What is obvious to me, although probably very hard for a reader to stomach, is that most artists and advocates of art activism don't recognise in themselves, as they sit through an evening of talks on political art, their inner teenager lapping up discussion as though it was a 'Rage Against the Machine' record and they were sixteen again.  To put it less metaphorically: People do not recognise that these cultural events which act as platforms for social change, actually hamper change by providing an outlet for peoples' aggression to be spent on intellectual wrangling.  People, in their fervour for social change, have replaced direct social action with unending and varied discussion about the nature of social change.
