  • Exploring issues around the building of socialism
  • Exploring issues around the building a viable socialist/anti-imperialist movement in the west

The name of the blog is a reference to Thomas Sankara, a great African revolutionary who is all too often forgotten.

“You cannot carry out fundamental change without a certain amount of madness. In this case, it comes from nonconformity, the courage to turn your back on the old formulas, the courage to invent the future. It took the madmen of yesterday for us to be able to act with extreme clarity today. I want to be one of those madmen. We must dare to invent the future.”
