4. You don't change things from within. That's called remodeling, not revolution.

To fundamentally change something you first have to disorganize it. A bad culture is too corrosive and will always undermine what you are trying to do. Besides, you don't need it if there really is a need for your revolution.

Then make what you want.

The people you are speaking of didn't join the R party to change it. They had their meetings (their training docs are out there via google) and went after a fairly narrow set of ideas. This is kind of a red area, so there were several, lo those many years ago.

They littered themselves across the roads like nails, to stop progress. They don't intend to build anything, and will ultimately destroy the country if they prevail, because their philosophy adapts to nothing in a world that is always changing. It is ultimately selfish in a world that demands you cooperate or die.

Btw, I have been listening to that song since the year it came out, but it has nothing to do with his later life. He sold out to the other side for money and convenience. A lot of people did.
