I think it does and Brand is giving it a shot. It can cause no harm.

Kirklands ideas are well and good, but will never happen. This elite will never atone and thus revolution is the only answer. It doesn't mean blood, but proper anarchy. People taking control of their working environments in collectives. The City of London probably has to go. Can anyone imagine Blair saying sorry like a good boy? Me neither, stick him in The Hague. Deal with them all properly. If people would just stick together, it wouldn't take much to get these people out. It really wouldn't.
I dislike him because he's full of hot air and lacks true conviction... A lot of what he says may 'resonate', but it's nothing profound that most people don't already think, it's condescending...

You don't get a revolution by being absentee... When in history has that ever happened? You just allow the politicians to ignore you more and pander to the ones still voting (businessmen, landlords, the wealthy etc). Naive
