This review is from: DO IT!: Scenarios of the Revolution (Paperback)

i read this for the historical context of it. i am very fascinated with anything hippie. The is really just a book where the author rants and raves politically but not at all philosophically. it lacks depth and therefore there is nothing to debate.

What i did like about the book is that it pushed past boundaries of the times. there is nudity in the book and there are foul words and cussing; words in which one rants and raves with. i believe that was what the author was shooting for was to push past status quo and to encourage strong emotion in the reader through shock tactics, outrageous pictures of nude anarchists of the era, strong language for the blue collar, white supremist, elitist, political government to stand up and take notice of and perhaps see this revolution as a serious militant adversary to contend with.

This review is from: DO IT!: Scenarios of the Revolution (Paperback)

I cannot recall so long ago when at 12 I read Rubens'treatise on the social ills of my country ,what he specifically had to say.I do recall however that this book sparked a lifetime of getting off the fence and becomming passionate about what I thought, felt and believed. At that young age,to realise that the world was not the Idealistic place I naively thought and to realise that my own opinion was just as valid as anothers was very liberating. At 50 I am about to once again embark on reading what formed a lifetime of social and eco activisim and a career of almost 30 years.

Historically speaking the book has value... for understanding an ideology the book is worthless as there is no ideology, only anarchy. It's fun read and suitable for anyone wanting to learn about the climate back then. A little revolution now and then is healthy.
