#TalkinBoutARevolution by #TracyChapman (1988)

"Don't ya know
They're talking about a revolution?
It sounds like a whisper
Don't ya know
They're talking about a revolution?
It sounds like a whisper

[While they're standing in the welfare lines
Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation
Wasting time in the unemployment lines
Sittin' around waitin' for a promotion

Don't ya know?
They're talking about a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
Poor people gonna rise up
And get their share
Poor people gonna rise up
And take what's theirs

Don't ya know you better run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Oh, I said you better run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run

'Cause finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' 'bout a revolution
Yes, finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' 'bout a revolution, oh no
Talkin' 'bout a revolution, oh no..."

Ein erfolgreicher #DemokratischerWiderstand gegen den #Rechtsrutsch, gegen #Neofaschismus & #Gruppenfeindlichkeit beginnt zunächst damit, dass man der Idee von #Ausgrenzung & #Kälte etwas entgegen setzt. Bspw. durch #Empathie für den einzelnen Menschen und seine #Würde. Dieses Eintreten kann und sollte auch #ästethisch sein. In der Praxis hieße das etwa, dass man von #TracyChapman wieder einmal laut "Fast Car" hört:

A good song for these times.

Tracy Chapman, Stand By Me

“When the night has come and the land is dark, and the moon is the only light you see.

No i won’t be afraid, no i won’t be afraid, just as long, as you stand, stand by me”
