SNIPPITS AND SNAPPITS

Moral decay, political corruption and fascism are everywhere. But activists have been busy. For decades we have tried every tactic to avert catastrophe. We voted, wrote letters, gave money, held signs, protested in marches, clicked links, signed petitions, tweeted websites, wrote books, taught classes, turned off the television, programmed apps, engaged in direct action, committed petty vandalism. All for naught. Popular revolution remains the only viable tactic left.

HEROES OF THE WEST

HEROES OF THE WEST by Stephen Gjertson

Oil on canvas, 1988
