We’ve lived so long under the spell of hierarchy—from god-kings to feudal lords to party bosses—that only recently have we awakened to see not only that “regular” citizens have the capacity for self-governance, but that without their engagement our huge global crises cannot be addressed. The changes needed for human society simply to survive, let alone thrive, are so profound that the only way we will move toward them is if we ourselves, regular citizens, feel meaningful ownership of solutions through direct engagement. Our problems are too big, interrelated, and pervasive to yield to directives from on high.

Imagine – Playing for Change [4:06m video]

Click here to access the website of Play for Change Foundation which has produced this video.

This foundation is producing some really great music that can greatly assist in bringing all the people of the world together to celebrate their humanity, to reaffirm their power to change the world, and to take back the commons from the ruling capitalist classes. 

"Imagine all the people sharing all the world."
