Anarchism is a social and political theory and practice that works for a free society without domination and hierarchy.
Social Ecology, developed from green anarchism, is the idea that our ecological problems have their ultimate roots in our social problems. This is because the domination of nature and our ecology by humanity has its ultimate roots in the domination humanity by humans. Therefore, the solutions to our ecological problems are found by addressing our social and ecological problems simultaneously.
Poetry and imagination must be integrated with science and technology, for we have evolved beyond an innocence that can be nourished exclusively by myths and dreams.
~ Murray Bookchin, The Ecology of Freedom
People want to treat ‘we’ll figure it out by working to get there’ as some sort of rhetorical evasion instead of being a fundamental expression of trust in the power of conscious collective effort.
~Anonymous, but quoted by Mariame Kaba, We Do This 'Til We Free Us
The end justifies the means. But what if there never is an end? All we have is means.
~Ursula K. Le Guin, The Lathe of Heaven
The assumption that what currently exists must necessarily exist is the acid that corrodes all visionary thinking.
~Murray Bookchin, "A Politics for the Twenty-First Century"
There can be no separation of the revolutionary process from the revolutionary goal. A society based on self-administration must be achieved by means of self-administration.
~Murray Bookchin, Post Scarcity Anarchism
In modern times humans have become a wolf not only to humans, but to all nature.
The ecological question is fundamentally solved as the system is repressed and a socialist social system develops. That does not mean you cannot do something for the environment right away. On the contrary, it is necessary to combine the fight for the environment with the struggle for a general social revolution...
~Abdullah Öcalan
Social ecology advances a message that calls not only for a society free of hierarchy and hierarchical sensibilities, but for an ethics that places humanity in the natural world as an agent for rendering evolution social and natural fully self-conscious.
~ Murray Bookchin
Americans, on a sidewalk, in a pre-approved protest with all the permits, making sure they don't bother anyone, otherwise they aren't allowed to protest: THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE
Meanwhile, Nepal is showing us what democracy actually looks like
Rights are seldom acquired by asking nicely. We should be there as a civilization, but the imaginary numbers on the screens of 300 people are more important
a protest should be the first step, it should be a show of force, a "Fix that or else".
if there is no "or else" then it is just a parade
100%
While these scenes are outrageous, they're encouraging. The solidarity of the Nepalese people is incredible.
Blocked regionally for copyright from Culture Machine Music, can't find a redirect.
Crazy. I watched it a day before yesterday and dont remember hearing any music at all. I wonder how they managed to claim a copyright strike on it.
Probably just made some shit up to get it taken down.
I tried vpn in China and it didn't work either, so I'm not sure it's regional.
