“Hope in the Dark”

In her book "Hope in the Dark," Rebecca Solnit makes the bold claim that hope is a decision to take action in a world where the future is still unknown and inexplicable. Solnit claimed that radicals have a lengthy, underappreciated history of revolutionary successes based on decades of active participation and an extensive analysis of ecological, cultural, and political history. She underlined that sometimes the beneficial effects of what we do aren't immediately apparent, felt, or even quantifiable. She argued that this hopelessness and pessimism stem from an unjustified conviction about what would occur next.
