Battle cry for social revolution : a prospectus : from the absolute sovereign to the revolution of the oppressed

Battle Cry For Social Revolution encompasses the entire period from the seventeenth century to the present. It proffers a sampling of philosophical achievements of four centuries ushered by the centuries of religious wars and their settlements (in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries) and their titanic impact on the rise of the national states and their absolute sovereigns who fought wars endlessly to define borders and powers for great and small states in Continental Europe and its environs. The result of multiple vicissitudes bred the Age of Enlightenment and its grounds for revolution and social transformation, which were embodied in world revolution that manifested itself in the French Revolution and put an end to feudalism and prepared Europe for the conquest of the world.

I have been painting wings of freedom on my shackles. Now I declare: If we cannot vanquish the will of heaven, we can dethrone hegemony and despotism the world over, and establish a kingdom of freedom for the oppressed under the sun. Here is my guide and informer - the corona virus in its fury, the avenger of nature against Anglo Saxon utilitarianism, barbarism and its dehumanization of man. Move my fellowmen, unleash your locomotive of history that calls for the brotherhood of man, equality, liberty and justice for mankind. Jettison the behemoth of neoliberalism out its tentacles, scatter its ashes on the high seas and build a center for a universe of virtue and humanity for the dehumanized. Conquer the galaxies, discover new firmaments and pay homage for the service, and coming of man. Declare or liberated humanity that ushers in an era of bounty, progress, and prosperity that ends, hunger, disease, exploitation and the humiliation of the human spirit.Build here and now a paradise under the auspices of heaven! We commence: Knowledge is pain and the demands of virtue are onerous and only the great create needs and this epoch is a time of greatness, a time of quest and a time of love; a time of spring and a time of passions, a time of brotherhood and a time of choice and a time of authenticity; a time of man becoming man and a time of freedom and her majestic unfolding! It is a time for Revolution! George Hajjar
