À propos de cet audio
We all know the system isn’t working. Our governments are corrupt and the opposing parties pointlessly similar. Our culture is filled with vacuity and pap, and we are told there’s nothing we can do: "It’s just the way things are."
In this audiobook, Russell Brand hilariously lacerates the straw men and paper tigers of our conformist times and presents, with the help of experts as diverse as Thomas Piketty and George Orwell, a vision for a fairer, sexier society that's fun and inclusive.
You have been lied to, told there's no alternative, no choice, and that you don’t deserve any better. Brand destroys this illusory facade as amusingly and deftly as he annihilates Morning Joe anchors, Fox News fascists, and BBC stalwarts.
This audiobook makes revolution not only possible but inevitable and fun.

On paper and told with a good bit of ol' Bri'ish humour these sound like simple, feasible goals. Except the world and people are far more complex than Mr. Brand gives them credit for by a long stretch.
This is a wonderful fairytale of dreams and even ideals to strive towards and the world desperately needs true revolutionaries but even Mr. Brand is forced to admit what happens after revolutions: Napoleons and power vacuums and suffering once the social highs are sated and people realize that things actually have to work, day-to-day, now.
In the end the reality of Mr. Brand's "revolution" is to call upon every citizen to be an active administrator of their government... which, hell, is exactly the fix for the current system.
Tearing down the current order doesn't "free" the people, it forces them to fend for themselves and, worse, allows the winners of said current order buy up the rubble at fire sale prices. There's untold precedent for this, which, again, Mr. Brand ignores because hey, revolutions are both sexy and easy. Destruction is easy.
Picking up the pieces again, making it all work again, THAT is hard.
And all of this completely sidesteps the fact that we exist in a world of nations who are all entirely willing to take advantage of said revolution for their own means.
This book is fun for what it is and there are good challenges and thought experiments in here. But in the end Mr. Brand's "Revolution" is a house of sand built on a foundation of bullshit.
interesting ideas and challenges
