This is inspired writing. Metaphorically and in real terms. To divest ourselves of received knowledge and belief and to remove ourselves from entrenched systems does indeed require giant leaps of faith and letting go the side of the pool. And yes we must find a way to swim or stay afloat in the turbulent wake of all thing’s capital and necessary for optimum survival. Permaculture offers sound principles of Earth Care, People Care and Fair Share that allow for us to seek new paradigms of existence and by taking others along with us instead of leaving them behind as present models do.
Yes ground up is one way but it’s a mighty beast we fight and I suppose the challenge is to find governments that are invested in the capital of people instead of the economics and capital of fiscal growth above all else. Recognising this is key.
wow and thank you for that toughtful comment, yes really all of tht is the case and we are grappling with huge themes and issues here. these early tentative steps outside of the imperialist frame, the Cuba's, Soviet experiments and early African socialist states maybe be flawed and error strewn but they are the only road map and ealy experiments we have to guide out of this nightmare. Investing in people and society and empowering them all to become earth stewards is the only way forward I can see.
