I've been saying this for years, but this is the Democratic Party's favorite tactic. Demand the impossible. Sow unrest by making ridiculous demands of society.

The Next Left: Demand the Impossible!
By Paul Austin Murphy
Here's a few questions for American Thinker readers:
“Do you take an interest in the way society functions?
“Are you angry or upset about injustice, exploitation and oppression?
“Are you interested in political ideas and theories, even if you don’t yet know much about them?
“Do you want to get involved in contributing to positive social change, if only in small ways at first?
“Lastly, no experience of activism is necessary to attend Demand the Impossible, but some experience should not prevent you applying.”
Does all that sound appealing? Then Demand the Impossible is for you.
So just in case you thought schools and universities weren't already left-wing enough, here's a school explicitly for radicals. It's called Demand the Impossible and it will take part in London on October the 3rd.
The school is the brainchild of Global Justice Now. Global Justice Now “is a democratic social justice organisation working as part of a global movement to challenge the powerful and create a more just and equal world... We need to make really big changes in the world. But this won’t happen overnight because power is rarely relinquished easily by those who possess it...”
This is how the school sells itself:
“Demand the Impossible is an evening course for young people about political ideas and activism, starting October 2016. Organised by Global Justice Now and the Critical Education Project.”
And here's a list of some of the goodies on offer at this school for radicals: “Brexit Britain, London's housing crisis, migration and its causes, capitalism and alternative systems, mental health, Trump vs Clinton and more.”
The agitation/propaganda (agitprop) itself will take the form of “interactive role-plays, talks from activists, film screenings and performance, as well as special excursions, talks, exhibitions and walks in London and elsewhere”.
Finally, do you also want to earn money from your radicalism; as well as forge a career? Of course you do! Thus this school for radicals offers you the “possibility of an additional four-week activism placement with a campaigning organisation such as Global Justice Now, Take Back the City or Momentum”. (Momentum, incidentally, is the far-left group right at the heart of Jeremy Corbyn's attempt to turn the UK into a dreary and depressing socialist utopia.)
And like any business (this is in the business of “radical change”) which advertises itself on the Internet, this school for radicals quotes the words of various previously satisfied customers. Take this example:
“I feel more developed socially and mentally. I have gained new friends, insights and perspectives and I feel like a person ready to take on the world.”
