More From Terry Eagleton

If libertarianism were easy to explain, and it weren't easy to exaggerate the effects of libertarianism, i think it would have been done already. many many very intelligent people have applied themselves to crafting an agenda that people could grab ahold of. but the problem of course is that libertarianism isn't political. it is kind of anti-political. it wants to take a lot of things out of the political arena.

The white man knows what a revolution is. he knows that the black revolution is worldwide in scope and in nature. the black revolution is sweeping asia, is sweeping africa, is rearing its head in latin america. the cuban revolution - that's a revolution. they overturned the system. revolution is in asia, revolution is in africa, and the white man is screaming because he sees revolution in latin america. how do you think he'll react to you when you learn what a real revolution is?

A revolution is bloody, but america is in a unique position. she's the only country in history in a position actually to become involved in a bloodless revolution. the russian revolution was bloody, chinese revolution was bloody, french revolution was bloody, cuban revolution was bloody, and there was nothing more bloody then the american revolution. but today this country can become involved in a revolution that won't take bloodshed. all she's got to do is give the black man in this country everything that's due him, everything.

A revolution is bloody. revolution is hostile. revolution knows no compromise. revolution overturns and destroys everything that gets in its way. and you, sitting around here like a knot on the wall, saying, “i’m going to love these folks no matter how much they hate me.” no, you need a revolution. whoever heard of a revolution where they lock arms, as reverend cleage was pointing out beautifully, singing “we shall overcome”? just tell me. you don’t do that in a revolution. you don’t do any singing; you’re too busy swinging.

F you analyze it i believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism. i think conservatism is really a misnomer just as liberalism is a misnomer for the liberals - if we were back in the days of the revolution, so-called conservatives today would be the liberals and the liberals would be the tories. the basis of conservatism is a desire for less government interference or less centralized authority or more individual freedom and this is a pretty general description also of what libertarianism is.

First, what is a revolution? sometimes i'm inclined to believe that many of our people are using this word "revolution" loosely, without taking careful consideration [of] what this word actually means, and what its historic characteristics are. when you study the historic nature of revolutions, the motive of a revolution, the objective of a revolution, and the result of a revolution, and the methods used in a revolution, you may change words. you may devise another program. you may change your goal and you may change your mind.

I believe that the bigger problem is that we're seeing people who arrive from cuba and a year and a day later are travelling to cuba 40 times a year, they're staying, and that's hard to justify. the problem is not that i want to deny anything to anyone; it is the need to justify those laws.

All of modern physics is governed by that magnificent and thoroughly confusing discipline called quantum mechanics ... it has survived all tests and there is no reason to believe that there is any flaw in it. we all know how to use it and how to apply it to problems; and so we have learned to live with the fact that nobody can understand it.
