Not a current article, but an important one to build social power--a power that, I think, is more important than all the fossil fuels in the world. That latter energy source is killing us because of our misuse of it under the capitalist system that has kept us divided, while social power can save us and help us use the remaining energy resources wisely.
If anything, I think that this author's insights about the power of social cohesion are understated. Moreover, too many psychologist's in the US, while serving the interests of the Empire, have used insights like this to advance the profits of corporations or even to destroy people. It is up to us to use the insights, which are hardly the exclusive knowledge of professionals, to build resilience against the Empire and for healthy, sustainable communities and societies.
People who have diverse interests, skills, and resources and who can work together make it more likely the group as a whole can respond adaptively to unforeseen problems and challenges.
