I'm not much one for slogans... they remind me too much of sound bites. Sometimes they condense great truths, but usually they just oversimplify complex issues.

Naturally slogans can be mere soundbites. Equally they can be powerful rallying calls if they do indeed condense valid truths (or even just condense widely held belief).

The power of advertising slogans can hardly be dismissed. And say what you like about the situationists, they understood the value of a good slogan.

Unfortunately, you can demand revolution and STILL be ignored.

Of course you can. I wasn't suggesting that making demands always resulted in satisfaction. That's free markets that is, and I'm not exactly a fan. Also, when 2 million of us took to the streets to demand that the British government refused to join Dubya's rush to war, we were obviously ignored.

One wonders, however, if the two million of us descended on Downing Street and burnt the fucker down whether it'd have been so easy to dismiss our demands...
