Surviving Capitalism (Not) : Recommended articles for May 9, 2018

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.

Actors were paid to support Entergy’s power plant at New Orleans City Council meetings by Michael Isaac Stein from The Lens. The article reports on what is an excellent example of how the use of actors and acting in political situations is a common practice by capitalist agents who have a major interest in how governments make decisions as well as to influence the perceptions of ordinary people as in the case of the White Helmets in Syria.
