Very thorough Mr. Palurintano. The points you raise about antagonism and being respectful are so important. Whether we ever reach a voluntary society is one thing, but we all have the power to make a better world right now by being excellent to each other. I recommend people join @sterlinluxan's Compassionate Anarchy group on facebook and enjoy his work to learn more about it.
I liked what @jeffberwick said, basically, we don't know what will work so why not try anything. Larken made a lot of statements in the debate about what was impossible. In my experience, and yours too I'm sure, you never know what's possible until you try. I'm sure this campaign will change things for the better no matter what.
There are quite a few movements around the world more focused on local politics, such as the Ubuntu movement in South Africa. I do believe that movements like that can bring lasting change, provided they have the right systems in place.
Thanks Kenny, have a great day
Thanks brother!
YES! YES! YESSSSS!!!!
Exactly; and if that thing doesn't feel in alignment to us, we don't have to be the ones to try it. If someone else feels like trying some strategy (with the same goal/intentions), let them do it, learn from the experience, and keep moving forward. The word impossible isn't something I really let into my vocabulary much at this point; in general it is simply used in place of ackowledging a lack of understanding, or out of pessimism/lack of creativity.
Agreed, and that's the most important part.
Absolutely! Even just in the US there has been great success with projects like Community Rights, The Free State Project, and of course the worldwide Transition Network
Blessings brother! Hope you have a magical, inspirational year!!
