Hardcore Techno And Revolution

There was definitely a spirit of revolution in the hardcore scene in the 90s, a lot of people believed in this and followed it. i assumed hardcore could kickstart a worldwide revolution, and that by 2005 i was living inside some kind of liberated zone where anarchy and hardcore music met.
just like the anarchist revolution that the anarchists in the 19th century envisioned, this revolution did not happen, and a lot of people reverted back into "real life", or continued with some attempt of "music without politics".
i lasted a bit longer but gave up too - until my rationality took part of the better of me again and i knew again that anarchy is true.
in the end we behaved like children. our one attempt at revolution did fail full-scale - or so it seemed - but that doesn't mean all attempts have to fail!
imagine a remote village mostly untouched by civilization somewhere. they heard about planes and that they're able, so to the best of their knowledge they cut chop and build a plane of wood and then are disappointed that they can't fly away with it. this is what happened to us!
because it is indeed possible to change the world and to start a revolution. but we used the wrong methods for it!
take DHR records for example. they wanted a revolution too. alec said he used a basic idea of williams burroughs. media can change social structures; the content of media has an influence on people of society. thus, "riot sounds produce riots". (it's more complicated, i reduced it to some basic terms here). but there is exactly the problem. william burroughs' concepts on this are extremely flawed. you will not have the right effect with it. burroughs knew more than a lot of people, but he really knew very little and his ideas were hindered by being "of their time".
so DHR couldn't start a revolution or even a riot with these methods. yet they still achieved a lot. literally hundreds of producers were inspired by them to generate radical sounds. their sounds and those of DHR literally reached millions of people. this is a *big* effect. so the burroughs method "worked" - but not in the way intended!
this is typical of using flawed methods to change the world - you achieve something, even a lot - but not what you intend!
so with the right methods we can change the world and this is what we should do. i will write about this elsewhere, but if you're curious, the core focal point of it has to be *rationality*.
