“Marx was something of an old fart. He was an authoritarian and a centralist and what he proposed was essentially the same as capitalism, except with a different set of people in charge. In any kind of realistic political change you have to start on the inside, by changing the central value system. You can’t start by changing the structure, change has to be a personal choice.” - Joe Strummer 1981. Painting of Joe by Knox 2011.

ReplyDeleteNice painting.
ReplyDeleteJoe was occasionally socio-politically muddled. High on emotive Punk rhetoric and ideas…low on workable answers and solutions. Still…like everyone else…I miss him…
