The Purple Revolution was and is an alt-Left movement that... is not a revolution exactly, but rather a social renaissance which is already under way due to irreversible social changes partly due to the liberated data of the internet meeting with modernity's high education rates... and the liberating powers of modern technology and multi-cultural exchange.
'The Purple Revolution' as envisioned by its founder is only partly a bottom-up movement: just as critical to success, probably more so, is appealing to the nobility of the wealthy and the middle classes, or at least a sizeable segment of them... sometimes by putting our bodies at risk through acts of civil disobedience. Better, however, is to appeal to the same empowered souls through intellectual and spiritual avenues such as Christianity, Nash's "game theory" (Nobel laureled) etc.
We are an anti-fascist movement, believing that fascism has revived and is threatening our diversity, our privacy and freedom of ideas, and even our democracies. In opposition to the fascist concept that humans are to be affirmed or eliminated based on their material contributions, we embrace the ideals of fascism's first conqueror: F.D.R.. We stand for the principle that human souls have certain 'inalienable rights' and that our value lies in our humanity. Many of us are secular, but many of us believe that this humanity is bestowed upon us by Divinity... and is not to be stolen by the small-minded and money-grasping.
We believe that the diversity of mankind is a positive gift: that humans come in many ethnicities and in many forms... Those whose forms do not meet the aryan ideal or even the usual human form are not monsters fit for euthanasia... but the diverse handi-work of God. We stand against Xenophia... the successful modern civilization is of a hundred different colors, a hundred different faiths and creeds. Forever we shall stand against Xenophobia!
Likewise, within moderation, we believe in the open society. Another way of saying this is that we believe in the creative 'chaos' of democracy as opposed to the tyrannic central control of the 'security' state. After our wars for republic and democracy and our many decades of democratic tradition, these stands should not be necessary... and yet they are.
The forces of oligarchy and neo-fascism are alive and active: hiding under the cloak of 'security:' they are a python trying to strangle the democratic breath of lady liberty. This time: the serpent shall be repelled from the garden
There is quite a bit more to this, but this is all I can write tonight. God bless you
addendum: Although I earlier defined The Purple Revolution as an alt-Left movement, which I did because its first peak came interfused with the Sanders movement, I do not believe it to be ideologically landlocked... It's concerned with politics and policy, but is ultimately about the human heart and relies on the noble powers and possibilities of the human soul!
