Agroecology or Ecodeath
With the increasing concentration of corporate power in the food sector, it’s very difficult to see how it can really shift unless we decide to put pressure on it by abandoning it.
Alternative Structures
Anarchist Modernity
Japanese cooperatist anarchists were often just doing their everyday informal life practices that worked for them through mutual aid, with an ‘anarchist modern’ subjectivity that emphasized symbiosis with surrounding nature.
We Take Care of Us
Disasters like a hurricane or an earthquake are localized. They happen in one place and everyone floods to that place and figures out how to work together. Now with the pandemic, it’s generalized. It’s throughout the city, it’s national, and it’s global.
Rojava Persists: “How about we protect life?”
We are past the stage where we can say if we just change the government it will be fine. We need a more radical system change. More and more people are understanding that. It will—it must—be led by the youth and the women.
Struggles of Women on the Move
While all of them face intersecting forms of visible and invisible violence, making border crossing even more dangerous and lethal for women, we know that women on the move are more than what they are reduced to, and that they bear a power and a strength that no border is able to defeat.
Let’s Do Something Else Instead
People are looking at the structure of this society and asking if it actually makes any sense right now, when we think about the interrelationship that we have with each other, interdependence, dignity, a sense of care for each other, and common good.

When the present becomes impossible, rupture becomes inevitable. The question then becomes whether it breaks left or right, not whether it breaks. History has been un-canceled.
Radical Convivial Conservation
It’s just obvious that we need to move beyond capitalism if we want to be sustainable, because there is a foundational antagonism between long term sustainability and extractive forms of human development.
“The way we build has to be radically transformed.”
We’re all too smart to sit around and do nothing. The math isn’t going to work out. We’re not going to make it in time if we don’t do anything. There is an ethical imperative.
For a Radical Subversive Pragmatism
Precarious capitalism did not give birth to a precarious class, but to a precarious multitude. We need everybody experiencing precarity in their lives to join in a broad alliance of forces.
