“Revolution confirms Superstition, by offering sacrifice.”

XXXII, My heart laid bare

“In order that the law of Progress could exist each man would have to be willing to enforce it; for it is only when every individual has made up his mind to move forward that humanity will be in a state of progress. This hypothesis may serve to show two contradictory ideas–free-will and destiny–are identical. Not only will there be identity between free-will and destiny in Progress, but this identity has always existed. This identity is history–the history of nations and individuals.”

This is a blog that discusses the modes, modalities, and dispositions of contentious politics. It was initially set up to help me write my dissertation in which I grapple with the problems of organizing a movement but has grown since. I chose to call it Red Rhetoric for two reasons. One, because the organization that I am writing about is one of the largest mass organizations of the CPI (M). Two, because Marxist scholarship has dealt with the problem of organizing like no other.
