Speak truth to everyone, not just those in power
It’s not our fault that reality is Marxist, but if we do not escape the dead end of liberal leftism, it is our fault if no-one trusts us any more, argues MARYAM PASHALI
Telling people that are upset that they may be wrong about something will cause outrage and lose us fair-weather friends in the short term — but it has the potential to gain the trust of the masses as those that “tell it like it is.” We don’t just need to speak truth to power but speak truth to each other too.

THE spectre of digitised revolution has been haunting youth across the political spectrum. The early 2010s marked the start of the age of rebellion stemming primarily from online spaces, with the hashtag #OccupyWallStreet spreading across platforms and democratising access to revolution.
Suddenly it felt like anyone with a keyboard could kick off a movement, expose corrupt politicians and denounce regimes through what Manuel Castells called “spaces of autonomy.” And like everything else that becomes divided according to the colours of political flags, online revolution quickly became sectarian to its core.
Internet-centric rhetoric rapidly became paramount to organisation and action, seemingly rendering old-school forms of civil rights and labour organisation obsolete. The digitised revolution soon became entwined with everyday political rhetoric, morphing and becoming distorted with each retweet, reblog, repost.
