The idea of a project has been applied to a wide range of things. Couples define the conception and rearing of children as a joint project meant to give their relationship meaning. Hardware stores encourage their customers to “say it with your project,” to express their personality by building a new deck in the backyard for grill parties, or to install a new luxurious clawfoot bath tub. Groups of revolutionaries understand their terror attacks as a project meant to change society; it is therefore only logical that the German terrorist group, the Red Army Faction, announced the “end of their urban guerilla project” in 1988 because “this path was not effective in the end.” And even Joseph Stalin’s idea of doing away with classes by “eliminating non-affiliated or obsolescent classes” has been described by critical observers as one of the “most grandiose projects in world history”.
