What we’re seeing right now is the prolonged demise of the post-WW2 world and its institutions, a world built, for the most part, on variations of socialism.
And what we’re also seeing is that western neoliberal market fundamentalism and corporatocracy offer no alternative, and their proponents, including democratic governments, mostly have not the intention, the incentive, the means or the competence to build anything to replace the world that is being destroyed.
Citizens and communities must do it. By and for ourselves.
Our futures won’t be the techno-optimist or smarty-pants designery fantasies you hear about on LinkedIn.
Our futures will be scrappy, social, collaborative, improvised, imperfect, multifocal, radically optimistic, and relentlessly, resiliently agentic.
