I'm Suggesting That We Abolish The Social

First Of All, I Didn't Suggest That We Should Simply Get Rid Of All Prisons.

My Idea Of Philosophy Is That If It Is Not Relevant To Human Problems, If It Does Not Tell Us How We Can Go About Eradicating Some Of The Misery In This World, Then It Is Not Worth The Name Of Philosophy. I Think Socrates Made A Very Profound Statement When He Asserted That The Raison D'etre Of Philosophy Is To Teach Us Proper Living. In This Day And Age 'proper Living' Means Liberation From The Urgent Problems Of Poverty, Economic Necessity And Indoctrination, Mental Oppression.

I'm Thinking About Some Developments Say In The 80s When The Anti-apartheid Movement Began To Claim More Support And Strength Within The Us. Black Trade Unionists Played A Really Important Role In Developing This Us Anti-apartheid Movement.

You Can Never Stop And As Older People, We Have To Learn How To Take Leadership From The Youth And I Guess I Would Say That This Is What I'm Attempting To Do Right Now.

I Think We Have To Really Focus On The Issues Much More Than We May Have In The Past. I Think We Have To Seek To Create Coalitional Strategies That Go Beyond Racial Lines. We Need To Bring Black Communities, Chicano Communities, Puerto Rican Communities, Asian American Communities Together.
