culture of Hedonism!

introspective | 14.01.2004 12:17 | Sheffield

UK alternative politics seems divided into two camps. While domestic issues such as poverty and housing (for example) don't get the support of the activist community, international issues benefit from the huge amount of creative resources available - where protests are often seen as having more sex appeal - how much of this is due to the hedonistic culture of our time?

If you have any thoughts/ comments/ ideas/ experience of how this "pleasure seeking" may get in the way of politics - or even if you consider hedonism as a positive, essential ingredient for the task in hand - we're looking for people to share their experiences to be printed as a future publication (once known as collectableanorak - a handfull of south yorkshire folk feeling the need to resurrect this project as a one off!) In time for those hedonistic riots the working class so love i.e. the long hot summers (around end of May start of June)
