Russell Brand's Views on Political System and Revolution_1

1MBA ASSIGNEMENT
During the beginning of the interview with Jeremy Paxman on Newsnight, Russell Brand
referred to himself as an ideal person. He says that he does not know too much information on
politics but he does possess thought to speak about alternate political systems. Russell says
upfront that he does not vote or rather does not believe in the concept of it, and as a counter
question Jeremy asks that why would anyone listen to someone who does not possess the
authority to speaking if he does not fulfill his constitutional rights.
According to Russell Brand, people are being lead into believing that there is only this
one system where they have to vote but nothing is improving from that system, the current
system only serves a specific group of people and for their own benefits. The planet is being
destroyed and also being tainted at the same time like it always have been and the economy is
under a distress. The political class that has been going on for generations have reached to such a
level that Russell Brand is not voting because of apathy but rather he is not voting because of
indifference and intolerance from the lies that have been presented to the people. When Jeremy
Paxman tries to persuade him by telling him that he can be a part of the change by voting so that
the old system does not keep on repeating, Brand says that voting in the first place has created
this current paradigm. Brand mentions that he has never voted in his life because he does not
believe in the system, which is being represented by the government. He is a man of conviction
who does not want a revolution but want people to wake up from the lies and depravities of the
government. While being cheerful and trivial, he bashes the system and provides more facts than
statements. He wants to overthrow the current political system and wants the people to stop
voting, not because there is a better alternative but to tell people to stop pretending that the
current system is actually beneficial to them, while actually it is not. He is furious about the
inadequacies of the politicians to an effective and meaningful change.

According to Paxton, he presents himself as a person who is adjusted to the system and
from the start of the conversation tires to steer up Brand to know why he wants a revolution from
the current political system. However, when Paxman asks Brad what actually gives him the right
to edit a political magazine when he does not even vote, Brand replies in a fashionable manner
that he was in the chair of the editor because an attractive woman asked him politely. Despite the
fact that it was a very interesting debate and a confrontation, but Paxman severely lacked the
question stock because Brand was fully prepared. He presented himself as a serious academic
with solid political ideas and well-researched rebuttals.
Though Russell Brand does not blame the current political system for his drug addicts
days directly but indirectly the system is responsible because of the negligence and the mass
economic depravities that is still causing people to take up drugs. The revolution is a change that
Brand presents and wants the people to know. To him the currently system is misleading
information and serving only those who are the higher ups in the society, only the systems which
serves the planet and the population should be allowed to run. Paxman tries to change the flow
when he says that who should be allowed to run the system then, to which Brand responds that
there are peole who are more qualified than him and certainly more qualified that the current
government that runs. So instead of voting for just a show where nothing good is actually being
done, he wants people to vote when there would actually be helpful the planet and themselves.
Some more unobtrusive, more subtle strategies incorporate dread mongering, utilizing
government’s reserves, specifically or in a roundabout way, for battle reason or for harming
potential challengers. Officeholder hopefuls appreciate significant favorable position against
challengers in light of the expanded name acknowledgment that streams from people in general
profile of the workplace they hold. Furthermore, even in situations where officeholders have
