIAN GRAND PRIX - CONTRASTING OUTCOMES FOR TEAM MERCEDES AND TEAM RED BULL!

  A Very Big Congratulations to George Russell, for winning his first Formula 1 Grand Prix  in the penultimate race of an exceptionally bleak season for Team Mercedes and their racers, Hamilton and Russell.   Similarly,  a Very Big Congratulations to Lewis Hamilton, not only for making it to P.2,  but also for any intentional constructive role he has played in facilitating his Team Mate winning the race.  Now, it is the case that I do not know if Hamilton had heard and considered the message Russell posed for Team Mercedes, just prior to the pitting of the Safety Car on the last episode of its intervention.  Namely George asking his Team if he and Hamilton were expected to race each other for the remaining several laps of the race, or whether they should just continue and finish it in their then current placing.   The reply form Team Mercedes was that they were to race. Now, let us imagine that Hamilton was listening to that exchange between his team mate and their team, what might hav

MEXICO GRAND PRIX - MAX THE UNTOUCHABLE AGAIN, AS TEAM MERCEDES' CHALLENGE FADED, AGAIN.

  A Very Big Congratulations to Max Verstappen and Team Red Bull making it yet another emphatic win at the 2022 Formula 1 Grand Prix.    With Team Mercedes, while enabling Hamilton to achieve a strong P.2, most probably due to adopting the wrong tyre and race strategy, depriving him of the chance of competing for the win. A Big Congratulations to Hamilton and Team Red Bull for making it to P.2, and to Sergio Perez and Team Red Bull for making it to P.3. And so was the stage set for Verstappen and his Team to establish a new Formula 1 record; that of Max having won the most consecutive Formula 1 races.  It has been reported that Team Mercedes' boss, Toto Wolff, was annoyed that neither Hamilton nor Russell were able to win Pole position in Qualifying.  And yet, judging by the rather disappointing, even if not entirely surprising outcome of the race, there cannot have been any evidential reasons to think that either Lewis or George would have had the pace to convert a Pole into a rac

THE UNITED STATES GRAND PRIX - VERSTAPPEN STILL UNSTOPABLE, BUT HAMILTON'S MOVING CLOSER!

  So, a  Very Big Congratulations to Team Red Bull and the indomitable Max Verstappen, for securing another win at Sunday's United States' Grand Prix.  And a similarly  Big Congratulations to Team Mercedes and Lewis Hamilton, for making it to another P2,  in a season in which achieving a single win, is still proving elusive and beyond their capability.  Yes, this was one which, until the final 6 laps, were looking within their grasp, until Max began to exert what seemed to be Red Bull's inexhaustible pace, and simply rolled over the Mercedes, as the Team has been doing all season. A Big Congratulations to Team Ferrari and the fearless Charles Leclerc, for making it to P.3 , as they failed to make it to the required P.1, if they were to deny Team Red Bull from winning the Constructors' Championship, at this race. Much could be said about the passage of the United State's Grand Prix of 2022.   Such as the fact that it was spectacular, as evidenced from both Russell an
