To Change Everything, an anarchist appeal
To Change Everything, an anarchist appeal
The case for complete self-determination—a guide for the furious, the curious, and the pure of heart
If you could change anything, what would you change? Would you go on vacation for the rest of your life? Make fossil fuels stop causing climate change? Ask for ethical banks and politicians? Surely nothing could be more unrealistic than to keep everything the way it is and expect different results.
Our private financial and emotional struggles mirror global upheaval and disaster. We could spend the rest of our days trying to douse these fires one by one, but they stem from the same source. No piecemeal solution will serve; we need to rethink everything according to a different logic.
“Our enemies are not human beings, but the institutions and routines that estrange us from each other and from ourselves.“
That sounds like a lot of responsibility. I'd rather just keep voting Democrat, eat plant based once a week, put my pronouns in my e-mail signature, and tell myself I'm doing my part to make the world a better place.
I would make every person trustworthy. Everything else would solve itself after that
