Surviving Capitalism (Not) : Dancing with Grief

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.

This post is an exception to my policy to post articles from their original websites. I encourage you to click on this website to see for yourselves the many fine articles appearing on it.

The people at Titanic Lifeboat Academy have devoted so much time and effort into warning people about the climate crisis and have trained people to live sustainably. I recommend this website especially to those of you who are now resigned to the destabilization of our climate.
