We hear a lot about the banality of evil . Indeed, one of the most famous quotes about evil comes from Edmund Burke , who stated that "The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing." However, in a culture where, increasingly, no good deed seems to go unpunished, one of the questions being asked is what it will take for people to actively resist evil.
As part of TheaterFIRST's world premiere production of Participants , the artists helping to shape the evening survey the audience to learn who sees themselves as "patriots " and who considers themselves to be "activists ." Part of the evening includes some informal polling as to whether audience members have donated to activists, have a family member who is an activist, or have ever had sex with an activist (and whether the knowledge that their partner was an activist enhanced the activity).
For many years, Cleve Jones has been recognized as an activist in the LGBT community as well as for his work on behalf of unions . When I interviewed him many years ago, Cleve made an important distinction which bears repeating. Although at the time he was addressing the progress of the movement for LGBT rights , his message can be applied to any political movement. The base can usually be divided into two factions: those who may not have a lot of money but are physically active (marching, leafleting, attending demonstrations, getting out the vote) and those who, for whatever reasons, find it easier to donate money from the comfort (and safe distance) of their checkbooks. Cleve also warned people with astonishing bluntness that one day the pendulum could swing the other way and whatever rights they had gained could be quickly taken away from them.
