24. Political Theory / C. Ruling a State / 4. Changing the State / c. Revolution

22258	Passion for progress is always short-lived [Sandel]
	Full Idea: Progress demands passions that cannot last for long.
	From: Michael J. Sandel (Beyond Individualism [1988], p.35)
	A reaction: The obvious example, for me, is the Labour Government in the UK, 1945-51. This is the kind of realism which progressive politicians must face up to. Unfortunately it is the logic of very ruthless revolutionaries.
