Anita Roddick's Kind of Revolution

AlterNet: Q&A: Anita Roddick's Kind of Revolution

Always been inclined to look at Roddick as a bit of hero, although the truth is I really haven't researched her ideas and story enough. But its a good interview.

Beginning to get troubled by the extreme overuse of "revolution" in these sorts of interviews. The more I think about it the more I think that concepts of "revolution" and "resistance" are more reactionary then anything. They take us back to the 19th century, not forward to a better world. There is a romance and seduction to it of course, and there is both value and danger in that. But more then anything "revolution" is a marketing phrase, and lately the language of resistance seems to be used as freely by banks and alcohol companies then by those truly trying to improve things.
