theory – gains in importance. Moreover, in The Netherlands, state bureaucracies increasingly attempt to strengthen society and societal actions, even from an economic viewpoint of efficiency, effectiveness or plainly in search for budget cuts. Under these circumstances, superpowers may slowly begin to support the radical democratic resonance as Coles desires. As such, I would consider visionary pragmatism an addition to theories of change, well thought through and strongly related to practical implementation. Hopefully, scholar-activists around the globe will help Romand Coles on his journey to a radical and ecological democracy.
