How to write a manifesto.

Martin Luther King's "I have a dream" speech was a manifesto, Hitler's manifesto was Meine Kampf, the US Declaration of Independence was a manifesto, Marx wrote the Communist Manifesto...Even Easy Rider was arguably a manifesto in a film format.

There are many reasons in life why you might want to write a manifesto. Maybe you're pissed off about something, maybe you think something is really awesome, maybe you want to try and sell something, maybe you want to get elected....etc etc. Well, not many people know where to start.

• Step One: Understand what a manifesto is. A manifesto is a public statement of your intentions. Explain to people (publicly) what you are all about.
  



• Step Two: Pick something you feel very strongly about. It could be anything. Doesn't matter. You just need to feel very passionate about it.
  



• Step Three: Make some bullet points. You fill these in later. Can be anywhere from two to a zillion. However, I recommend using the KISS rule (Keep It Simple, Stupid).
  



• Step Four: Use spell and grammar check, have a friend proof read it. There's nothing worse than a manifesto that's been badly written.

A manifesto can be serious, funny, satirical, or sarcastic. You can write your manifesto however you like. Make it clear and easy to read though. Other things you can do with your manifesto are make it into a speech, record it on video and post it on youtube or something, record it on a tape or CD, write it somewhere else interesting (ex. graffiti), paint it as a picture, etc etc.

The possibilities are only limited to your passion and creativity.
