On social change and re-defining our words...

Educating the public, raising people's consciousness and changing laws. All staples of the work for social/political change. I propose another aspect to the good fight. Changing the defnitions of political and economic life. For example, Webster's New World Dictionary defines "politics" as (among other connotations), "the conducting of or participation in political affairs, often as a profession" and "political methods, tactics, etc.; sometimes, specifically, crafty or unprincipled methods." In the near term, I propose a new definition: the active pursuit of the redistribution of wealth and power among all people in a society towards the principle of equality." And perhaps, in the future, very simply: "compassion in action."
