When I think of the term radical, many words come to mind. In math, a
radical could be called a symbol that indicates that a particular
'root' is being computed or sought. In other contexts, radical has a
connotation of 'crazy'. There are many other definitions. Even a
libertarian or a fascist could call him or herself a radical.

But, the best definition of radical is the use of the word in a
progressive context. At least, that is my perview. Radical is a method
of thinking and acting that exposes and seeks to overturn the existing
imperialist-racist-sexist-homophobic-nativist paradigm of the current
world.

Radical is active.

Radical is self-criticism.

Radical is liberatory.

Radical is anti conservative.

Radical let nothing that is oppressive stand without a good fight.

Radical takes on power. It does not just speak truth to power.

Radical makes history - even if the press ignores it.

Radical is love, love for humanity, peace and justice.

Radical is, radical is always changing.

Radical is the real future for suffering humanity.

Hi there,

This is great and I agree whole heartedly. Where did this come from? Or might I ask who you are? =P

Love
Lauren
