That is the whole point of ChangeMakers, to change things effectively. Not to merely put on some posturing street-theatre, nor to be wreckers and man the barricades, nor to provide succour for anti-democratic elements of the loony fringe, nor to promote any party political lines, but to set a new example for the participation of everyone in our great Civil Society. We should neither seek to blame 'the powers' nor 'stick up for the underdog' since again the whole point is that there are no underdogs, only those that cynically seek our pity, nor we are patron saints of lost causes either. ChangeMakers should be aiming only to assist those that are serious about taking some of our own responsibilities back from those we normally, for fair reasons, delegate it to. Manchester is also not Chicago.
