Once again, Adam,

Once again, Adam, congratulations in getting out there and making contact.First let me hold up my hands an admit i don't know the answer. i have to confess sometimes i don't even know the question. But i will share my thoughts and hopes with others to be weighed up.i think again that the problem all leads back to reformism and the simplicity of the slogans that claim to offer a solution. A Robin Hood Tax and now the the latest being a Living Wage. The main proponents are no longer the political parties but the charities and NGOs and think-tanks. Because there is less linkage with ideologies then people are more receptive of proposals being without prejudice and therefore more reasonable. The politicians prove to be Johnny come latelys,  hanging on to the coat-tails of more neutral organisations and seeking identification with the reforms for popularity rather than really making anymore a  policy than an opportunist soundbite. Even Tory Boris as Mayor endorses the London Living Wage and lines up with the Millibands.Our language isn't particularly welcomed because over the decades the majority of people have been deceived by it and still are. Many groups have endeavoured to drop it and invent new words. Participatory. Communalisation. Horizontal. Resource Based Economy. But these orgnisations still remain just as insignificant as ourselves in the big picture.We know in our own development it required acquiring new understanding and re-defining our view of the world, learning new terminolgy and attaching new meanings to words that we believed we did know what they meant. But the environmentalists all need to overcome complex concepts and it is not beyond ordinary activists ability to do so. Like any learning there only requires a will, there is always a way. Our particular propaganda methods should include several means of education, written, audio, video and spoken.We had a lesson from the Economics Working Group within Occupy which has set out to explain and clarify what the issues are as they see it and what they meran. All we can do is the same. Beat the same drum as we always have. We can opt to change the language we use. Or choose to reclaim our words. We are all minded how the ideas of  Marx were declared dead and buried but were suddenly resurrected when they were found to reflect reality more clearly than existing interpretations. We have to present our ideas of common ownership as common sense solutions to present current social problems. Socialism as an immediate possibility to struggle for in the here and now, not the here-after. Our arguments cannot just be one-offs but must necessitate saying over and over again. Beat our drum and drum it into the workers' heads. Not always in the same repetitive way but always with the same message. And even then we have to face the fact that we cannot compete with capitalism's hegemony on society's ideas. A socialist revolution first must take place in the heads of the workers, then will follow the conquest of political power. The ideas about the aim derive from, are shaped by, the class struggle, but they also transcend it. It is hard to see how the working class would develop the ability to figure out how to reorganize society if they don't talk about it and discuss and clarify their ideas or their vision of where they would like to go. It is highly unlikely that an entire new social order emerges spontaneously in some crisis although some socialists see catastrophe as the trigger. More likely that people would "spontaneously" fall back into old habits inculcated by class society, such as giving power to leaders to make decisions for them or supporting the rise of the Right as witnessed in Greece. We need to know where we are going if we set out on a journey, otherwise we all risk ending up in different places. Agreeing the route is also an issue to reach agreement upon. We all must learn from our own particular exploitation but it is also necessary to go further and recognise the commonality of how we are all controlled and conditioned. Then we seek common cause and action .
