our editorial collective
To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness.
What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and placesand there are so manywhere people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act, and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction.
And if we do act, in however small a way, we dont have to wait for some grand utopian future.
The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory.
Howard Zinn
WHAT IS THIS BOOK?
Hey thanks for picking this up! And welcome to our radical handbook.
This book is written directly to you. Especially if youre a youth, and even more especially if youre a youth with some radical ideas about yourself, your politics, and your world. Its also most definitely for anyone who considers themselves an ally: parents, neighbours, teachers, friends, relatives.
This book is a collection of ideas and stories, information, advice, and encouragement to stay solid and build a good life in a crazy world. Were pretty confident that what youll find in here is an argument for a different, better kind of world. So much of our culture insists that you give up your ethics, forget your dreams, do what youre told, eat the dominant ideology, accept that the world sucks, and believe that oppression is natural.
We want to fight this. We want you (and us!) to stay radical, keep asking hard questions, keep resisting, keep fighting the good fight, and keep trying to be a good person leading a thoughtful, generous, fun life.
We want to talk about having real values and an ethical worldview, about how to keep doing the things that really matter to you. We really believe that you dont have to have a boring, depressing, defeated lifenot now, not ever. We all have to compromise all the time and thats a good thing, but we want to support and exhort you to hang on to your best values and build a good life, not one that you meekly accept because you cant think of a different way.
And hey, a note here right from the beginning: throughout the book the contributors sometimes sound like they are talking to you, and thats awesome, because the book is intended to talk directly to teenagers. But were not talking at you. We want it to be very clearsuper cleartotally clearright off the hop that were not perfect people looking down on ignorant kids and showing them how to lead a good life. Very freaking far from it! We are talking to youth (many of the editors and contributors are youth, the rest of were once), but we are also talking to ourselves, our friends, our families, and each other, trying to articulate what a good life might mean.
The good life is not a thing. Its not a place. Its not something you can achieve. Theres no good life that looks like a secular heaven/nirvana, and believe us when we say that none of us are there. Were alland I mean all of us, not just people who have written something in heretrying to figure out what that might mean. There is no Truth in this book and none of it is gospel, its just a bunch of solid people trying to understand how we can live the best lives possible.
The world is very fucked up in lots of ways, but this book is built on an explicitly active and hopeful premise: that there is a lot worth fighting for, and that you can scrap long and hard while still being a good person, having a lot of fun, giving and receiving a lot of love, and having a good time.
