Pra essa pergunta da Mariana no blog dela:

Será que a gente seria mais feliz em um mundo socialista?


Algum zé ruela respondeu:

Se "a gente" não for "mais feliz" no Socialismo, você deixaria de lutar por ele?! Que superficial.



Daí eu lembrei disso aqui, do FAQ do site do Chumbawamba, e achei muito apropriado:


Happiness is absolutely relevant; why would anybody want revolution if all it promised was more unhappiness? I see revolution as a means to EVERYBODY getting a fair crack at happiness. When Emma Goldman said "It's not my revolution if I can't dance to it" she was talking about the pleasure principle. The fight is to build a fair society where everybody works together to supply food, shelter and safety and we still get to fulfil our individual desires... be frivolous, creative, fuck in the streets, play rock 'n roll, eat, drink and be merry. I'm not fighting for a more austere world but one where justice and joy are prized.
