Change Blogging

DJB wrote a poem entitled, " Why do we blog?" over at FilipinoVoices.com. Most of the things he wrote there are personal. What is substantial is, DJB recognizes the contagious nature of blog entries. For him, "meme" is like a gene to our bodies. " Only the fittest survive, and no one gets alive."

Let me add more---blogging is an effective weapon of the Revolutionist. It changes perceptions. It suggests acts that, in the long haul, effects attitudal changes. People, especially Filipinos, are fairly cognizant of the effects of reading blogs in their views. Ideas from blogs are akin to spores that fly out from a virtual field of sunflowers.

War and Revolutions are dictated by desires for change. One can't launch a Revolution by just paying for the jeepney fares or food of those who'll go there. It is simply thru an entire mass of like minded individuals that wars and revolutions are fought for and won. When the entire mass of the disfranchised and the dispossessed unite and form themselves into a movement can change be imminent. There is no change thru formulaic methods, no revolutionary formula that applies to every political situation since there are different variables that form part of the entire picture.

The Revolutionist should therefore, identify the causes for effective transformation and use these learnings to develop spores that would infect the minds of the Filipino people. When people presume that New Media is not an apt weapon for the workers to unite, they are NOT really cognizant of the ways of the proletariat.

The New Media, like its predecessors can be the Iskra of the New Generation! If Vladimir Ilyich Lenin Ulyanov formed the paper Iskra during his time or Fidel Castro's Granma or that La Solidaridad in our patriot's milieu, we, the Patriots of the New Generation, can also form ours, using the latest innovation in change blogging.

IN the next few days, the entire Filipino People will see the dawning of a New Revolutionary Weapon that seeks to destroy the darkness and usher the New Morning.
