This
publish button has been taunting me for almost an hour due to the
violent opposition i may get for thinking outside the box, regardless
of whether it's grounded in misinformation or a controversial peak at
the bigger picture.
Pertaining
to Tantawy's speech, despite the blatant denial of the trespassing of
human rights in breaking the protestor's lines that served as a middle
finger in the face of everybody who's been following the casualty count
on the news, I'm concerned about the third decision in the speech for
every reason that the majority is optimistic about.
If,
according to the aforementioned decision, the SCAF has no problem in
having a referendum on whether the Army should return to their barracksa
or not pending the parliamentary and presidential elections and the
people ultimately decide that they step down before a stable regime is
in order, wouldn't that leave the country vulnerable to every other
uprising political party that has greater power? How come popular demand
is focused on ousting one gang when the whole problem lies in the fact
that it's only a matter of transition of power from one gang to
another? At this point of political strife and broken up lines, isn't a
governable gang better in a dystopic context than being left stranded
to the completely chaotic wave of powers running through the parties
right now?
If
the supreme military council resigns, it will not put an end to the
oppression and murder, it's rather an opportunity for more oppression
and murder by more namely-power-craving parties that are not only
unpredictable and harder to govern, but also wouldn't be as democratic
when people eventually get aggravated again and try to oust it. It's
true that all political change was triggered by radical action, but
isn't it also due that radical action stems from organized planning?
Ousting the only remaining form of methodical power would induce
change, yes, but a very unpredictable stream of change that is hard to
govern by sheer force of demonstrator momentum. Case in point, what's
been happening in Sudan for years now.
This
is not a time for impulsively hormonal reactions, people need to step
back from their volatile state of gusto and think for a minute. You're
uprooting a tree from soil that's not up to par and planting it in
experimental soil with no affirmation as to its abilities other than
faltering postulations based on wavering hopes and rash decisions that
is only propped up by the people's paranoia against any form of higher
power that's escalated by their wounded ego and failure of implementing
change post-rev.
Wouldn't
it be better if people cool it down and not rush any radical change
that would push the country into uncharted territory until they
actually get a better grasp of what they want? A successful revolution
should be more than just knowing what you don't want out of a certain
regime, or else it's going to rid the country of every resource and
prop, however faulty they are, for something that's not only
statistically impossible and more of a constant juvenile hope towards a
Utopia after 30 years of living in the gutters, but also very
dangerous, not to mention highly perfectionist and thus not very
applicable in real life.
Wouldn't
it be a wiser decision to wait for a more dependable plan of action
before eradicating an entire system for false patriotic hopes of a
virtual paradise?
