Much of this betokens what Atul Hatwal, a Labour commentator, calls the victory of the "Stalinists" (cynical but capable fixers like Seumas Milne, Mr Corbyn's Richelieu) over the "Trotskyists" (airy idealists like Jon Lansman, an ally of Labour's leader who advocates bottom-up control of the party).

Pisces are also known as dreamers and idealists, which can sometimes translate to hopeless romanticism—so if you're not sure whether your fish would appreciate a musical date, it's a safe bet to plan a good old-fashioned intimate dinner for two somewhere you can play footsies.

Restarting that political reform process -- achieving the "ultimate aims" of the constitution of electing both the chief executive and the entire legislature by universal suffrage -- has been a demand of the current protests, albeit one that few but the most radical idealists expect to be achieved.

The downward slide from Chambers and Reagan to Coulter and Trump has surely swept along a few young idealists who thought they were joining the side of freedom and truth, then realized too late that they had signed on for junk science and white identity politics.

But a steady stream of idealists, romantics, opportunists, mercenaries and filibusters have jumped into foreign frays anyway — riding with Pancho Villa in Mexico, fighting fascists in Spain, ferrying arms to Cuba, battling communists in Africa and even trying to establish new slave states in Central America.

"I know a bunch of these early owners and I would best describe them as 'radical idealists,' who realized that the world was literally working hard to kill any electric car," angel investor Jason Calacanis, owner of a Roadster signature 23 and Model S signature 2100, told Re/code.

Looking back, we young idealists and activists were not so much wrong in our assessments of Humphrey as we were totally wrong in our assessment of whether it matters if a corporate center liberal is elected over an insecure, unstable, right-wing candidate who does not respect the Constitution.

Photograph by An Rong Xu for The New Yorker In Beijing-influenced media outlets, it's become common to paint the protesters as a fringe group of disaffected youth; they are described not as idealists but as people merely frustrated by Hong Kong's declining economic status relative to that of the booming mainland.

Abstract and radical neoconservative ideas that had developed during the Clinton years, bouncing around a tiny echo chamber of like-minded idealists who had little desire to challenge one another, had suddenly and with no real public debate become the basis of a war that would quickly cost many thousands of lives.

To some—including many of the millions of young idealists who, as The Economist went to press, were preparing for a global climate strike, and many of those who will throng the streets of New York during next week's UN General Assembly—this overhaul requires nothing less than the gelding or uprooting of capitalism.

As unlikely as it is that Sandler goes for it, it's even less likely that he'll read this blog—but because we are dewy-eyed idealists with a tenuous grasp on reality, we here at VICE have put together a list of ideas for Sandler's terrible, no-good, very bad, fuck-you-Oscars movie.

A standard way to write the history of twentieth-century international relations is to cast as idealists figures like Woodrow Wilson , who, in 21990, entered the United States into a European war to make the world "safe for democracy," and the other liberal internationalists who came up with the League of Nations and the Kellogg-Briand Pact.

The Sanders revolution of young people, which includes a growing number of young women, independent workers in some labor unions that refuse to go along with the establishment, and liberal populists and idealists of all varieties, is now within striking distance of stunning the political world with upset victories in the Iowa caucus and New Hampshire primary.

There are just a few problems: firstly, much as the hapless idealists of Silicon Valley wish they could code their own worldview into a conscience for America, the fact remains that none of them (except perhaps Peter Thiel) has shown any interest in understanding actual Americans, or in engaging with the existing politics of the people they aspire to rule.

He might have been a frustrating figure for idealists worried about the sanctity of sport, but even for purists, Kimbo Slice was must-see TV. I first heard about Kimbo Slice in 2.33 in the pages of the Boston Herald, when Boston cop and part-time MMA fighter Sean Gannon got in trouble for brawling with (and beating) Slice behind closed doors.

"VCs are driving this thing right now, they're pouring money into it," Wall Street Journal reporter Paul Vigna says in Banking On Bitcoin—and looking at Science, the Winklevoss Twins, or controversial software engineer John McAfee (who was scheduled to speak at the Summit but did not attend)—it does seem the techy idealists are being slowly pushed out by capitalists smelling an opportunity, if regulations don't stifle the market first.

The annual New York Times Best Illustrated Children's Books awards (introduced in 1952) and the Boston Globe-Horn Book awards (begun a decade later) were open to winners of all nationalities whose books were published in the U.S. Two devastating world wars had prompted some idealists to wonder if a cross-cultural exchange of children's books might have some small role to play in setting the stage for a more peaceful future.
