On the Brink of
Revolution??
As we have
crossed the twentieth century, many people have lost hope in the future. The
reason for this loss of hope is that there seems to be no alternative to the
capitalist system. Communism and socialism have failed. The idea of fundamental
change, the idea of revolution, has been defeated by the reality of it. Without
an alternative to the system, fundamental change seems out of the question. We
seem doomed to live in the grip of a system which defines human life in terms
of profit and loss, competition and inequality.
Without an
alternative to capitalism, the deepest human values and most important human
relationships will be forever under attack by the demands of the economy and
the dictates of the elite.
Hope in the future
and belief in the possibility of revolution are inextricably linked. Belief in
the possibility of revolutionary change is the key to the belief that human
beings have the capacity to create a human world.
Former Pakistan captain Imran Khan feels there needs to be a
“revolution” in the country’s cricket to rid it of corruption, favoritism and
nepotism.
Is there really a need for revolution
in Pakistan?
