Hello,

It is a arresting proposition to do an analysis of how people are successfully oppressed rather than how they are successfully liberated. Isn't this what George Orwell attempted to show?

Of course what is implied by an analysis of successful oppression is (in my mind) to show whether a disruption of oppressive patterns offers liberation better, equal, or worse than attempting to establish patterns of liberation?

Perhaps disruption, interruption, or diversion of oppressive patterns is the best first step? This need not be revolutionary, just effective?

Kind regards,

Annalisa
