The fight against climate change, and the growth demanding economic mode called capitalism, is existential. TAKE HEART IN THIS: The system of imperialism, competition, and capitalism is far from inevitable. It is fragile, and cracking. A new world is being born! We will pick up what was left by the trail, we will forge new, harmonious ways of life with ancient wisdom and modern brilliance all the same. The alien state of things under industrial capitalism is far from natural, far from sustainable. It is destroying the very world, yes, but it is not done and for so long as we all still breathe and dream it will not be.
